Some numbers to look on
After two days of slow hacking, i present you the fruit of my work – the first iteration on statistics.
There are plenty of things to be added and polished here, but i think this is a nice little good start.
If you have nifty ideas for factoids (on the right), you are welcome to share. For now I tried to discern early birds (20% of days start between 6am and 9am) / owls (20% of days start between 11pm and 5am or something) and busy bees (20% of tasks are shorter than 15 minutes). I’m in none of the groups so you don’t see that in screen shot.
The chart thing on top should be redone properly with year and month tickers and better labels.
The “starts and ends” bits maybe should use statistical median or mode instead of simple averages.
Hmm, but all in all I’m satisfied.
Now, give it a go and give me some feedback – tomorrow is the day of 2.27.3 tarballs!
Awesome!
Hi!
It looks very good!
I’m using hamster on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid, installed from repository.
I’d like to update to the latest version, but like also apt-get
Is there any repository on sourceforge to use?
Thanks
I guess you mean Launchpad PPA – no we don’t have that.
Installing from sources and updating time after time is not so hard though
Really awesome!
Can I suggest 2 things?
First, can you add a filter for Categories and activities, cause when I want to generate a report I need to not show some activities, for example, my boss want a report of total work time and I can’t have “lunch” in the report.
Second, is it difficult to make a windows version too? Cause some of my co-workers can’t use linux
The category filter for reports is now in. You can’t filter by activities though.
And as for windows – i have no clue really how difficult or not it is to do it, but a windows port would be nice indeed
I like it!
The additional statistics are pretty nice.
Starts and stops is pretty cool.
This is more for the day to day reporting, that summary statistics, but it would be cool to show on a day by day basis, the time block and category of task you were working on. I see this in different colors by category and then one could review a week and see that lunch category occured at “lunchtime” and that on Friday’s work activities stopped earlier… It would be kind of like the Starts and Stops chart, but with color break down by task category.
Thanks Beau, will keep your idea in mind
Hello,
Is it possible to get monthly reports as sum of total hours spent (instead of days?). I mean e.g. 50 h instead of 2 days and 2 hours.
And is it possible to choose location of hamster database file on my disk?
We don’t round to days any more in 2.27.x series, if that’s what you mean. As for database location, i think you are trying to approach problem from the other end – there is no point for us to have a configurable location, just like all other apps that store data in your home folder. If you would like to perform backups or anything, i’d suggest using symlinks and tools like conduit.
Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks.
