[Hidden-tech] Time Tracking and Billing

[Matt Lampiasi]

Yes, paper and pen isn't cutting edge anymore I'd agree. I'm sure I'm 
not the only one to think of about 5 jokes I could have responded to 
this with, but I'm a nice guy :) And if it works for you, great! Also 
you bring up a point about customer access to details: Giving clients 
access and verification to logged hours is why I like web enabled,  role 
based apps (i prefer open source but msproject server works too) so that 
you can give your customers a security enabled (they only see their own 
projects) login to their project info.

recently I came across this windows program that is standalone windows 
based , but open source and looks great (haven't tried it though).
http://www.openworkbench.org/

I like how some applications (as mentioned already) have a timeclock you 
scan start and stop.
