One less VB app

Sanity prevailed at work this week when a clunky looking VB timesheet application was finally replaced with a slick web interface. I think we were the last company on the planet not to use a web interface for timesheets.

Between OpenOffice and the new time reporting interface, I have even less reason to use my Windows box. :)


Timesheets

I guess we are only company who use CSV + CVS as a storage format for timesheets and a couple of Perl modules to query them and publish on TWiki :)

We used to be a big user of the timing app you got with quickbooks and now we've got an in-house c# desktop app to act as big brother.

some web interfaces are more equal than others

[Because of this change] I have even less reason to use my Windows box. :)

My work is (trying) to replace its current timesheeting systems with a single web-based timesheeting system. Niggle is that it's based on Oracle forms and is a bit clunky. Big problem (to me) is that although it's web based, it uses sufficient JavaScript that it doesn't work on anything other than recent IE. So not only can't I use it on my Linux desktop, but the very old work Windows 95 box that I also have fails to grok it correctly. And I thought that people realised the consequences of using non-inclusive JavaScript
