Hey, thanks for the catch.

yeah, the link is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/track-your-product...

db42··on Smart Guy Productivity Pitfalls
If anybody wants to try this approach to track productive time, I have built a chrome extension exactly for this purpose (couldn't find any tool doing this) - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/track-your-product...

You should definitely check it out.

db42··on Smart Guy Productivity Pitfalls
I wrote a simple time tracker (as a chrome extension) for myself. I was using it every day so, I published it on chrome store - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onnkllhiaannegcomg....

Along with the time, I found it useful to keep track of what I got done today. I have defined "4 hours" of actual productive time as goal of each day.

db42··on Smart Guy Productivity Pitfalls
I too wrote a simple time tracker (as a chrome extension) for myself and later published it on chrome store - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onnkllhiaannegcomg...

Now, I have defined "4 hours" of actual productive time as goal of each day.

Hi Derek, I can't describe how much motivated I feel everytime I read something similar to this. But I just can't convert this motivation into actual practice/habits. Any advice ?

That is a good point, that you have raised. But I wonder, why well established companies like microsoft, apple etc. are not doing this.

db42··on Stack Exchange CEO: "Nobody Wants To Find Yahoo Answers In Their Search Results"
What you are saying looks good for making an argument, but seriously, he is saying the truth to some extent.
db42··on Stack Exchange CEO: "Nobody Wants To Find Yahoo Answers In Their Search Results"
Though, a ceo should not make a comment like this, this is certainly true for me.
db42··on The Android Developers Union

To other more open, like .... iOS, Windows mobile?? And, please don't say Symbian and Maemo..

db42··on Google "not happy" with slow Android app sales
Even if google will not, someone(read amazon) is trying pretty hard :) http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/09/27/amazon-android-app-stor...
db42··on Please review my new application
Nice app. Since you are grouping tweets by username, you can remove that username from each individual tweet.
db42··on I'm sharing a little knowledge back to the community, your thoughts?
sure, go ahead with the blog.
db42··on Simple and fast file sharing with ge.tt
Even after seeing "Tell me more" flash, I don't think people will still be able to appreciate all your services. Maybe you can come up with some promotional videos on the line of 'google voice', 'google priority inbox'(i know, its all google, but they make their videos really good).
db42··on What would you do if you were CEO of Google?
Well, no one has talked about technologies related to distributed computing i.e. Mapreduce/Hadoop, BigTable/HBase/Cassandra etc. Google deserves the credit for developing these technologies in the first place. But Yahoo did the trick by providing open source implementations of these technologies. By providing them as open-source(may be first open-source product from yahoo),hadoop has quickly grown to what it is now in a very short span of time. Currently, almost all the big players in the web market are adopting these technologies for their use and, at the same time, contributing to these technologies. Facebook and twitter, both are now dependent on these tools. I know that internally Google may be far too ahead than the current distributed computing technologies available in the market. But google is just using them internally, they are not using them either to offer them directly or by offering some other service depending on these technologies. I think, google need to think in this direction.
db42··on What would you do if you were CEO of Google?
Wow, ideas here are much better and relevant to google compared to ideas on parent site.
db42··on Google, Facebook don’t innovate
Yeah, they were all developed by Google. I don't think you have any idea about these technologies. Do care to 'google' them.
