I’ve had a quick go at upgrading ClockingIT to Ruby On Rails 2.1 and the most difficult snag I ran into was a has_and_belongs_to_many relation with a symbol as the join_table parameter which suddenly lacked the downcase method, and had to be changed to a string.

LI padding/margin in Internet Explorer
While reworking my HTML in ClockingIT to support TaskList reordering with Drag and Drop, I ended up with some strange padding around empty LI’s used to make sure a tasklist never ends up empty (to work around a dropOnEmpty problem with Prototype/Scriptaculous). After several hours of trying just about everything, it seems IE decides that [...]
Almost there…
We’ve been hard at work lately and we’ve implemented a new design which we’re both very happy with. I’ve also ripped out domTT and created my own tooltips implementation, as domTT was way overkill and created all kinds of problems with stuck tooltips. I’ve also changed the ajax working indicator into something I think gives [...]
RJS Templates and ClockingIT
I’m getting more and more into Ruby on Rails’ RJS Templates, and I’m really enjoying it so far. It’s so easy to make sweeping changes to the page after an ajax call, all genereated from Ruby code. This functionality allowed me to update the completion percent and time estimates on all affected TaskLists when you [...]

Looks pretty sweet, and works like a charm — although entering a time might be a bit too clickety. We’ll see how it all works out after it’s been used for a while. At least it looks way better [...]

TT => ClockingIT
My wife came up with a new name last week, and now we have the new domain and a new portal in place. Have a looksee at it here. Feel free to try it out as well, it’s free to use and there are no strings attached.
Over the weekend, I implemented commenting on tasks [...]
TimeTrack v0.92 – Easy and free Project Management / Time Tracking
We’re finally closing in on a ‘launchable’ version of my pet Project Manager / Time Tracker. I’ve cleaned up the look quite a bit, and implemented a frontpage design my wife came up with. It’s actually quite usable, and we’ve been using it to keep track of a few projects at work with quite a [...]
