Along similar lines, how about running a process on a computer near where you dwell at work which watches for your mobile phone's bluetooth ID. Recording when your phone enters/exits its range will sample the time you are physically present. If you roam around at work you will need to remember to visit the BT range at the start and at the end of your day in order to get a full measure. And, you'll need to process the samples to pull out the earliest/latest times to calculate the time present. This post-processing can emit Org text or whatever format you want. Looking at what bluetooth stuff is available on Ubuntu, "bluemon" seems perfect for the heavy lifting. Your OS may vary. There are also Android apps that do this kind of locating directly using GPS/WiFi location and uploading the results to google drive or similar. However, I've never managed to find one which I can make work reliably. =2DBrett. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJXI3TmAAoJEFsAceCXpRtH9gEP/im1mswE44E8DNNni8Cv0t7s QstPUmA8ItDCJ6nKovkCnxiWdFUYSJG0up6NS7bqoiHMGWhRDf9CfTVSP1rYViUM bRhBxi+/RQ4PlfnRn4WPtFBbD+W4l34z+y9Q3lWlfBecctctfdKmagbHOFe7+kUo BYjcxMzxxGVK2PeCvS3Ha/d2V5XIWTh/14PFlJi6MrxjJKR6g6NH8dYHiIPXFd0B 8Rj1luo07JQQLJ/wlOqqpKG7wxvZc4S0Ed5iMQY0ZaVyOLjXVmV7nuEcYx8gGm/w s05+XelqYU3rSYNOm7T3euWOl6wIKvCkkcKr74pUrFku7fpPaMZZC9ybJM5k46do IhPx/vpomAaBVHT4/N+tY4sl6FgiRxhZSjhUo1oW6sSVOhrFPi3+f0HOpECcnhF0 SCYVgVlel9sEKskrHgEPXvAceSOEuBUhR9ShRSuA/+TwbhvFbNXFgK7AcbipRwLk mANZKcNYX/HlNQr25A3vCBMJsZ/Sif1GIiMczSJADZRZC8eCwLeZBtWszpdZbK24 LisThxsCCybBmBKlGH5BqEfUgFFUPMBSF+VpHKo+85f87IiOZt2fX9/ObogI9HK3 u3pecs8/egLdPjXRQnvnhXncQlkwxx64ax4YrHEbSaKPwYTFm64E7mWKoDYjSxYS NXlARjDTd9uMTSt6pH7u =DC4Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
