Hmmm... I don't think any software _can_ realistically give you that
kind of information yet, but that's because I have no idea how one
would go about doing that by hand. I'm sure someone with a strong
background in data mining might be able to extract some kind of
pattern from, say, timeclock data, but I personally have no clue. =)
Collecting time data in Planner is easy with planner-timeclock; it's
interpreting it that's hard.

No prob. It works for me because I do practically everything in Emacs
anyway. <laugh> Besides, I hate using the mouse. 

We'd _love_ to have drag-and-drop hyperlinks from elsewhere. Does
anyone know how to go about doing that?
