We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.

I need something to clock in. I'm not sure how org-mode works, but from what I read it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I have to bill hourly, and I wanted to bill only the time I spend in emacs, so if I tab over and open firefox to watch porn, I want the timer to stop. However, if I open a browser within emacs, presumably to do work related things, I want that to go into the timer. Does anyone know of anything with that functionality, or how I could hack something to have that functionality ?

I think this might be what you want. I haven't used it in a very long time, but from what I remember (and I couldn't even remember the name without googling a bit) it would track time spent in each application you run. So you'd get a report on duration for each application as the top/active window. So your work in emacs would all be totaled together, and a separate timer for Chrome/Firefox and another for Solitare/whatever.


It might even break time spent on each specific website down separately so you know how much time you waste on SA vs work related websites.
