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.
