Regarding time trackers, I’m aware of several and maybe one below is either what you’ve forgotten or will help jog your memory. My own preference is org-mode in emacs since it functions as a kitchen sink (calendar, time tracking, outlining, note taking, document processing, charting, etc., etc., etc.), but I realize not everyone will use emacs.See sections on clocking:
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Clocking
and billing
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#sec-8

For more likely possibilities (ncurses, ruby, etc.) see:

graphical and osx screen shot = thumbs down for my part, call me stupid, I don’t know why but that really does annoy me more than it should, I don’t get why people do that all the time, I would say that functional and keyboard driven, customizable and simple is something that beats over designed and restrictive every day on my part.

Well, I was thinking more in a time tracking program and less in a calendar or event/task manager.

I was also searching for a cli or ncurses program.

Other 2 similar programs I found are graphical (gtk): sgtt (at sourceforge) and gtimelog.

But from the graphical ones, the gnome hamster-applet is still the best (for my needs).

what about the Event and Task Manager (ETM)?

there are probably more of these than you can shake a stick at…

Hi,

I think it was me who asked you and told you about time trackers for the command line, and the one I mentioned was worklog:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/worklog

There is another time tracker that goes by the same name and is an iphone app, I think, so beware while googling.

The description in the ubuntu repos actually tells more than the “homepage”.

It is a tiny and simple ncurses program, which I didn’t kind of get. It would be nice to hear what you have to say about it.

Regards,
