I've suffered from mild carpal tunnel syndrome for several years (worse in the warm weather when the soft tissue in my wrists swells or when I get carried away and ignore my wrists telling me to stop typing). I tackled the problem in typical programmer fashion by writing some software. Watch knows when you've been typing or mousing long enough and blanks the screen to make you go do something else for a few minutes. The current state of the tool is at SF: http://sourceforge.net/projects/watch/ You'll need Python with Tk, but it should run reasonably well on Windows, Mac OSX (Tcl/Tk Aqua and a framework build of Python required), Solaris and Linux. On Windows and Mac it can't directly track keypresses, but I have a little chunk of XEmacs code that will jiggle the mouse enough to trigger the mouse motion sensor (I assume most people on this list do most of their typing inside XEmacs, so lack of true keypress info is probably not a major shortcoming). It has a server mode as well so if you have multiple computers you can start it on one (it will create a server automatically), then start it on the others telling them where to find the server. That way you can't cheat and just start typing on your Windows machine when your Linux machine's screen blanks. ;-) Use it in good health. (Don't view the code as an example of my best work.) I welcome feedback and questions. -- Skip Montanaro skip(a)mojam.com http://www.mojam.com/
