I got curious how much time I actually wasted in front of IBrowse and the like, so I made this simple progam to measure that time. Of course OLT can be used to measure any time, not only "net" time. When started, OLT counts from zero by the second, minute and hour until it is stopped. Simple but effective. As an added functionality, OLT can append the time to a log file for future reference. So, how do I use it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is quite simple. Just start the program when you want to start measuring time and stop in when you don't any more. When invoking OLT you can specify a log file as argument, where the time will be written. OLT can be stopped in three ways, CTRL-C from the CLI where it was started, the window close gadget, and last but not least, by running it again. For measuring online time, just edit your "startnet" script and insert this row at the end of it: run NIL: OLT OnLineTime.Log NIL: and this at the end of your "stopnet" script: OLT NIL: Adapt the path and names to suit your system. Legal stuff ~~~~~~~~~~~ I've decided to release OLT as Email-ware. So, if you use the program, send me a letter (an usual snail-mail letter is ok, too :))!
