timer
(Golden Egg)
An online break reminder. Basically it will bug you to take a break every 30 minutes (you can configure the time interval). If you're not ready to take a break yet, you can snooze for 5 minutes (again, you can configure this time interval), after which it will bug you again. Go away, rest your eyes, and when you come back, hit the big Restart button -- this will reset the clock back to 30 minutes. Example: timer 45
