Overview

What is an application that answers the question, “What is it you say you do around here?”

What is an application which isn’t much more than a big textarea for entering in what it is that you are currently working on.

Detail

When what starts up, it always loads $HOME/.doing into the textarea, and adds a time stamp. So an initial run might look like this,

03:41PM

You then usually supply a brief description of what you are doing,

03:41PM Editing What wiki home page to have some basic description of what What does.

To save type Control-S which also closes the application. I run the application out of cron every 30 minutes. At the end of the day I email my “Daily Did” to my immediate co-workers and manger. This keeps everybody in the loop.
