I must admit I never actually ended up using it much. I also never wrote the interface for calculating statistics across days/weeks etc. Because it uses Growl (whose command line interface seems to differ slightly between versions), and a hotkey setup, it\'s also difficult for me to provide some kind of install package (this is something Ruby is really weak on in general)... so it remains kind of a hobby project for others who know Ruby and want to tinker. I am surprised nobody else have made kind of a polished program with the same design - it seems obviously useful. Maybe someone will feel inspired - the idea is there for the taking.

I was able to track down almost every day for a little over two months, I recall, and got to know that in average the time I spent to sleep is the same as time I spent on studying/research ;-) But I got tired after that and quit. Unfortunately. I wonder how's your experiment went? Did you post the "result" here? And I'm also interested in your program, but I don't know how to make it work... if only you could provide some easy steps.. Thanks for a good article! That was *way* cool :-)
