I've been using RescueTime (http://www.rescuetime.com) for around three years now, which pulls data from all of my workstations as well as my phone, but it lacks the ability to handle soft skill logging like social encounters and dietary habits with the finesse that pcmonk is working towards. Right now, I use it to track things like how much time I spend in IDEs, in StackOverflow, Hacker News, etc.

For some previously unexamined reason, I am giddy about tools that enable me to surveil my own productivity and procrastination metrics, but feel slightly uneasy about trying to capture daily intangibles.

I'm not sure if I would want to know how much time I've spent with each of my friends; the analytical side of me excises and optimizes, and I worry how that might manifest in negative ways if I start to quantify friendships and phone calls.

Anyone identify unexpected truffles and/or landmines in the exploration of your personal logs?

Have any bad actors even been implicated in this kind of abuse?? It'd be interesting to try to automate honeypots to screen for this -- for each suspect site, unique credentials which are also reused on honeypot accounts on other major common target sites.
