ididwork.com helps keep track of... work, surprisingly enough
ididwork.com is a great site to use if you a freelancer or if you want to keep track of what you have accomplished at the office. You are given simple text entry points to log what project you did and you can tag it into a certain category, things like presentations, blog posts, report, etc.
This gives you a running list of what you have accomplished, it provides charts of daily accomplishment, what you have done the most work on according to your tags and a graph of overall performance.
You can also use the feedback button to email your manager your recent progress and get comments from him or her. It's very simple to use and free to sign up. I think it will be a great place to keep track of my blog posts and time spent on other writing projects I am doing.
And, the most useful part if you are working in a team, you can add feeds to your teammates ididwork accounts. For example, if Brad, Lee and I are working on a joint feature post and I need to wait for Brad to be finished with his portion before I can complete mine, if we link up, I can tell as soon as he is done. Then Lee can see when we are both finished and work on his portion.
You can also use the feature as a manager or supervisor and keep track of what your team has completed.
The best part? Since it's on the web you can use it from any computer you are at and if IT decides to "fix" your computer overnight, you won't lose all your data.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

You know, this would be a really cool tool if it would support timetracking as well. Everytime you enter something you've done, you add the time you've worked on it, so you'd be able to generate timesheets. I'd completely dig it.

I've been needing something like this for the last few weeks, until last night I thought of just doing it in a Google Docs spreadsheet. Now I have no desire to use a fancier/slicker/more complicated solution.

Not bad but I would like to see the time sheet also. Now this has two sides. One you get done on time or early and you are OK but if you are late.....

Interesting. I may make use of this. I'll second (third?) the call for timetracking, however.

Track time with the amount of time in brackets
* "[:30] finished the design" means I finished the design in 30 minutes
* [1:30] - the hour goes to the left of the :, the minutes to the right
* [design :5] - You can mix and match tags with the time. In this case, you added the tag 'design', and said it took 5 minutes.

There was another update today. The time tracking reports are now great, time per tag is easily seen etc. I suggest you take another look at it!
