Matt's dashboard

Matt replied on April 06, 2009 01:15 to the problem "Rescue time won't even take password before crashing" in RescueTime:

So this problem seems to be back: Same crash report as before. And as before it showed up after I attempted to restart the client after realizing it hadn't been sending its data. I have a 400kb log in the log directory, as well as a 200kb debug.log if you'd like it. This time removing the Rescuetime.com data directory is not helping.

Perhaps something worth doing would have a bit of visual indication if update uploading fails on the server; A little X in the menu item would help tonnes.

Matt marked one of Joe's replies in RescueTime as useful. Joe replied to the problem "Rescue time won't even take password before crashing".

Matt reported a problem in RescueTime on March 26, 2009 03:21:

Rescue time won't even take password before crashing

So I feel like a bit of a disaster; Using the beta client I had an issue that after it crashed I completely stopped logging data. Previously I'd fixed this after talking to Joe by deleting rescuetime.cfg and moving on. After noticing the lost data (if need be, I have the log file with the requested logging level which has the upload errors beginning after the crash), I deleted the rescutime.cfg. Now the beta client crashes on startup:

This is rescue time 2.0.0.525 for Mac.

Matt marked one of Joe's replies in RescueTime as useful. Joe replied to the question "How often is free user data processed?".

Matt asked a question in RescueTime on March 24, 2009 19:03:

How often is free user data processed?

I'm just wondering how often Free user data gets crunched. The control freak inside me would like to know so I don't panic when i notice my dashboard says something like "Last update from your computer processed about 2 hours ago.". I've uppped my logging level to level three, and the data appears to be going out, every three minutes as advertised, just doesn't show up in dashboard every three minutes.

Matt started following the question "Richer stats, like those in the RescueTime blog post" in RescueTime.

A comment on the update "Looking for a few good volunteers" in RescueTime:

Was looking for logs on when it was sending updates, so you pretty much answered my question. Is there any way to change the logging level so that it logs server updates? (Not that I need to at the moment, client seems to be back in working order) – Matt, on March 24, 2009 17:03

Matt replied on March 24, 2009 05:14 to the update "Looking for a few good volunteers" in RescueTime:

Is logging enabled by default? Wondering because I noticed a five hour block without updates and went to check the log and saw only two lines about disk ejection. If it's not on by default, can we enable it somehow?

Matt started following the problem "Avg user shows efficiency score of 0.0 over no time" in RescueTime.
