[16:31] <Cheri703> Question for my independent contractor comrades: is there a preferred way of tracking/billing/invoicing time? Ideally something android based/integrated?
[17:25] <dzho> one sees all sorts of time tracking apps out there
[17:25] <dzho> last time I tried to use one was on Palm OS days, though.
[17:26] <dzho> pre HP palm
[17:36] <Cheri703> yeah, I found a time tracking app that I think will be good, is free and allows export to google docs and others as csv
[17:50] <dzho> oh yeah?
[17:51] <dzho> will be interesting to read what it is, how it works out for you . . .
[17:54] <Cheri703> it is called "time recording"
[17:57] <dzho> what a catchy name :-)
[17:59] <Cheri703> I know, it is SUPER clever...though better a simple name than one that is cryptic and has nothing to do with the product
[17:59] <dzho> very much so, yes
[18:13] <canthus13> Umm.. 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.
[18:19] <Cheri703> I 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)
[18:26] <canthus13> Getting 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. :?
[18:35] <Cheri703> but it is actually pretty decent, it is full double entry accounting
[18:38]  * canthus13 nods.
[22:36] <skellat> Here's what we've got so far for Burning Circle 68: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~skellat/burningcircle/burningcircle/revision/4#BC-68.txt
[22:37] <paultag> ach, god
[22:37] <paultag> I wanted to say hi
[22:37] <paultag> that was hella quick join/part
[22:56] <canthus13> paultag: join > ctrl-v > part
[22:57] <Unit193> You could do it faster...
[22:59] <canthus13> Unit193: I'm sure an irssi script could be written to do it...
[22:59] <paultag> canthus13: >:(
[22:59] <paultag> brbs
[23:00] <Unit193> Heh, I have some nice ones. :P
[23:07] <jrgifford> Argh. I come back from a weekend. and somehow my hard drive is FULL. and I mean FULL.
[23:10] <canthus13> jrgifford: yay logfiles.
[23:10] <jrgifford> exxxxacctly.
[23:11] <jrgifford> whats really confusing is that it was OFF, completely OFF all weekend.
[23:11] <jrgifford> "/dev/sda6            51G   49G     0 100% /"
[23:12] <canthus13> awesome. :)
[23:12] <jrgifford> oh... thunderbird is the culprit.
[23:12] <jrgifford> it trying to download all 1.5GB of my email from this weekend.
[23:14] <canthus13> that's a ridiculous amount of email. o.O
[23:14] <jrgifford> yeah, it is
[23:15] <paultag> 2309 MB of your 7703 MB ← my Gmail (alone)
[23:15] <canthus13> "I have wireless now, so I cut off all the wires and it stopped working."
[23:15]  * canthus13 facepalms.
[23:38] <jrgifford> fun, so i gained roughly 5-6GB of logfiles in an hour
[23:38] <jrgifford> because I had ufw set to log everything, and forgot to turn it off
[23:38] <jrgifford> 1D10T error
[23:39] <Unit193> Heh, I had a good one when a log grew to about 13-19G, took up all free space.
[23:42] <jrgifford> nice, not bad.
[23:42] <Unit193> Yes bad. :P
[23:42] <jrgifford> biggest 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] <jrgifford> after i did that, within a week it was back to 1GB.
[23:43] <Unit193> I had a great apache error log, it was HUGE. (Don't know how large, but not saying larger than 23G)
[23:44] <jrgifford> whats really fun is looking at the user agent strings for those logs
[23:44] <jrgifford> and seeing crazy things like outlook visiting your site
[23:44] <jrgifford> and IE5
[23:44] <jrgifford> *IE6
[23:55] <canthus13> jrgifford: If it didn't freak out certain websites, I'd have Apple //e ProDOS 1.8 in my user agent. :)
