A comment on the problem "no graphs in dashboard" in RescueTime:

Hi Alex- Could you email team@rescuetime.com with your account email addy? We'll see what we can learn. – Tony, on July 07, 2008 17:38

I have a similar problem that may be related. It only affects one graph - the time-spent graph on the homepage. Data seems to come in OK and all the other graphs work.

I'm running Firefox 3 and Flash 9,0,124,0 on Ubuntu 8.04.

Hmm, I'm in NZ - GMT+12 - and it's 6pm, June 3rd. If I click on "Today" in the dashboard, I see the report for June 2nd.

There's no timezone listed under settings, but my country is set to NZ.

The link to "Today" has the date hard-coded: http://www.rescuetime.com/widgets?mon...

I can click "forward" into June 3 - THE FUTURE - but since I live in the future, this is counter-intuitive.

the netvibes rescuetime widget claims that the XML data is invalid.

Still not fixed it? I often have google left logged in, anyone could click the arrow and press "Edit Settings" and see my password!

cool...thanks!

Yeah that's a bummer. Basically the toolkit doesn't have a password field, so I have to write a special one to use in that case, and I just haven't prioritized it. It doesn't really make a difference though because once you set it it's hidden.

I plan on fixing this soon. :/

One comment--this widget shows your password. EEK

OK thanks! That's actually super helpful. One last question. :) Can you also tell me if you see anything similar on your dashboard page inside rescuetime.com?

cleared cookie still see the error

Brian Fioca replied on April 16, 2008 17:30 to the question "netvibes widget" in RescueTime:

Hi, sorry you're having this problem. I suspect there might be some issues with cookies getting out of sync with the new release. If you wouldn't mind, would you try clearing your browser's cookies and giving it another try? If that doesn't help let me know - I'd be very helpful in getting to the bottom of this.

Thanks much

Hi! I just found the problem. Turns out this only happened when going to rescuetime.com vs www.rescuetime.com which is why we didn't catch it sooner. Sorry you had trouble, it should be working correctly in either case now.

Brian Fioca replied on April 14, 2008 02:04 to the problem "I can't modify the tags on some applications!" in RescueTime:

Hi Cait. Sorry for the problem... We just released a batch of new features today and it seems like we introduced this bug in the process.

We believe we fixed the problem now. Let us know if you have any more trouble.

Thanks for the bug report!

Thanks, this is great!

Brian Fioca replied on April 02, 2008 18:48 to the idea "Rescuetime Dashboard Widget" in RescueTime:

That's a great idea. We really want to make one of these for the mac dashboard (and for windows vista as well), but for now - it already works if you use the Netvibes widget.

Here's how:

Go here: http://eco.netvibes.com/widgets/22997...
Click on the also available for Apple Dashboard link. It'll download and ask you to install, set your RescueTime credentials in the widget and you're golden.

Hope that helps!

Brian Fioca replied on March 28, 2008 00:09 to the question "Do tags' productivity rating conflict with each other?" in RescueTime:

Yeah, overlapping tag scores will influence each other. That way you can have something like Outlook, which might be tagged work (with a score of +2) and communication (with maybe a 0), and it'll result in having a combined score of 1. You can read more about scores here: http://www.rescuetime.com/score_info

It is a bit confusing - one thing that just struck me as a good idea might be to show you what the score is on things that have overlapping tags.

Hope that helps!

Brian Fioca replied on March 19, 2008 15:07 to the problem "why does the iGoogle widget show my password to anyone looking over my shoulder?" in RescueTime:

The simple answer is, there no "password" field type in iGoogle widgets. To fix it, I think I have to make my own custom field, and I just haven't had time to learn how to do that. It used to accept an API key that was long and hard to get, but we decided that the password was easier to remember. I know, it's lame. I promise I'll fix it soon.

Brian Fioca replied on March 07, 2008 16:41 to the question "RSS feed for goals stays empty." in RescueTime:

Hi - sorry for the trouble! Your feed should be working again. We had a minor glitch with people whose time zones were far from ours.

Brian Fioca replied on March 02, 2008 20:04 to the idea "Limiting the number of entries in the weekly emails" in RescueTime:

Hi, yeah - it used to only send the top 10. It looks like I broke that this week with the addition of the productivity score. It'll be fixed before the next mailing.

Thanks much for pointing it out, though! I might not have noticed it.
