[16:58] <Cheri703> Question for my independent contractor comrades: is there a preferred way of tracking/billing/invoicing time? Ideally something android based/integrated?
[17:18] <nigelb> Cheri703: Have you looked at FreshBooks?
[17:19] <nigelb> It's pretty good. I don't know if they have a mobile ap.
[17:19] <nigelb> *app
[17:22] <nigelb> They seem to have an iPhone app and no android app :(
[17:23] <Cheri703> hmm...ok. I will just need something fairly basic "I worked x hours at agreed upon $x, pay me"
[17:24] <nigelb> let me check of zoho has something for it.
[17:29] <nigelb> Cheri703: Check out zoho books.
[17:29] <nigelb> The only problem with zoho books is you can't take your data out.
[17:36] <Cheri703> ok
[17:36] <Cheri703> :s
[17:36] <Cheri703> that's not so great
[17:36]  * Cheri703 was helping husband with his new phone too :)
[17:37] <nigelb> Yeah. "CLoud" services aren't great :(
[17:37] <nigelb> These are times when I just use google docs.
[17:37] <nigelb> Or excel + dropbox.
[17:37] <Cheri703> yeah, found a time tracker that exports .csv and straight into google docs if I want
[17:37] <Cheri703> which is awesome, but need to figure out how to send invoices
[17:38] <Cheri703> (as an aside, I am finding AWESOME stuff for my new phone, I have a lot more options now that I have a phone powerful enough for widgets and such
[17:38] <Cheri703> )
[18:10] <JanC> there are several time trackers in the repositories AFAIK (although I never used them)
[18:11] <JanC> but some of them might have android versions / additions
[18:21] <Cheri703> taskcoach has a nice time tracker, but unless they recently changed their mind, no android app (/me goes to check)
[18:21] <Cheri703> nope :/
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
[18:39] <JanC> I guess the android (or other smartphone) part should only register time/task, while the desktop part should do the aggregation & possibly the invoice part
