London Project Prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and other GRD (geek related diseases)


In an article published in Betazeta Workrave I found a program aimed at preventing carpal tunnel syndrome and other conditions typical of those who spend much time in front of computers. Researching to write this post I discovered that Workrave is not the only program of its kind (free or proprietary), but as the one in the Ubuntu repositories, because I've installed and I'm very happy with it. In addition the program is in English and has a Windows version that works very well.

The program is constantly minimized from the system tray (near the clock) and is monitoring how long we have been working, and every so often reminds us that it is time to pause, rest your eyes and do some visual exercises and physical to avoid DRM (geek related diseases or as doctors call RSI (RSI))

Workrave presents a series of exercises and controlled the time we spend on this, according to the time that we working. The program designers describe it as subtle but insistent, referring to we can skip the rest, but every time we do the program gets a little pushy - for our own good. Everything in the program is designed to be very friendly and cause as little stress as possible when we are interrupted in our daily chores. And of course you can turn off when you do not want to be interrupted.

If they are interested in the idea, there is a PDF brochure in this direction may be useful before installing.

Amaya is a browser and web editor of the W3C, the World Wide Web Consortium organization dedicated to recommend new standards for the WWW. Its design is very similar to popular tools on the market as Kompozer and DreamWeaver.

This tool consists of a web browser and a tool for creating and editing web pages (HTML and XHTML CSS style sheets, MathML expressions, and SVG drawings). Incorporates the web browser for easy editing of pages online, an option that few web publishers have. Create e

images inserted in pages format Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), and basic shapes, text, images and foreignObject (the latter is useful to include HTML fragments or MathML expressions in drawings).

But we're getting too technical to describe a tool that shines in its simplicity of use, make a web page in Amaya is as simple as typing in a text editor.

is free software, available for Unix systems, Linux, Mac OS X, Windows and other platforms, there is a very good translation into English and the latest release is the 11, which was launched in 2008 supports HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 , XHTML Basic, XHTML 1.1, HTTP 1.1, MathML 2.0, many CSS 2 features, including support for SVG graphics (Supports simple vector drawings made in the same program.)

Let's face it, many of us leave the computer on while we eat, as we go to the bathroom and many other everyday situations. Of course we can not be turning on and off the machine only to save energy and save the planet from environmental crisis ...

What to do with this time where our computer is on and we're not using?

few years ago I use a program called BOINC (The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is a software Berkley University in California, licensed LPG, which was originally developed to support SETI @ home. SETI @ Home is a project (see post ) that for more than a decade has made millions of volunteer computers in a single mega-computer that constantly analyzes information gathered by radio telescopes around the world.

VERY COMPLICATED? The thing is simpler than it sounds: The Astronomers have to consider these signals would need a giant computer, terribly expensive ... Which of course can not afford. They divide the information into small packets that are analyzed by computers of volunteers (like me). Once my computer ends in analyzing the results sent back. All this happens without my account and the times when I'm not using my computer for over 3 minutes.

Of course with the success of SETI @ home project has developed new initiatives to work on BOINC and now you can find over 50 projects to collaborate.

BOINC runs on Windows, MacOS X, Linux and many other operating systems. I invite everyone to participate and collaborate on projects that can make the world a better place. For example, my computer was working all morning to find a cure for muscular dystrophy in a project helping the World Community Grid, who have several projects to find a cure for various diseases, including cancer and AIDS.
