We’ve uploaded a series of tutorial videos to YouTube for Time Tracker. The first one (press the “More” button to see it below) is a “soup to nuts” tutorial on using Time Tracker. We hope that you have already found Time Tracker to be easy to use. This video is meant to teach someone who has gotten the hang of creating records to the point where they can feel confident generating reports, filtering records, understanding what the rounding features do, etc.

As we create new features in Time Tracker, we’ll also be adding new videos to the YouTube page, so be sure to check up on it occasionally to see what has changed.

Feel free to leave us comments or requests for other features or videos of features that you would like to see.

Time Tracker 2.5.1 has been released and is available on the Nonlinear Ideas website.

This release should be fully backward compatible with any previous version of Time Tracker.

– Major Features -

1. We’ve added the ability to “limit” any task to a fixed amount of time.  This can be configured so you can set it any time you start working or just when you want it.  This feature was requested by one of our users “down under” (thanks Ian).
2. We’ve added the ability to round to minutes.  This was asked for by one of our users.
3. Fixed the icons so they had at least one other color (yellow).  Since the desktop icon was black, some users couldn’t see it at all.
4. Fixed the colors on Vista so that they appeared correctly.  We can’t say they are pretty, but at least they are consistent.
5. Added support for subscription based licenses.

Welcome to the Nonlinear Ideas Inc. blog pages.

These pages are created as a complement to our forums.  The intent of these pages is to let our readers (or maybe just reader…does anybody actually read a blog from a software company?) know about our products.  We’d love to talk about politics, religion, how if we were “in charge” the world would be a better place, etc., but really, we’re only qualified to talk about software, and mostly only about our software for that matter.

We’ll talk about the stuff we’ve created, the stuff we’re thinking about creating; let’s face it now, this may not be the most exciting blog you’re going to read.  We may have to throw in some “highly controversial” comments about games we’ve played just to keep it interesting (but probably only for people who have also played those games, and probably only if they think we could add anything to the thousands of other blogs out there, so this may not exactly be a rousing call to action for you either).  Or some racy pictures of us in compromising positions (which will be much less interesting than how we got into the positions in the first place).  You like middle-aged gym-averse nerds in leather….right?

Enjoy The Ride.
