Three years ago, I started working on wtr(1) (Work Time Recorder), a time tracking system that complies with my intolerance to toil but allows me to track the time spent on projects for work (as one would expect) and for fun (as one might not have expected).

Hi! I'm Romain Tartière and you're currently browsing the sub-part of the Internet where I introduce myself and host a few projects.
