How Do You Punch In?
grantedparole asks: "My company is planning to switch from an antiquated punch card time clock to a software based time clock, and a recent search on Google yielded many results. Searching on Freshmeat for 'timeclock' yielded two results, both of which do not appear to have any recent updates. Searching for 'time clock' returned more results, but all of those seem geared towards project management, rather than real world time keeping for many employees who don't work on projects (ie: sales people). What are the people on Slashdot using and is it running on *nix?"
Oh, and give them root access too.
Chain your employees to their work stations.
That way you know where they are at all times.
It's also easier to get them to work overtime with no notice.

The tagreader by the front door just scans the RFID implant in the back of my neck every time I walk by! Ahhh, freedom...
Why would a field that seems to be defined by unpaid overtime need timeclocks?
Really, it doesn't matter. The only use I see is if you're using it to find out which of your employees aren't smart enough to figure out how to forge, fake, and abuse the system.
No Zen is good zen
before some gammar nazi points it out, yes i made a goof. That last sentence should be "Like when their work doesn't get done...
You made an error. Your last sentence should have been, " As when their work doesn't get done."
Please report for flogging immediately.
Opinions on the Twiddler2 hand-held keyboard?
Well, generally I come in at least twenty minutes late, I sneak in through the backdoor so Lumberg won't see me, then for the next hour I just kinda space out.
Q: Space out?
A: Yeah, I just kinda stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working... I'd say in a given week I do about, oh, 15 minutes of real, actual work.
