Keeping track of time spent on mac

Hi,
I have 3 kids and I'd like to keep tabs on how much time they spent on the computer. I know I can check login times through terminal but is there another cheap or free program that lets me do that with an easier interface? I also have a PC networked to the Mac and would like to keep track of that one as well.
Thanks
Stefan

CS5 keeping track of time spent with a project

I am not sure, if this would qualify as a feature request, or if there is a feture i have just not found yet.
Also i am not sure, if this is or is not a technical question.
Often i would like to know, how many hours i have already spent with one project. So is there any possibility in Premiere / and or After Effects, to see that sort of stats?
Maybe i should find the consistency to keep a book, a pen and a watch on my desk, but i find that hard at times...

Yeah, Bill that sounds interesting, a third party tool that keeps track, when a file (in this case pproj) is open / being used.
(so much for on topic...)
Rod:
Too bad, megaplayground has no homepage up (but who am i to judge, i am not a webdesigner, so it takes me quite a while to get my portfolio reworked and by the time it is finally finished, i don't like it anymore, then i start again and the dog bites it's own tail.)
I am sorry, but i'm not sure, what exactly you want to know from me there.
I suppose, you ask about stuff that interests you...
Are they working on AVID, FCP, Pr, Media100 ?
I am quite familiar with AVID in larger companies, have only very basic knowledge of FCP, learned the job on Media100, but that was a couple of years ago and i would say my experiences with Pr are somewhere in the middle.
So i don't feel like i could tell you any smart questions to ask...
Make sure to ask them, if they need someone for editing and Motion Graphics, i would love a trip to nyc for a few months
If you're just getting into this stuff, why don't you just enjoy the tour, chat up the hot girl at the front desk (don't know why, but they always seem to be singles) and check out the coffe?
and there are no dumb questions within or beyond the basics, dumb questions don't exist, the term "dumb question" is only used by people that are not willing or unable to help but at the same time want to make sure, they're seen as a smarter guy than the inquirer...
So happy that's something that is not happening inside this forum as far as i have experienced... there are others, and that's also why i am here.
(was all of that english? it's way past beer fourtyfive and i'm not a native speaker)
aaanyway, have a fun tour and if they run avid, ask them, why their unity writes much bigger files and needs huge raids in comparison to single workstation setups
i think, i am overdoing it a bit with the winking smileys, i hate them and am thinking of a splatter movie involving some guys with faces like these...
What was the OPs topic again? [no, i will not use this smileyfunction now! i am strong, i can resist this childish urge! they will not have my soul! damn.]

Tracking user time spent on site.......

Hello Friends,
I want to track total time spent by user on my site, after he logs in.
User session time out time is 15 minutes. How can i trace how much time he has spent in total on the site?
Can anyone help me in this?
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Kalpesh

All you can know is what time the user accessed the pages and servlets on your site. Page accesses are logged by the web server and servlet accesses can be logged by code in the servlets. Once the page is downloaded to the user's browser, you can't tell if the user looked at it for 5 minutes or looked at it for 10 seconds and then left the room.

Does it keep track of time?

Hi!
Does the 2nd gen iPod shuffle keep track of time? My 1st gen doesn´t. It just insert the last time of syncing with iTunes as the date most recently played.
Thanks.

Is there a Mac app to keep track of price changes in Mac apps?

There is an iPhone app called Appsfire. You choose apps to "watch." When there is a price change in an app you are "watching," it notifies you. Is there a similar app for the Mac that lets you know of price changes, or updates for apps on the Mac App Store?

It's not a question of how you can sort in the Mac. It's a matter of how it writes files to a FAT based flash drive. The cars stereo will sort the flash drive by the order the files were written in and not by any order the OS has sorted it. This is the same in Windows and Mac, so a utility to "sort" the flash drive. DriveSort does this perfectly, but they don't have a Mac version. I'm looking for a Mac version of this type of software. Surely someone in the Mac world must have run into this flash drive problem and found a fix......

Best program to monitor time spent on FCP, Motion, Soundtrack Pro?

I run a small company as a free lance doc-film maker and was wondering if anyone could recommend the best program for keeping track of time spent working on Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Soundtrack Pro projects for my clients.
I'd like a program that tracks how long I spend on each Final Cut Studio application, like that I can itemize my billing to clients...so many hours spent editing in FCP, doing effects in Motion, even internet research on Safari when looking for photographic/film archives.
Thanks very much in advance to anyone who can help me,
- Nicholas

In general I'd say a spreadsheet or text document and your own diligence are close enough to get an idea, as charging for the time spent in software isn't going to make you a lot of money.

Tracking the average time spent by the user

Hi everyone
I'm working on a system that will track the time spent in my application by each user, The only Idea I found is:
Log every session start time and sessionID and then update it when the session is closed. This approach won't give me an accurate results
Anyone have a better idea ?
Thanks

A realistic approach would be to send the 'time this page was generated' as a hidden-field in the forms. When the data comes back, examine the
value and, if it is reasonable, use it to calculate your elapsed-time.
For an inward-facing (intranet) application, this strategy is pretty reasonable and robust. It's not the only way (you could use Session variables, for instance), but it ought to work pretty well. It certainly has the compelling advantage of being quite easy to do . . .

I have a clock VI that I attached to several other VIs to keep track of running times but for some reason the clock stops at 24 minutes. Why?

I got this VI form a member of the forum. He used it for the same reason so I figured that it worked. I can't seem to fine the reason that it stops at 24 minutes. Could it been something on my computer stopping it. But I have run this VI on several PCs and got the same results.

I am not sure what the VI is supposed to be doing. It seems like it will keep track of time it takes to execute x (=3600xNumeric+1) numbers of iterations. How long it takes depends on the system. If the VI runs slower on a particular system, it will take longer to execute the same number of loop iterations than on another station. For example, on my machine it took 6 min to execute the VI with Numeric=1. Another factor is the wait time set in the loop to =100. I don't see anywhere this taken into the consideration.
I am sending you another VI that counts the time from the start of execution until the Stop button is pressed. Of course, you can replace the Stop button with a condition that suites your needs.
Hope this helps.

I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air. I'm looking for an app or program where I can track time spent of specific projects each day and also document details of each project. Is there anything available that is synced through iCloud?

I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air. I'm looking for a program or app that I can sync though iCloud that will allow me to us all of these devices to track time spent on projects each day along with the ability to add specific information about each project. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

I recommend you consider Omnifocus. It is a task management program which runs on the Mac, Iphone & Ipad. I use it for task management and project management. It let's you store additional information as well. I sync all three devices through a Mobile Me account and I can enter data on any device and it is available on all devices. I believe you can also sync through Dropbox. I'm not sure that you can sync through iCloud yet. The link to their website is: www.omnigroup.com. There may be less expensive alternatives, but this one meets my needs and syncs very well across all devices.

Can Project Web App track output produced rather than time spent?

Hi -- I understand how team members can track the amount of time that they've spent on different tasks using Project Web App. However, what I really need to keep track of is how much they've produced, rather than how much time that they've spent on
it.
For example, I would like each team member to be able to give me a weekly report that says:
# of sparkly blue widgets completed: 10
# of pink matte widgets completed: 15
# of beige widget accessories: 50
I don't care how long it took them to make any of the widgets or widget-related items. I just want to know how many each team member made in a week. Right now we do this in Excel, but I would love to figure out a way to make some sort of form in PWA
where they could just enter their numbers.
Is that possible?
Thanks

How do I keep track of how many times a method is called inside anthr clas?

I am writing code for a program that solves a Knight's Tour. A Knight's Tour is a path a Knight Chess piece can take around the board starting at any spot, touching every square once, and only once. I have to write 2 classes and one is provided. The provided class is encrypted and written by our professor. All I know that it does is simulates the game using the two classes I write and provides a print out and prompts to ask the user which square they want to move to next.
The square class I have to write consists of a constructor that makes a square object that keeps track of its color (white/black) and its status (whether it has been visited, is occupied by the knight, or is free and has not be visited).
The GameBoard class I have to write is what I am having problems with. I am writing a method that determines how many squares have been visited. The previous mentioned class that my professor wrote for me contains a method moveKnight();. The way the program works is that every time moveKnight() is called a square's status is changed to occupied and therefore visited later. moveKnight() will only work if the move requested by the user is a valid move.
SO! My main problem (sorry for all the explaining, just trying to give you all the information) is that I don't know how to keep track of how many times moveKnight() is called by the program. If i can figure this out it should be simple. I'm new to java but i believe...
if(moveKnight() is called)
{count++;} //count is a member variable already initialized
return count;
the moveKnight() is called section within the if() statement is what I am unclear how to do. Please help.
Thanks, Veritas

in your case you want 'count' to be a class attribute rather than a local variable. But yes, incrementing it each time that the method is called will serve your purpose.

How to keep track of how many times a link has been clicked?

How to keep track of how many times a link has been clicked or accessed? Do I need to use database for this?

Hi
Proably something like this can work,
1> Have a servlet/bean invoked when the link is linked
2> have a static variable in that servlet/bean wich gets incremented before the control is passed to another desired page..
The problem with this approach is that care has to be taken that the servlet/bean is not re-instalised, in case of which the static variable will also be instalised and the data would be lost.
The best thing is to store the count in the database.

Adding a counter that keeps track of the total number of times a loop has run, even if LabVIEW has been restarted.

Hi all,
I am writing a VI for measuring data and inserting it into a database. The measurements are controlled by a loop that runs once every minute. I want to give each measurement a unique id number and store this too in the database.
To do this, I want to add a counter to this loop so that I can count the number of times the loop has executed in total. This is, even if the VI, LabVIEW or even th PC is restarted, I want the counter to keep track of the number of executions. If say, the loope executes two times and then the VI is stopped and restarted, I want the following number on the counter to be three.
Does anyone have an idea about how to do this? I am gratefule for any help!
Clara

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Not allowed to give away code but I can describe one of my "Totalizers" used to keep track of how much stuff has passed through a fliter so we know when to change it.
THe Total izer is implemented as an Action Engine.
It has three actions (methods)
1) Init - Opens an ini file and reads the last values read and cahces these in shift registers. It also inits a timer so we now how long since the last file I/O.
2) Update - Uses the data passed by the caller to update the totals. It also checks how long since the last save and if more than one minute it writes to the ini file (forced write).
3) Read - returns the totals for display and evealuating if a an alarm should be triggered to change the filter.
Note:
THe pre-LV 8.6 version of the ini file exposed methods to allow writing to the file. The new ini functions do not expose that functionality and require closing the file.

ITunes 11 and keeping track of number of times a track is listened to

iTunes 11 does not keep track anymore of number of times a song is played. It keeps the number you had before but does not increase the number after it is played. Anybody else has the same problem?

For that you need to have a shift register or a feedback node and keep counting whenever the case structure case is executed the count will be increased by one see the attached snippet.
Good Luck
The best solution is the one you find it by yourself
