idea C/C++ programmers

elo,
i have a idea 8O.
lately i been doing big projects, and cos i charge by the hour as do many of us, we all need a counter/timer which works like a stopwatch, but it has a extra feature, you can define a project with a name. then every time you click "go/start" it will start counting the time in secs(should ask you what project you are working on), when you take a break or call it a day, you can click "stop" and close the watch, it should save the current number of secs worked in a database base (text files maybe...thats flatfile database :P).

this is just like having 20 diffrenet stop watchs.

anyone feel up to it? it can be done with php ofcourse, but i dont really want to have another ie window opend just for this :?, and there is a good chance i will forget to start it, this program can sit in the task bar so you dont forgot it :D.

i know this is not a very good description of the program but you should get the idea, if not post here and i'll try to expline more.

thanks

I'm pretty sure there is already this application developed. Personally I do use PHProject to manage my projects, but it's complete multi-user project manager, not just a timer.
