About Wired In
----
This is my joint time tracker and task organiser. Sometime around
October 2011 I got fed up with using post-it notes, text files, online sites, complicated
local wordpress installations, etc. to keep track of what I do, how I do
it, and when I do it. I figured with a lot of work I could make a
program that does it better - this is the result, still in progress.

It is free to use and develop; fork away. I use it daily. I have loaded two example files that show how the information is stored. I would like to move away from .csv eventually.

Some files - my current tasks, lists, and subfunctions - are not included for privacy reasons (obviously, I don't want everyone knwoing what I actually do all day.). These files are privately stored in a bitbucket and should not appear in here.

I originally hadn't intended to make this public - there are a lot of
small bugs that may need to be fixed. There's also a lot of references
to the film Avatar - this started out being called Mask On, the idea
being that I wanted to put my mask on when I went out into the jungle.
Obviously this, and all other references, are merely for my own personal
amusement, and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Installation
----
For Mac (my OS) or Linux.

Obviously, this is just a python script with various .csv databases.
I run everything from the Terminal and use [mvim](http://code.google.com/p/macvim/) 
to manually edit the .csv's, as I don't have an easy write function made up. If you're not
cool with this, I don't have a solution for you at the moment. I use [Quicksilver](http://www.blacktree.com/) to access the Terminal quickly.

Download the script, and put it somewhere you're happy with it being.

Set up a symbolic link - I use `wyr`, and also `mask`, as aliases:

ln -s /Users/xyz/long/absolute/path/to/script.py /usr/bin/wyr

Make it executable:

chmod a+x /Users/xyz/long/absolute/path/to/wired_in.py

Change the path files in the beginning of wired_in.py to your path.
Change file names accordingly. To get an opening line in each file,
type:

wyr write
    wyr buy
    wyr fence

`wyr help` will give you a more-or-less accurate list of the commands you can use.

I highly advise that you use this program along with [GeekTools](http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektool/) to stop the constant `wyr today tasks all`.
Having it on the desktop is a great, easy, cluttered ux. I've provided a
screenshot below.

Examination text](https://github.com/RichardLitt/wired-in/blob/master/screenshot.png?raw=true)

If you have a job and want to keep track of your hours, let me know and
I'll hit you with my personal work python script. I am keeping it off
here due to security and privacy reasons.
