Hello,
Anyone using a software timer to remind about taking punctual breaks ?
If so, which one ?
Cheers.

Not really for breaks, but for all timed events I use cron (or
whatever
clone/successor is running on my system). As a timer, for food etc., I
play an audiofile. If you were busy with audio, on a GUI, I suppose you
could try to pop up a big image, or if you don't need the microphone, a
few beep on the PC speaker, if you have one.
...
Best wishes,
Jeanette

OK, on the software side I found workrave, which works on Windows and
Linux and is quite simple. A slight problem with the modern KDE tray
icon as it does not interact, but it shows on the task bar and clicking
on it brings it up with the ability to then right-click and access
parameters.
I tried Kalarm but that bugger brings in a whole lot of totally
unneeded processes.
OTOH, if your wife/girlfriend is there EVERY hour for the recommended
health-break-while-working ... it might be a good or bad thing.
Depends.

I use a bash script. It's just a nested loop. One loop keeps track
of the time interval between breaks. The other loop pops up PDFs of
stretching routines to do during the breaks.
Cheerio...

Just to be different... I use cron to send text messages to my phone

I'd be a bit wary of resources. There's no direct access to time
functions in bash, always have to go through a high-level middleman.
The middleman would not get asked about time each fraction of a second,
but the bash loop to pace the asking could very well take some
noticeable CPU percentage. I guess to nice it down would be in order.

I've never needed a prompt. I've always found my own body clock tells me it's
time for a break. Also, the way my home is laid out, any break nearly always
involves a flight of stairs. I used to resent that at first, but now I
appreciate the benefits :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

I do stretch and do exercises otherwise but sitting at the computer is
like getting absorbed. I tend to bypass warnings too easily. Continue
on this, continue on that, take a break later... So I need a timer, if
only to show me for say a month or two that it's positive to take those
periodic little breaks (and stretch out a bit since only turning the
chair to stare at the wall won't do any good). Once I experienced it
for good, then it'll probably sink in.
