I just found this on Wednesday. I shut down my PC at the end of Wednesday shortly after 18:00. I was out Thursday so today (Friday) was when I powered my PC up. I note that it is reporting a full hour for 18:00 (-19:00) for Wednesday which is obviously wrong as it was turned off at about 18:05.

I can't seem to find what it thinks I was doing for that hour. Possibly being able to list all tasks for an hour (or arbitrary time period) might be useful, at least for diagnostics.

Today I had a strange problem with time being logged while my laptop was in standby mode.
I am so sure that my laptop was in standby mode, because it was in my backpack while commuting to work.
When looking into the yml-file that has been sent there is an URL logged with start and end like this:
start_time: 2008-03-18 06:15:40
end_time: 2008-03-18 08:31:45

06:15 is exactly the time I sent my laptop to standby when leaving home. I am sure it actually reached standby, as I always check this.
08:31 is about the time I started working. So this could be the time I fired up my computer when in the office.

It is not a big problem for me and I have seen this happening today for the first time, but it ruins my statistic. Its probably good as now i already used up my 'gaming' time for today, so i have to be productive for the rest of the day ;-)

I just signed up yesterday and installed RescueTime on my MacBook Pro. It was late in the day, and it completed 1 update before I shut down. This morning I installed the data collector in my XP VMWare Fusion install as well. I now get Timed Out errors in both OSes.

It worked on the Mac side yesterday, but doesn't work on either OS this morning. Is there a server issue? Or is it my computer?

Hi, my primary browser is Opera and I spend much time there. But this time not counted correctly.

In debug tab often show this error:
Error: The client failed to request "opera|WWW_GetWindowInfo!sURL".

And when rescuetime send data to server show error like this:

Sending file : C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\RescueTime.com\logs\pending\rt_20080410-162000.yml

I put my computer on hibernate at the end of the day. It seems RescueTime gets confused sometimes and would record my usage as "Windows Explorer" during hibernation -- even after I close all applications and any open Explorer window. I can't reproduce this problem, but it happens about 50% of the time.

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 have this problem, so I uninstalled it and am now reinstalling it. The installer I've just downloaded tells me the RescueTime folder already exists and do I want to install it there anyway. Shouldn't the uninstaller have deleted that folder, given that it asked me during installation was I sure I wanted to remove RT and all its components? I have Vista Home Premium.

I uninstalled Rescue Time, after only one week, as I thought it was incompatible with my system.
I have now tried to reinstall but my e;mail address is not accepted as it is already registered, can this be overcome somehow?

So it's reported as an application and no site details. I usually have around 100 tabs open evenly distributed between "work", "home" and "personal" topics.

I keep getting these messages:

Error: ould not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\geelene\Local Settings\Application Data\RescueTime.com\logs\pending\rt_20080417-072213.yml'.
Checking current log file size

This happened both at work and at home. I found the config file user.config and tried changing 'logDirectory' to another folder. That seemed to work, but only until I restart the PC, then it's back to the old folder.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Edwin

Since yesterday I am using Firefox 3 Beta 5 for a webapp I have to work with. I switched to FF3 as it loads so much faster with that browser - i guess because the limit for connections increased.
Since the switch only a fraction of the time I spend in that app is recorded. I don't know if that is a problem with FF3 as I haven't used it for anything important up to now.
The app was recorded fine when I used IE6. It is an old-style webapp that updates pages by reloading them completely instead of doing smaller updates the AJAX-way. Therefore the url changes quite often - perhaps that in combination with FF3 throws rescuetime off track?

I've tried twice now and can't get a successful install. Running under WinXP, rescuetimestart.exe starts running at 100% and I can't make it stop. Exiting rescuetime.exe doesn't make it stop. Not even rebooting makes it stop. [insert your favorite monster movie reference here]

Any ideas?
