[O] Re: Something like 'org-clock-in-at-time'?

[John Hendy]

Just wanted to bump this as it's almost been a month. Even feedback as
to whether or not this is feasible would be appreciated. If it's not,
or it is but just won't happen, I'll resolve to keep clocking in,
immediately clocking out, and then futzing with the times by hand.


Thanks,
John
