If you're using AI day-to-day, you can now securely share your TallyHo time-tracking data with it. Create invoices, reports, graphics... whatever you fancy.

Stoked to work on this one-pager for Vera Ellen - one of my all-time-fave NZ artists. Yay!

25 years in the making. TallyHo started as a messy PHP time tracker in 1999 and is now a simple, frictionless app that actually makes tracking time easy.

@RavenKwok This is so satisfying.

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

TallyHo has grown up and moved to https://t.co/72XfIrLn2L - Seriously smooth time tracking for contractors and freelancers.

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

Really happy with progress on TallyHo, the time-tracker I started a few weeks back.

If you're looking for a simplified way to keep track of hours you work as a freelancer, give it a go. It's up on Github.

Your side hustle isn't just extra income – it's your ticket out. But only if you treat it like the business it's meant to become.

It's all happening in the browser!

A cute little browser tab revolution - how pinned tabs give me instant access to TallyHo and other essentials without the hassle.

I'd love to know if you're using browser pins, and if so, what?

I've started writing again! And drawing! That prickly kina/sea urchin is me!

Yo! Curious on thoughts on Progressive Web Apps vs App Store?

I'm a fan of PWAs, you get the app-like experience without App Store downsides. As a solo developer, that frees me up to focus on what matters: building better features and adding in polish.

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

I made a time-tracking app for myself, and I think it's pretty useful, so now I want freelancers everywhere to give it a try.

@DylanReeve Used Storypark when daughter was preschool, and it was great. Using Seesaw now and it’s just so sooo bad. I hate it.
Seesaw, be more like Storypark.

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

@XTOTL @NZonAir Yep, when choosing fonts for NZ brands I always check macrons. Previously worked a lot with Traditional and Simplified Chinese fonts, missing characters would appear as '🅇' and they became known as 'tofu'. Google's Noto (No-Tofu) series is a result of that

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

@SetraHosting Correct, no limits before. Thanks but I've already got a VPS sorted now.

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

Email from @mediatemple: You're receiving this notice because you currently have 1,237,314 files, which exceeds the limit of 250,000 by 987,314.
Failure to reduce the file count ... will result in your instance being upgraded [and price increasing threefold]

End of an era!

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

@XTOTL I still have stack of those CDs that I haven’t been able to sell on behalf of SSM. Holding out for the CD revival.

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

@burgerito Thanks brother!

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

What have I got myself into? Client wants me to fix his slow Wordpress site. Upon investigation it's 600GB, with more than 1.4 million files. MySQL DB is another 1.5GB. Jesus.

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

@kerim @drobo I love my Synology! They do way more than just store files, so definitely check out all the different uses and then let that guide your decision (i.e. don't buy a low-spec one, like I did)

[Steve Leggat @sleggat]

@burgerito Lots and lots of photos, all full resolution, and then all the duplicates in different sizes that WP creates.

I started downloading the site last week and I'm just over half way.
