# clock in application. I'm tired of counting.

# C.rb -- Time keeping script. 
# Call with no params to clock in/out
# Params:
#   ?       : are you clocked in? check
#   log     : peek at the work log
#   total   : how long have you worked? (hours)
#             optional " at rate <n>" displays billable
#             ex: c total at rate 25 #=> $539.53
#             sum for project at rate n
#   update  : update the app, optional 'force' argument
#   clear   : empties the log file 
# 
# Beta:
#   invoice at rate <n> : Makes a rudementary invoice at rate <n>

If the log file doesn't exist the script will fail with an error. I fixed that in my fork. I also replaced ? by ?? because I use ? as a global alias for | grep. Finally, I bumped the version to 0.79

There's now a dedicated repo at github.com/ArtemTitoulenko/C.rb. You should fork that and send a pull request. These are awesome addons.
