Space monkey! (From 21st amendment’s Bitter American )

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came.

Time tracking, with code!

I’ve spent some more time working on my toggl physical interface:

  • The timer now uses the more familiar mechanic of an old-fashioned punchclock
  • the RFID reader is only reset when a card is read (speeds up reads)

The arduino reader unit handles the reading of tags. On punch-out, the reader prints the tag id, and the number of seconds between punch-in time and punch-out time. the toggl.py script reads this, and creates an entry for the time on toggl.

Still haven’t taken the time to make schematics just yet, but the connections are fairly straightforward.

The code is up over at github

The punchclock

somewhere under there is falafel and halloumi. tasty lunch in Camden!

not much to look at, but this is my new time tracking device.
