:-) Classic response! I don't know about any one else, but, for "Left Brained" techno types, you would think this would be as regimented as the most tedious trek though a 100+ line JVM stack trace! But, for whatever reason, I find myself persuing the most assinine threads of troubleshooting and/or R&D diversionary distraction rather than banging out time and description entries for billing! :-) It must be ADHD related! I feel a little better knowing it is not just me. :-)
If this ActiTime works like it is promoted, there may yet be some hope. So far, it appears simple enough. I haven't yet tried the invoicing export to Quickbook. That will be the real test. One thing also that I am hoping might prove advantageous is that with Jetty (akin to Tomcat) being web-based, I can set it up for access from anywhere and perhaps I will be more inclined to bang stuff out into it at the instant in time from wherever rather than collecting a stack of notes and scrambling to build it out up to a month after the fact (as it seems I often find myself doing).

No experience with Actitime, but anything has to be better than EZStreet. I had a bizarre dream on Thursday night. Several coworkers and I were superheroes (sort of a Justice League thing). Our biggest problem wasn't the Legion of Doom; it was prompt and accurate time entry. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 4, 2009, at 4:19 PM, "Mark J.

I have started to play around with it as time-tracking/entering and invoicing are my LEAST favorite (but MOST necessary) activities as a consultant. I was Googling around and this one kept popping up. I don't think it is Open Source but it is Jetty-based and can load on Linux or Windows and can use MySQL. The free version includes an invoice importer into Quickbooks as well. It looks promising. Was wondering if anyone else here had used it and, if so, how has it worked out for you?? Are there any other similar tools that others of you use or know of that can also export to Quickbooks or the like?? I have been using an Excel spreadsheet to date and, while simplistic, it is still a pain to cut-n-paste into Quickbooks. On a whim, I searched for something more to the point and found this. I know a lot of consultants now use SaaS-based time and invoicing solutions, but, what I wanted is something self-hosted and not Microsoft-dependent. Free was a big plus too!
