| Listi started out of a simple problem I had in my second job at a company called ACT, Advanced Computer Technologies. We were a consulting firm working for Chemical Bank, now Chase at the time and we had to track how much time we spent via status report. I would work many hours but not remember exactly what I did. Version 1 was using a time planner calendar and would write down time I spent in it. Version 2 I wanted to use a file, like a notepad and would write the start time and what I was working on Version 3 I automated the timestamp and just added text via some sort of bat file Version 4 I started writing code in Foxpro to track my time, and generate a weekly status report. I realised that I could combine a to-do list with time-tracking. Create your to-do list and select what to do while tracking your time. Version 5 VB I got a new software product Visual Basic so I tried to implement the same code there. I found that lists and sub-lists were interesting and adding a comment to the list could say what a list was about, calling this a comment or memo field. One function that was needed was missed tasks. Also added alarms, timers, travel time and prep time version 6 Listi in 2010ish I learned about HTML and ASP which is a web form of VB and built out listi.net to support the same process. version 7 Time-creator spreadsheets, numerous attempts at spreadsheets to make the to-do list and time tracking a reality version 7 Time-creator was a Javasript, Ajax technology to learn, stuff and track time Version 9 I added tables to listi and code to help writing books called booksticle. |
