I have kind of lost track of time.\u00a0\u00a0 Christmas-New Years tends to be a time when I ‘play’ a bit with new technologies and have a chance to try things on for size.\u00a0 Alas, work has prevented me from playing!\u00a0 But, all work and no play makes for a very dull boy so I DID manage to pull off a quick playtime in the name of expediency.<\/p>\n
As a contract programmer (among other things) one of the biggest challenges is to track the time I spend on various projects and activities.\u00a0 A few years back I wrote a simple time tracking application which I started to use and then abandoned because I couldn’t *easily* track time.\u00a0 I wanted it to be so easy that all I had to do was log in, click and start recording my time on a project.\u00a0 I also wanted to be able to manually add and change time.\u00a0 Nothing fit the bill.<\/p>\n
Quite by accident I stumbled across Kimai<\/a>.\u00a0 I was initially put off because the site was in German (it took me a while to find the UK flag indicating an English version). But, since I run PHP on i and it was a snap to install, I was quickly up and running.\u00a0 This is a GREAT time tracking application.\u00a0 Easy to use.\u00a0 Easy to set up.<\/p>\n I have barely scratched the surface on using it but I will report additional progress in the future. The great thing about the app is that I can use it anywhere I have Internet access.\u00a0 I hope to find a mobile app version (there *was* one but it is no longer available)\u00a0 so I can record time while away from my desk.<\/p>\n Give it a try.\u00a0 A great application…a *real* time saver!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have kind of lost track of time.\u00a0\u00a0 Christmas-New Years tends to be a time when I ‘play’ a bit with new technologies and have a chance to try things on for size.\u00a0 Alas, work has prevented me from playing!\u00a0 … Continue reading
