Segment timer
(c) Mark K Cowan, mark@battlesnake.co.uk
Compile with Delphi / Freepascal / Lazarus on WINDOWS
Alerts you at fixed intervals.
To aid with time management and multitasking, some people (strangely, arty types)
like to take a very computer-science approach to their work, by timeslicing the day
into fixed chunks and working on a different project in each chunk, much like a
typical multi-tasking operating system. The main difference is that they generally
refuse to work on the same task in two consecutive timeslices.
Notification types:
* Flash scroll-lock
* Annoying beep
* Shaking dialog
Optional command line / shortcut parameters (e.g. in yout Startup folder):
Segtimer.exe <slice> <notifications>
* <slice> = time in minutes before alerst
* notifications = subset of letters from "FBP", with no spaces between
- F = flashing scroll-lock
- B = beep
- P = popup
e.g. my Segtimer shortcut in Startup uses the following command line:
Segtimer.exe 40 FB
Tray-icon commands:
* Left-double-click = Restart the timer
* Right-double-click = Quit segtimer
* Middle-click = Show configuration dialog (allows you to change interval & notifications)
