77595 2002-09-08 04:48:00 Hello...

I am a web developer and I am trying to find a simple piece of software that I can use to monitor the amount of time I am spending on a job. I use Dreamweaver UD so does anyone know if there is an extension that will do this? (I have found one that will allow me to operate Winamp from within DW so they cover most eventualities!)

What I want to do for instance is click to start timing, then again when I change jobs or stop working. I know this sounds simple, like why don't I just look at a clock...but I am always losing track of the time once I sit down in front of the computer!

Thanks in advance.

You could have something easy like in Excel where you click a command button and it takes a note of current date/time stamp on PC and puts this in a cell. It could also come up with an input box to say you were working on x job. But you would have to remember to click the button :-)

Not sure if this is what you want though. There must be timesheet type apps on the net. Have you tried trolling through Download.com or something similar?

Perhaps you could even email macromedia ... they might have a suggestion :-)

For a range of other options go to http://tucows.ihug.co.nz/ and type timer in the search box. There are a range of them.
