Ok, so I'm running an extension in Chrome called Time Tracker - it's some dead basic thing which tells you how long you've spent on various websites, and presents that information like this;

[URL= http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx157/fortunateson09/ScreenShot2013-10-24at181901_zps528aed02.pn g" target="_blank">http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx157/fortunateson09/ScreenShot2013-10-24at181901_zps528aed02.pn g"/> [/IMG][/URL]

What I'm trying to do is get hold of that information in a format where I can use it to do things with Processing and Arduino.
I'm thinking it must be stored somewhere as a text file (although maybe not?) - my question to you is where might I find said text file on my Mac?

As you may be able to tell I'm not particularly clued up in this area...
Any help gratefully received.

Cheers.

Don't think it'll be stored anywhere, just generated on the fly in the browsers cache. I installed the plugin and had a look, there's a log file with nonsense in it, and that's about it.

If you right click on the plugin you can inspect element and get the source code. it's in a HTML table, and there must be an easy way of taking that into Excel or similar? A quick Google (without reading any results) looked promising 🙂

In fact, if you just do CMD+A and copy and paste into Excel, seems to format nicely.

I might have a very good use for this, ta very much 🙂

[edit] and having read your post again, you probably want the live data? Ignore me then, I'll get back in my hole.
