Someone suggested the Pomodoro-technique on HN and I quickly threw together this page that is supposed to help me try Pomodoro out today.

Join my effort today and let me know if you like it!

Asking HN: Is there some app for linux or a mobile java app for this?

giu• 16 years ago

Linux: http://eyedeal.team88.org/node/86 (uses Workrave, http://www.workrave.org/)

Linux + Adobe Air: http://code.google.com/p/pomodairo/

I wrote a tiny little thing (61 sloc) with Shoes that is cross-platform. http://github.com/jroes/pomodoro

I didn't find anything nice for linux when I was looking for one a few days ago.

I ended up buying a docking station / stand for my ipod touch, and using the Pomodoro Timer from Navel Labs. I like having it on a seperate tiny screen so that I don't have to go hunting for the application whenever I want to see how much time is left, etc..

I like Timer Applet for Gnome.

meta-question: why do scrrr's comments appear as [dead] ?

scrrr2• 16 years ago

what do you mean?

Your comment, "Someone suggested the Pomodoro-technique on HN and I quickly threw together this page that is supposed to help me try Pomodoro out today..." is marked as [dead].

Seems strange to me too - it's the only [dead] comment of yours.

I've found Vitamin-R for OS X to be really nice also. http://www.publicspace.net/Vitamin-R/

I also wrote a .NET pomodoro timer. Should I release it?

Wow, it's a timer hardcoded to do 25 / 5 cycles. You know, I like the idea of purpose-built things, but come on...

Thanks, You've gotten me to try the pomodoro technique. We'll see how it goes. Probably write my own timer inside emacs though to fit my workflow better.
