LazyCure 3.6 - works under Linux!

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

Congratulate you with LazyCure 3.6 release! Here is what’s new in LazyCure 3.6:

  • LazyCure is working under Linux with Mono framework.
  • There is possibility to customize left click on tray icon - open LazyCure form or display list of resent activities.
  • Possibility to manage tasks via context menu, F2 hot key for task rename.
  • Info about current activity is shown when cursor is placed on tray icon.

There are also some improvements comparing with 3.5 version:

  • Switch activity on log off is made an optional feature, turned off by default.
  • Last activity logging when computer is shutting down. If you select in dialog box to log latest activity, main form will be active and when you enter activity name and press ‘Done!’, computer shutdowning continues.

Also couple of bugs were fixed:

  • At midnight new time log is created but is not switched.
  • An exception when linking activity with not selected task.
  • Efficiency is not auto-calculated when linked task is changed.

The great difference between previous version is that it is working under Mono framework and that is why available under Linux (tested under Ubuntu, really works!) and MacOS (not tested, but should work. If you have possibility to test this, please, drop a note in comments). Of course it is still working under .NET Framework under Windows.

LazyCure is available at Free Download page.

LazyCure 3.5 - twitter with your time

Monday, November 10th, 2008

I’m glad to announce LazyCure 3.5 release! This release brings additional enchancements, which makes time logging even simplier and faster. Here they are:

  • LazyCure could be minimized by pressing ‘ESC’ on main window.
  • Main window is opened in the same position as it was before closing LazyCure.
  • Minimize to tray on pressing ‘X’.
  • Activity is switched when computer is locked.
  • Button ‘Show Time Log’ added to ‘Efficiency’ tab.
  • Two different settings for number of activities showed in tray and number of activities in history.
  • After Ctrl-F12 program stays inactive if was visible before.

And thats not all! Welcome grand new feature - Post To Twitter! If you have an accound on Twitter.com and/or would like sometimes to share with your friends what you are doing or have just done - you will appreciate this. LazyCure could be configured in such a way, that after pressing ‘Done!’ button activity name will be posted to Twitter.

In order to activate Post to Twitter functionality, you have to following the following steps:

  1. Go to Options->Twitter, check on checkbox and specify your username/password.
  2. When you enter activity name on the main window, check ‘post to Twitter’ checkbox and press ‘Done!’
  3. Do something good for yourself - your activity is posted to Twitter :)

I have to say that you should use this feature just for fun - it is not necessary to notify the whole world about every your activity. So this feature is turned off by default. But as for me, I have it turned on, so if I would like to share my great achivements, I definitely click on checkbox before pressing ‘Done!’ ;).

By the way, you can follow me at Twitter.com/Scorpibear. Oh, and the latest LazyCure could be taken from LazyCure Free Download page.
