Pomodoro and KDE

Am no follower of the Pomodoro technique nor do I know its specifics but before you go ahead and try out those multiple Adobe AIR applications or use the GNOME-oriented Workrave, please try out this software called RSIBreak which was built for KDE specifically.

RSIBreak - Repetitive Strain Injury prevention software for KDE

It isn’t a full fledged timer feature but I think it will get your needs covered with its offerings easily enough. One of the amazing utilities I’ve used, built with KDE Libraries. It should be available in your Linux distribution’s software repository too.

There are certain things in the software world that may blow your mind up while you try to make sense of them but yet leave you as you were at the end. This software, Coccinelle, is one of those.

Perhaps Anomit can make use of it.

The TUIO specification is absolutely amazing. You can never get tired of working with the variety of software found on their page, its almost overwhelming!

If you’re bored of your single-point input already, do check these MT stuff out. Ignore if am too late and the train has already left ;)
