Workrave
Blogging has been a little slow this week, largely due to my kids deciding to stay awake until around eleven, which is rather unbeneficial when you still have to eat, pack your stuff and help keep the household in one piece before going to bed. Add to that feeding once or twice a night and getting up at five... Suffice it to say I've been a bit tired this week. But it's still totally worth it though, wouldn't change a thing.
Anyway, the focal point of this entry is a piece of software called Workrave. It's a software designed to remind you to take breaks. I use it to remeber streaching my arms and hands. The RSI problems I dealt with over the past year are now largely gone, but I sure as hell don't wish to repeat the same mistake twice!
Workrave is free as in beer (gratis) and free as in speach (free software.) Take a look! There's a nice Workrave PDF leaflet as well.
PS. Workrave also keeps some rather cool statistics of your work. Today I've moved my mouse 84 meters, clicked the mouse button 1546 times, and typed 7221 keystrokes... make that 7255, no... 7285, umm... You get the idea.
