We've just completed an update to LiveTimer, including the following improvements:

• Notes now display characters remaining - Most notes, such as those for time entries, can be up to 255 characters long. You can now easily tell how many characters you have left as you type.
• Fixed auto-saving of Timer's notes - In some browsers, including Fluid for the Mac and Safari on the iPhone, changes to the Timer's notes weren't properly saved when leaving the Time Entry page.
• Improved time zone detection - The process of retrieving your time zone from your browser has been made more robust.
• Improved handling of simultaneous browser sessions - LiveTimer now prevents you from overwriting your most recent changes to the Timer. This is especially important when using multiple browsers simultaneously, such as Safari on the iPhone and Safari on your desktop.
• Better parsing of times - "a" can be used to indicate "am" and "p" to indicate "pm" when typing times. For instance, the following times are all equivalent: 10:00pm = 10pm = 10:00p = 10p = 22:00 = 22.
• Google Chrome problems resolved - Even though we don't yet officially support Google's new browser, we have resolved the problems that have been reported to date. We're currently doing QA testing with Chrome ourselves, so please feel free to report problems if you're feeling brave and want to test LiveTimer on Chrome.

More refinements are coming very soon! Thanks to everyone for your patience as we continue to improve LiveTimer.
