GNOME time tracker (gtt)

The GNOME time tracker allows you to easily figure out how much time you allocate to various projects. You can start the GNOME time tracker from the panel or by typing

$ gtt &

The time tracker is well documented, and its manual can be found with the GNOME help browser, so here I will simply show three screenshots of how the time tracker starts up (Figure 2-23), how you can add a new project (Figure 2-24) and what it looks like when you have two projects going (Figure 2-25). If you stop working on one project and start working on another one, just do a simple mouse click (with the left button) on the new project.

GNOME calculator (gcalc)

GNOME also comes with a simple calculator; a screen shot is in Figure 2-27.
