Where get darkroom timer (for timing PC use)
Am in the UK.
Where can I get an inexepensive darkroom timer? I want to use it for timing how long I spend at the PC! Freestanding. No mains supply. From zero: can START + STOP + CONTINUE (etc). RESET too. Preferably analogue. Preferably noisy! (I do NOT want anything which runs on a PC.) http://www.patersonphotographic.com/...ripletimer.jpg http://preview.tinyurl.com/29lyvm are not really clear enough. http://www.silverprint.co.uk/pics/Hanhart.jpg is too expensive at £65!

Just tried the PC USAGE TIMER, but does not seem to be working.
All dates logged are 2005, loads of them, and it's not tracking me. Hope the other software they sell on the site is better than that. Mikey ----------------------------------------------

To be fair, Asle replied to my suggestion and not the OP. And I had snipped that particular line for the sake of brevity.. He may not have even seen the OP. Although I could have asked why he seems to think that I should download this piece of daftware... -- Sue

Consider a decent analogue alarm chronograph watch. Most will do split timing (what you want) up to 24hrs total with accuracy often to 1/5 sec, with a 12 hr alarm. You can also extrapolate average time to complete a number of repetitive tasks, calculate average speeds with a tachymeter scale, and work out aircraft fuel consumption, distance travelled etc. if you get a very complicated one, which is a good idea because working out everything it can do and playing about with the buttons will inevitably mean you spend less time playing with the computer. However, on this point, the watch could come in useful for motor sport games and flight simulators. BTW, most darkroom timers nowadays are electronic with digital displays. The old analogue ones were pretty simple, just a 60 minute countdown timer which tinged a bell at the end of the set time. Car boot sales or eBay probably best for them.
