Unrelated: if you don't have a constantly displayed clock (because minimalism or, like me, laziness), you can put one in dmenu output. Here's my dmenu_run (same as vanilla except for a couple lines):

Code:

#!/bin/sh
cachedir=${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-"$HOME/.cache"}
if [ -d "$cachedir" ]; then
        cache=$cachedir/dmenu_run
else
        cache=$HOME/.dmenu_cache # if no xdg dir, fall back to dotfile in ~
fi
(
        IFS=:
        if stest -dqr -n "$cache" $PATH; then
                echo -e "$(date +"%m/%d %R")\n$(stest -flx $PATH | sort -u | tee $cache)" | dmenu "$@"
        else
                echo -e "$(date +"%m/%d %R")\n$(cat $cache)" | dmenu "$@"
                #dmenu "$@" < "$cache"
        fi
) | ${SHELL:-"/bin/sh"} &

More functionality for the same old shortcut! A friend of mine came up with it, but I use it all the time.

It doesnt sound like much, but the fact it auto arrange stuff is great to force you tidy your things, istead of spending time making mosaics.

I guess there is a little mistake in variable.
I modified it a bit to add the "continue" option to youtube-dl if the file is already retrieved:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
MUSDIR=~/Musique
/usr/bin/youtube-dl -x \
    --audio-format best \
    -q "${1}" \
    -c \
    -o "${MUSDIR}/%(title)s.%(ext)s" \
    --exec 'mpc add {}' ;

There is only one task elected as "current" at a given time, which is a symlink to the actuall task. When you create a different time, the timestamp is recorded in the file, and a keyword "now" is added to define when you finished it.
When you close a task "now" is replaced by the timestamp, and "[CLOSED]" is prepended to the subject.
You can list you tasks, or export them in csv form if you want to post-process them.

I'm not quite sure if it will help, but it does a good job at tracking time :)

If anyone is interested, I can post the script tomorrow.

It's pretty neat, light, and simple.

When a new task arrive, I push it on top, and it becomes my current task. When the top task is done, I "pop" it out, and the one below becomes the main one.
