Library to help you know which projects are getting a bit stale.
Sometimes it slowly creeps up on you that you haven’t done anything with X in a few weeks… or even months, and next thing you know getting started again seems somewhat hard. I am pretty prone to this kind of problem; I guess that part of my brain doesn’t work very well. So this is a simple attempt to factor that part of my brain out in to some code.
Sample output:
$FRIEND 475.0 hours
$BUDDY 256.6 hours
lj 235.0 hours
ol 191.9 hours
tumblr 167.6 hours
m0x65 94.6 hours
flickr 46.8 hours
twitter 24.3 hours
$GIG 22.0 hours
$PAL 1.1 hours
