Is anybody using beeminder? I think Nick gave up on linking it to Skritter for general users. I'm just looking for a little extra motivation in the new year to spend more time on Skritter, and also getting more interested in the "quantified self" approach.

It's a great idea, even without automatic linking. For reference, a Beeminder + Skritter combo might look like this:

or this:

Is there a way to enable automatic linking?

I wrote some one-off code to set it up, but I'd need to do some work to make it automatic, and it seems pretty niche from past forum interest.

Nick,
So the first illustration is for a goal of time studied, and the second is quantity learned, correct? I guess both of those are easily read off the progress charts in Skritter.

I have the beeminder app on my iPhone now. My goal is of the "do more" variety, which I guess is the right one for time studied, but I'm not sure if I should be inputting cumulative numbers of daily values when I get prompted by the beeminder bot's email.

I got an answer from Beeminder to a query, which I am sharing here as it illustrates how Beeminder can be used to log Skritter time:
" you selected a "do more" goal when you set
it up (which is probably what you want for this type of goal), which
means that Beeminder is doing the math for you and summing up the data
points. You enter the amount you did each day, and if you do multiple
sessions you can even enter multiple data points for each day.
Beeminder plots the running total along the y-axis.

For example, if i did a 10 minute session on the 3rd, and then today
on the 4th i did 35 minutes in the morning, and another 15 before bed,
my data might look like this:

3 10
4 35
4 15 "got another few minutes in before bed"

OMG, nick, how many goals you have!
BTW, this is mine:
