Not sure the last time you used Bugzilla but you can currently track time, entering an estimated time and updating the actual time as you go.
You can also configure when you want to get emails based on what fields change and your relationship to the bug (Originator, Assignee, or watching).
Bugzilla is the only system that I have ever "liked" to work with. I have used several commercial systems as well as several large scale home grown systems over the last 20 years. All the others were slow and cumbersome and most are based on the belief that developers can't be trusted to update the bugs appropriately. This leads to way too many controls on the developer. Bugzilla on the other hand is much better about assuming that we want to do what is best and want a system to document our progress and help communicate among the team.
AT&T Cable came out to bury my cable which ran to about 5 drops in my house,
they simply cut the cable and ran it to a single room (to avoid digging under my
driveway). Calling support to get it fixed went something like:
Me: My cable was cut by your installers, I need someone to come out
and fix it.
ATT: Are your modem lights flashing?
Me: No - The cable was cut, I can see the end.
ATT: Can you power off the modem an start it back up?
Me: Yes I can but it doesn't matter the cable was cut!
ATT: Are you getting any channels on your TV?
Me: No, I'm holding the end of the cable now!!
ATT: I need to send you to a second level of support, please
hold....(20 min later)...
Me: My cable was cut by your installers, I need someone to come out
and fix it.
ATT_2: Are your modem lights flashing?
Me: No - The cable was cut, I can see the end.
ATT_2: Can you power off the modem an start it back up?
Me: Yes I can but it doesnt matter the cable was cut?
ATT_2: Are you getting any channels on your TV?
Me: No, I'm holding the end of the cable now!!
ATT_2: Do you have anything else between the cable and your TV?
Me: No, Everything was working until the guy cut the cable!!!
ATT_2: I need to send a technition out, please hold to set up an
appointment....
I believe I took the first AP CS exam in 1984 in Pascal. I don't remember all of the questions but one asked us to design a structure for handling a sparse matrix. I suspect they did not doc you much for syntax but were looking more at general structures.
I thought the test was extremely easy compared to the other AP exams (Biology, History, Chemistry etc...) even though I was essentially self taught and I believe I made a 5 (highest score). When I got to college the 100 level programming courses were all easy but I suspect that was because a lot of students had never used a computer before college.
An interesting history convergence, I was learning high school Pascal on an Apple II which compiled into Pcode. That never caught on until JAVA came out with the Java VM. (The style of cloths has just about come full circle too).
The military already uses all sorts of electronic mapping systems to do all the things being discussed. FBCB2 is a system mounted in many of the ground units vehicals. Newer aircraft have built in moving map systems but older ones are often suplimented by a laptop at the navigators station or a small tablet pc straped on the pilots knee. Here at Georgia Tech, we develop software for these systems (FalconView).
One problem wth strapping a kneeboard to you knee with wires running to it; if you eject you break your leg. This technowlegy could solve that.
