Time Entry on iPhone

A few months ago the Razorfish IT team released the probably best iPhone app I have on my iPhone: Timeline.

Time entry has so far always been a huge pain in the a!@# at every company I’ve worked for, no matter whether Excel, automated versions, especially the horrid Oracle application we’re currently using — it’s slow, annoying, only behind the corporate firewall.

Timeline puts all that into my phone, search for the project, snap in the code, put in the hours, fill the rest of the week up with the placeholder entries and submit the entire thing at the end of the week.

The only downside is that it has to be manually installed by dragging it into iTunes — no updated via the store. Either way, major kudos to the Razorfish IT team, I finally have a totally easy way to report my time cards. They have my vote for any iPhone innovation award out there :-)

Some of the folks I work with obviously have way to much spare time on their hands:

Oracle buying Sun

Oracle just announced to buy Sun for a wee bit over $7b. I think this is a brilliant move, by far better than the previous offer by IBM.

On a side note, it is almost impossible to type on an iPhone on a moving train.
