So, being in the service industry, one has to keep track of time. In my case, when I'm programming, I have to keep track of how many hours something is taking, and be able to organize all of my tasks.

Coming from QuickBooks timer, I knew something better had to exist. I was getting ready to buckle down and build it in .NET if I had to. I searched for days to find something useful. I finally did.

ToDoList by Abstract Spoon has had everything I've needed so far. I can keep track of everything I'm doing in a hierarchical list (tasks and sub-tasks, or projects and tasks) and TIME everything. I can also add in comments for all items.

This keeps client invoicing accurate and simple. Plus, it's free. Can't fucking beat that.

I tried a few items that sort of did what I want, including a few web interfaces which I was weary of (my work is MY business), but ToDoList takes the cake.

Normally I wouldn't sponsor something like this, but I think they did a really great job. It has a lot of features (like list sharing) I'll hopefully never have to use, but it's awesome.

Lyon Bros. Enterprises, LLC is my brother's and mine business. We started it back in December in an attempt to head up our product-line officially. So far everything is going great. It's a web development company and our main focus is product development, though you wouldn't know it by looking at the number of client projects we've gotten in the past few weeks.

Seems like once we went official, all this great stuff started happening. We're going to be doing some big projects. Jeffrey is going to be in school full time and can't devote much time, so that leaves me. I'll be doing lots of work and making lots of money. Sounds good to me.

In all the glory, we forgot about our baby, beeets, which is still closed beta and waiting for love. We're planning on opening the doors and doing a marketing boom hopefully sometime this week. Exciting stuff.
