Recently active topics in RescueTime tagged with bugs

The RSS feed seems to be empty. it says:

I have 5 or 6 goals, and they were showing up, but aren't anymore

I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11. I downloaded RescueTime, installed it, and it was working fine. Then I saw a preference that said "Hide Dock Item," which I clicked, relaunched the application, and now I can't access it. I have a RescueTime menu item on my menu bar, but I can't click it (as I could when I had a dock icon). RescueTime doesn't show up in my application list or my force-quit list. Besides the menu icon (that I can't click), I'd have no way of knowing the program was even open.

Help! How do I undo this, or at least get the menu icon to work?

Thanks,
Julie

Error in the debug log:

There was an unexpected error, some data may have been lost. Mysql::Error: Duplicate entry '30550-2008-06-04-9-17772' for key 1: INSERT INTO hourly_duration_summaries (`month`, `records_count`, `w

[update] short additional info - the data HAS been lost :)

Hi

I am noticing RescueTime reporting sites which I have never visited at all - that too for long durations. For example sites like plusmo.com, dir.blogflux.com. I repeat I have never ever visited these sites, whereas its reporting durations of 44 min for dir.blogflux.com.

And today surprisingly its not reporting the sites I actually visited, and is reporting this last dir.blogflux.com.

Please could you help.

This only started happening a few days ago (possibly with the latest RescueTime update?), but almost all time spent in Firefox 3 beta 5 is being displayed as "Unknown URL". I've been using the Firefox 3 beta 5 for awhile, and this has only just started to happen. A few websites are showing up, but only a very small percentage. Thanks.

I spent a couple of hours the first time I used RescueTime tagging applications and web-sites. After looking at my stats for the first week I realized that the "scheme" I was using "all wrong"

I was hoping to find a "clear all tags" button so I could start over.

I'm now going through the painfully slow process of trying to remove all tags. Uggh - getting server errors etc.(502 proxy error)! Also the web page "appears" to allow stacking multiple requests but I think in reality its only doing the first one I click [Remove It] on and throwing away anything else. I tried to short-cut the process by starting multiple tabs but its just gives me the above error.

Finally I've got rid of all my existing tags ... how do I clear out my favorite tags ... will these just "age out" when I add new tags?

See next post for a suggestion ...

Edit add ... just discovered that when I [Select All] before removing a tag it only affects the current page .... sigh ... 5 more pages to go :-(

The Mac data collector seems to not collect any data at all from my system. Log files are being created, and even uploaded, but they all contain no activity. I assure you I'm using my computer, as I've been actively coding and testing a new feature for Get Satisfaction since launching RescueTime.

Here's example log file content (in entirety):

---
---
end_time: 2008-05-20 13:56:17
end_time: 2008-05-20 13:56:17

This error has started to appear regularly, using the Mac client (OSX 10.4.11, G5 dual PPC).

After deleting all of my data for more that 5 times!! I finally found whats going on...

I have a computer with different regional settings [Arabic (Saudi Arabia)] for development purposes. Any activity on that computer will not come under any of the tabs but "Forever"(The Dinosaurs tab :P). Furthermore "Time spent" graph after retrieving data the Data collector is successfully sending updates and website is showing that it had received the data. (with some issues with it too I will address it in another post).

If you see the log below it clearly shows the problem. System date for yesterday was 13/04/1429 according to Hijri calender. And Data collector is not sending any dates to the server.

For more information on Hijri Calender check out following links

I do not use Arabic applications so I cannot confirm, but there could be a possibility that there will be more localization issues. Check out the following link that addresses many issues regarding Arabic support in other application areas.

I have a mac, MacOS 10.5, and RescueTime keeps logging the time even when I put the computer to sleep.
Yesterday, I checked the weather and decided to go out, and put the computer to sleep. When I came back, I waked the machine, and RescueTime now shows one hour and a half on weather.yahoo.com.
I had this happen again today for less than one hour.
However, it seems to be working fine when the machine sleeps for more than 4 hours. The time is not being logged in that case. (I've not tried sleeping between 1:30 and 4h, so the limit, if any, should be within)

I suspect that my time isn't being logged correctly. In one particular hour I spent my time in applications tagged with "work". The graph for that hour says I spent 9 minutes on work and 48 on "everything else". I've looked at the logs of all the apps and sites and I can't see enough time spent during that hour to make up the 48 minutes.

It seems since yesterday, every time I send an update or an update is sent automatically no information shows on my dashboard and then there's a similar thing in the debug window:

I'm pretty sure this started happening after I installed the latest updates for my mac (I'm running Leopard) if that's any help. I've tried restarting multiple times but the error still occurs.
