Big brother is watching you, make the most of it
It’s no surprise that I scrum, given my previous posts about scrumming. While I like using Quicksilver to make notes, using the Quicksilver logger was proving too much to remember. Instead I am back to using an application I have used before.
Onlife poles a list of the applications you are running to ask them what they are doing through out the day. It then displays this in a handy graph. 
You can click on individual items to see that item in a pane (for example emails or web pages) or hover to get a summary of what it was you were doing. The current version has excellent Applescript support, so you can extend Onlife to log anything which is available via Applescript. This is really useful because I can see what I did during the day, and at least feel guilty about time wasting, even if I don’t do anything about it.
My tip, though, don’t show your boss what you do. That’s probably not going to help you.

This is very cool. Has anyone seen anything similar for windows?
