A couple of cool utilities I found

[dillinger]

Just thought I should share this couple of very useful utilities I found today:

-Workrave : Nice utility to alert you when you should take a break from the computer.I recently started getting some back pains and a bit of swimming helped.I´m gonna use this program to alert me when I should take a break too.

-IECapt and ScreenGrab : A small program and a firefox plugin respectively.Both are great for taking those screenshots of website pages without scrolling the window.

Hope I helped someone!

Workrave is really good. USe it as soon as you notice any signs of RSI (tingling, needles, etc..) .. Actually, use it NOW to prevent RSI.

You do NOT want any RSI or related stuff. Trust me, I know what I am talking about.

YOu can actually kill off that limit.

Not recommended if you are suffering from RSI, but if you are using this for prevention, it should be OK.

Hehehe I turned that off , of course.
I only have alerts for a 5min break every hour and 10sec mini-break every 15 minutes.
I just get up grab a glass of water, look out the window and zone out for 5 minutes.
