Relieve eye and body stress

[Cybergon]

Hey people, just thought I'd share this simple script I've been using and tweaking for a while.

Let it run in the background, it will remind you every 20 minutes via a 3 second message box to look outside and relax your eyes, every 30 minutes to moist them by blinking, and every hour to get up and stretch. If there's a fullscreen application running, it'll make 1,2 or 3 beeping sounds respectively for each cycle. Also the box doesn't show up until after 2 seconds of inactivity, a little something I threw in there to make it a bit less annoying. I use it all the time so since I don't close it I don't need the system tray icon, but if you want you can remove the third line. So without further ado, here it is:

rest.rar

I included the source plus a compile, the WinAPIEx UDF by Yashied, the AnyKey UDF by Maffe811 (genius I tell you), the beep sound files (they sound like those old casio wristwatches, you can change them), and a little stretch sheet taken from the book "Stretching" by Bob Anderson.

It's nothing special really, but I hope it helps!

Enjoy and take care!
