http://www.makeuseof.com – Force yourself to take a break. That’s the idea behind DrWright, a Linux program that will not only tell you it’s time for a break but actually stop you from using your computer until your break time is over. Force yourself to get up, walk around and briefly do something that does not involve staring at a screen. If you’re reading this article you probably spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Computers are necessary for work and also a lot of fun, but it’s important to stop from time to time and take a break. Get up, stretch, grab something to drink – it doesn’t matter (General)

Since Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric, the typing break has gone away from “System Settings -> Keyboard”. It’s been split out into an app called DrWright. This tutorial shows how to install DrWright and re-enable typing break in Ubuntu 12.04 & 11.10. Install Drwright and enable Typing Break:

Linux: We've discussed several apps for Windows and a few others for Mac that remind you to take breaks periodically, but Linux users need some love too, and DrWright, a free, open-source utility that locks your system periodically so you take a break, gets the job done.

Various health reports indicate that sitting for too long working on the computer is not good for health. I need an app that can tell me to take a break, for example once every hour of continuous work.

It would be optimal if it can automatically detect how long it has been since my display was last unlocked or logged in and count from that time.

I've seen this posted before in many of the "4.1.2" threads, but the info is likely to get buried in there, and since I have personally experienced this myself with my GNex, I figured I'd post this in a new thread.

The method of force stopping/clearing the data of Framework Services in the All Apps list to force any OTA to download will cause you a lot of headaches after the update.

Pandora force close 31 weeks 3 days ago

I'm on CNA 3.6.6 and I am getting a force close every time I open Pandora. It started out force closing the first time I opened it and then working the second time. I cleared the app data and it worked great but the next day it started force closing every time. I'm not sure if it's a rom problem or just with Pandora. Anyone else seeing this?

The title says it all! Well not technically. . .

I have in my possession 2, yes 2 functional touch screen laptops that are several years old. (I also have an Asus G74sx for everything else)

I am on spring break and want to do something fun/creative with the computers. They can't run windows anymore, but they work quite well with Ubuntu (i am probably going to down grade to Xubuntu tonight).
