      <body>i knew of some good stuff but lost track of it. I was writing a script for a page that would have a flash timer on it. You choose the client, hit start and stop, write what you were doing and it logs it to a database.

i should get around to finishing that up one day.</body>

      <body>Go Media uses Quickbooks Pro to do all the accounting/invoicing.  

We also built our own proprietary software to track hours, manage projects, show proofs, and track communication between the designer and client.  You can see the public version here at www.gomedia.us/prooflab.php</body>
