Project time tracking by Tick

tick time trackerTick tracks project time. The best part? It's free! Tick is a simplistic approach to time management. The interface is extremely clean, easy to use, and straightforward which is a major plus, because who really likes spending their time fiddling with entering time? Not me.

Through Tick, you can create projects, assign the projects to a specific client, name the project, and give the specific hourly budget for the project. When this is set, you can create specific tasks for the job, and assign each task with a time limit. When items change in the project, or when time is entered in the reporting section, email notifications are sent. Reporting is laid out by client, with a breakdown of time entered for each specific client project. Filling out time for projects is simple. Choose your date, select your client and specific job you were working on, and drop your time in. Tick also generates a nice little progress bar that graphically displays how much time has been spent on the project in total, and how much time is left from your set hourly budget for the project.

All in all, Tick is a very useful time tracking application. It is a very simple and easy to use online tool used to keep track of your project time, to make sure budgets are hit. Integration through Basecamp is available through the Basecamp API's, which easily link up the two applications. Upon the launch of Tick, packages will be available from free to $79, and will be announced when it is completely launched.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
