TimeLog


I finally found an app to keep track of my time. Up to this point I've been using an AppleWorks spreadsheet, believe it or not. I bought iWork and that inspired me to get rid of the spreadsheet so I wouldn't have to use AppleWorks anymore (wish iWork had a spreadsheet, don't you?).

The app I found is TimeLog. It appears to be written in RealBasic, but that didn't deter me. That app looks good enough that I can overlook that. It appears that a Cocoa version is in the works anyway.

It's received a lot of praise and I would have to agree. It's pretty good. Check it out if you need a timesheet app.

Safin Wins!

Just finished watching a great match today. Roger Federer vs. Marat Safin in the Austrailan Open semi-final. It went the distance with both players having match points. Roger had 1 and Marat had 7. In the end Safin pulled it out 5-7, 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (8-6), 9-7.

Safin is quickly becoming my favorite player on the tour. Except of course, for Andre Agassi.
