How Web TimeLog works

When Web TimeLog is installed, it resides on the system tray portion of the task bar. It constantly monitors your dial up networking  and detects when you log on to the internet. When it detects a logon, it starts to monitor the duration of the connection to the nearest second. When you log off properly from your ISP, it records the date, log on time, log off time, duration and the connection name used. This is accurate to one second.

Web TimeLog also has an alarm function that allows a period to be set after which  the alarm would go off. This might be helpful when a user would want to be reminded  that a preset period has elapsed after a connection has started.

 When online, in addition to monitoring on line duration, Web TimeLog makes sure it constantly updates the log-off time to the nearest last three minutes. This is recorded on disk periodically. Lets call this the rough log-off times. The reason for this is that if the computer hangs for some reason while you are still on-line, and you couldn't log off properly, you would still have your last session recorded on disk to an accuracy of three minutes.
