Great app! I’ve been looking for something similar to this but only coming across things way to bloated than what I actually need!

Two quick comments:
1) I’d love a pocket pc version – and will help beta test
2) Any chance of being able to enter what task you *were* working on?

I’m trying to find a way to log what I actually was working on, rather than what I had planned on working on. – ie. it asks for the task when you press the stop button, rather than when you press the go button.

Right now, I manually go back and change the calendar entry to achive this.

Beyond that, thank’s for providing this incredibly useful program. I have ADD, and this is one of my vital tools in helping to keep me on track and organized.

@Brad and Kelly,

I run it daily from a USB drive, as I’m not allowed to install software on my work PC, works great, makes compiling my timesheet a breeze.

Thanks Brad!

I don’t see why not. The only issue would be if you put the flash drive into a computer that doesn’t have Microsoft’s .NET framework installed. So if you have room, you might want to put the installer for that on your flash drive as well.

Could I install it on a flash drive?

@David Jacobs, thanks for the suggestions. I don’t know about a Pause button though because you’d just stop the task and resume it later.

@Mike Jones, changing up the “busy” to free or something can be done, but if you aren’t busy during that time, what are you doing?

@Prejay, yeah, just launch another instance of Taskblaze and multi-task to your hearts content

Right now though, I am booked solid with programming stuff so it’s going to be a short wait for the next version of Taskblaze.

Is it possible to use this in a multi-tasking sense? I’m often working on multiple tasks at the same time

I’d like to second the request for an export to Excel or tabular data. Also, how about an option to mark the time as something other than “busy” in my Outlook calendar?

Hi and thanks for TaskBlaze. A couple of suggestions to make the program even better .

Is it possible for a setting to retain Task and Category information?

Is it possible to calculate the time for the task and add it to what is entered into Outlook?

I thought about a “Pause” button but not sure how you would implement. It would be useful if you calulated the “Actual” time of the task (minus the Pause)

Regards
