Nifty idea. I'm working on a tool in python to watch current window titles and computer activity, log to a file, then later use bayesian analysis for categorization.

It's a tool for myself to see how I'm spending time... or wasting it.
More along the lines of GTD/Personal Software Process, to gather metadata about my work habits.

Cool! High aiming idea.
You could then also scan your home directory recursively for which files have youngest timestamps and thus give an indication of which directories you've been working in.

Imagine then, the timesheet tracker mentioned about + a web service that "improves" the guess based on your computers usage stats.

A tall order but you should always reach for the stars, you might reach the moon.
