Procrastination Dash Timer

Hi folks,

time for some shameless self-promotion ;-)
Since I work on a couple of different machines at work and at home, I need a tool that I can have with me at each of those places and that is a bit less dorky than having a stopwatch next to the keyboard.

That's why I built my little timer-app. It's basically just a plain HTML-page with some Javascript in it. It alerts me when 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of breaktime are up and logs my progress throughout the day.
25+5 works for me, but the script is of course customizable for anyone's needs.
So I'd like to share the thing with you guys, because I guess somewhere out there there is somebody who might find this useful but also can't be bothered to do the work themselves.

Grab it here! (27 KB)

See you around,
Marc
