I occasionally have to use TimeCamp, but I don’t like the web app. I definitely won’t be installing their desktop app, so I decided to build a TUI. It’s not going to be fully featured; it only works with the parts I need. Still, it’s a work in progress

One of my recurring dreams is a sort of LARP hotel/computer course set in the 70s. You'd be issued a badge and back story as an engineer whose company sent them to a course put on by an early computer company like DEC to familiarize you with a new platform like a PDP-11.
The level of role-play could be intense (everyone dressed and in character at all times) or casual (just the coursework and preso tech is era-appropriate).
Maybe everyone has a PiDP-11 or similar simulation machine.
