Wow, it's a timer hardcoded to do 25 / 5 cycles. You know, I like the idea of purpose-built things, but come on...

This is a pretty neat idea. I get it now.

Thanks, You've gotten me to try the pomodoro technique. We'll see how it goes. Probably write my own timer inside emacs though to fit my workflow better.

I use this http://www.focusboosterapp.com/ stops me from spending hours in email.

I've found Vitamin-R for OS X to be really nice also. http://www.publicspace.net/Vitamin-R/

Asking HN: Is there some app for linux or a mobile java app for this?

[giu → dan_netwalker]

Linux: http://eyedeal.team88.org/node/86 (uses Workrave, http://www.workrave.org/)

Linux + Adobe Air: http://code.google.com/p/pomodairo/

I didn't find anything nice for linux when I was looking for one a few days ago.

I ended up buying a docking station / stand for my ipod touch, and using the Pomodoro Timer from Navel Labs. I like having it on a seperate tiny screen so that I don't have to go hunting for the application whenever I want to see how much time is left, etc..

I wrote a tiny little thing (61 sloc) with Shoes that is cross-platform. http://github.com/jroes/pomodoro

I like Timer Applet for Gnome.

meta-question: why do scrrr's comments appear as [dead] ?

[scrrr → lkozma]

what do you mean?

[davidw → scrrr]

Your comment, "Someone suggested the Pomodoro-technique on HN and I quickly threw together this page that is supposed to help me try Pomodoro out today..." is marked as [dead].

Seems strange to me too - it's the only [dead] comment of yours.

I also wrote a .NET pomodoro timer. Should I release it?
