Simple Computer Timer?

[katzdvd]

I'm going thru this with my son right now - No comment

[drfsupercenter]

I used to be on all day... and my grades were the same as now.

all day before was too long limited time now and no grade improvement

Hmm, those links didn't seem like what I need... I need it to display times too, not just a total.

Anyone here know C++ or something?

Then do the search.

Hmmm you don't want to show them Event Viewer? Ya must be sneaking in more time than your supposed to have.

When I had to check when the kids were on, and where they went, I'd use Windows Explorer, Search by time.

Good thing my parents don't know you guys

And duh, I'm on more... what do you expect me to do all day?!

[Gary D]

@jm, I don't REALLY want an accurate timer

@soup, I'll check those out.

@LT, yeah I know, it's just because they want me to have all A's, and I don't, but I don't see why they don't get that my computer time is totally unrelated to my grades.

So going back to you picking some computer courses, just tell your parents that you are getting a "head start" on next year's computer classes!

[drfsupercenter]

Haha LOL, I should do that.

For a young kid, surely not spend all day on a computer

Sounds like time to put the puter back in the sun room and it also sounds like it may be in your bedroom or another room they can't see ya in. Hmmmm I'd get a laptop and only give it to you when you were supposed to have it 1.5 hours a day

[drfsupercenter]

That's what they do.

Unfortunately, I have a wireless keyboard and mouse... they just snatch them away. Time for a wired set?

And heh, I am gonna get a job this summer so I can earn some money, originally I was thinking Krogers but someone brought about Best Buy, you think they hire 16 year olds?

[Gary D]

That's what they do.

In Canada we have Future Shop (a subsidiary of Best Buy IIRC)

You could teach those idiots a thing or 3 ALL day long.

Locally, they have no clue about media quality, bitsetting, etc. etc. They are there to sell product NOT to know why or how.

I was at FS when they had DL Verb for 20 for $25 on sale. The guy behind me comes up with DL Memorex to the check out till. I asked him why he wanted those and he said that the clerk told him they were the best. A quick 2 minute lesson and he went and got the DL verbs.

LOL But see, that takes effort.

Right now I'm using paper.

And I haven't done anything, that's the problem. When my report card came in, I had 3 B's and 3 A's, so my parents took my computer away period. After she saw I had A's in the classes I had B's in before, she gave it back, but only for an hour and half a day.

Plus, adding times off paper takes effort, and say, I might forget to start it once or twice?

Holy Cow Danny,

What do they want ALL A's? That isn't even always possible.

Being a parent if I really want to time my son on play time I would just watch him more close. Like his computer or PS2 I just pull the plug after a certain amount of time if he over does it with either or the 2.

[drfsupercenter]

Yeah, I showed the employees at Micro Center (computer store) that printout of media IDs, and he shook my hand like "you should work here someday" LOL

But they don't hire until you're 18, I need someplace that hires at 16.
