Some of our users are experiencing connection problems when using the Yahoo widget and since we (digitalbase) aren’t having enough time to spare, we’re now looking for third-party developers who can develop a new widget for us.

We’d like it to be developed using Adobe Air, so if you’re skilled, interested and up for the job, make sure to have a look and bid at Elance.

To please more developpers, we introduce today our JSON API.

You could already write your own apps using our API (see documentation), but if you prefer the JSON format than you can now use for example https://secure.trackmypeople.com/api/status.json instead of https://secure.trackmypeople.com/xml/status.

Please note that some xml responses have changed, so if you were already writing an application then you better use the new xml-url, which is https://secure.trackmypeople.com/api/$action.xml, where ‘.xml’ may be ommitted.
All old xml responses remain the same if you use the old url: https://secure.trackmypeople.com/xml/$action, but it will become deprecated and the new responses contain more information.

As always further suggestions are welcome at info@trackmypeople.com.

A new version of the gnome applet is online. We fixed some small bugs.

• bugfix: The widgets wont start tracking when there is no internet.
• small: "user logged in success!" => "User logged in successfully!"

Feel free to informs us about bugs or leave some feedback or suggestions.

We have just released a new Windows/Mac version for the time tracking applet and now we have an update of the  Linux Gnome applet. Download the .deb here , and install it using synaptics.

A list of things we changed:

• small : language fix 'iva' -> 'via'
• bugfix : fixed day timer (time you have already worked for today) when refreshing applet
• feature : added autostart option : this option will automatically start tracking your attendance when the widget launches
• feature : autoload support : use this option to automatically log in using a certain user
• feature : authentication over http auth (improved)
• feature : using new XML/API protocol
• feature : improved checking of password when setting up an account

• fixed few minor bugs

As always, feedback welcome. Keep in mind we need your feedback to make trackmypeople the best available web timesheet software that is free !

After a few days of testing we got plenty of feedback resulting in a big update. Use our new & improved time widget to track your time from your desktop (download here ).

What's new ?

New features :

• added option "open urls": this option will allow us to open an url from your widget. In the future we will use this to inform you about widget updates, conflicting time blocks or other urgent issues that need your immediate attention.
• added option : "automatic attendance tracking" : when this option is enabled, the widget will automatically start tracking your attendance as soon as the widget is loaded (or when you start your computer)
• added option : "stop on close" : this option will automatically stop your time tracking session as soon as the widget (or your computer) is closed.
• added option : "choose your display" : choose wether you want to use the widget in small / large view (see screenshots)
• new feature : timeblock comments : when closing a time block (after you have worked on a single project) you can enter a description. This description will be stored together with the timeblock details for future reference.
• bugfix : parsing errors when pressing stop multiple times
• bugfix : parsing errors when there is no internet connection

You don't believe we did all that in a few days ? Check out some screenshots below.
