Cheri703Question for my independent contractor comrades: is there a preferred way of tracking/billing/invoicing time? Ideally something android based/integrated?16:31
dzhoone sees all sorts of time tracking apps out there17:25
dzholast time I tried to use one was on Palm OS days, though.17:25
dzhopre HP palm17:26
Cheri703yeah, I found a time tracking app that I think will be good, is free and allows export to google docs and others as csv17:36
dzhooh yeah?17:50
dzhowill be interesting to read what it is, how it works out for you . . .17:51
Cheri703it is called "time recording"17:54
dzhowhat a catchy name :-)17:57
Cheri703I know, it is SUPER clever...though better a simple name than one that is cryptic and has nothing to do with the product17:59
dzhovery much so, yes17:59
canthus13Umm.. when you're dealing with a business, what bookkeeping software do you suggest? I can't find *any* satisfactory bookkeeping software for linux that can replace something like ACT or Peachtree or Quickbooks.18:13
Cheri703I have gnucash and it is the awesome :) don't use it for business stuff, but I think it was thafreak who was talking about it (apologies if it wasn't)18:19
canthus13Getting someone to switch to that from an accounting suite they already know is like taking someone out of a caddilac and trying to get them to drive a stick-shift diesel semi. :?18:26
Cheri703but it is actually pretty decent, it is full double entry accounting18:35
* canthus13 nods.18:38

jrgiffordfun, so i gained roughly 5-6GB of logfiles in an hour23:38
jrgiffordbecause I had ufw set to log everything, and forgot to turn it off23:38
jrgifford1D10T error23:38
Unit193Heh, I had a good one when a log grew to about 13-19G, took up all free space.23:39
jrgiffordnice, not bad.23:42
Unit193Yes bad. :P23:42
jrgiffordbiggest log file i've ever had to deal with was 23GB, the apache logs for a web server hadn't been rotated in 8 months.23:42
jrgiffordafter i did that, within a week it was back to 1GB.23:42
Unit193I had a great apache error log, it was HUGE. (Don't know how large, but not saying larger than 23G)23:43
jrgiffordwhats really fun is looking at the user agent strings for those logs23:44
jrgiffordand seeing crazy things like outlook visiting your site23:44
jrgiffordand IE523:44
jrgifford*IE623:44
canthus13jrgifford: If it didn't freak out certain websites, I'd have Apple //e ProDOS 1.8 in my user agent. :)23:55
