This is a quick update to talk about the recently released OS X Widget for entering time into Hermes: Sandals. Sandals was checked into the Horde CVS repository last night and is now ready for use. Hermes, the Horde timetracking application, can be used to track time against a variety of projects, clients, and deliverables (including tickets and todos kept within Horde).
Hermes achieves this integration by taking advantage of Horde's excellent inter-application API functionality. Sandals takes advantage of Hermes using Horde's XML-RPC exposure of application APIs. While Sandals is a bit rough around the edges (especially when it comes to catching and displaying helpful error messages) it does work well and can be used out-of-the-box. Check it out by grabbing the latest CVS version of Hermes and look in the scripts/ directory for Sandals.wdgt.

In addition to Sandals I wanted to announce a recent Codelet upload. checkubc.rb is a Ruby script that will monitor OpenVZ virtual machines (either from the host or within the guest) and report when a container gets too close to its configured limits. It will additionally send an alert whenever a failcnt increases. Check out checkubc in the Codelets section of this website.
