How about a free timer...Submitted by spalmer47 on November 14, 2005 - 5:45am.
How about a free timer program and a simple Applescript? I'm in favor of shutting down the applications you're using to procrastinate instead of turning off the Airport card because you can still read RSS feeds and email while offline. Here's a free timer program, set it to run your script when the timer reaches zero. Here's a simple Applescript complete with admonition. Fire up the script editor, cut and paste between the lines and save it as an application. You can add three more "tell" lines for each application, Mail, NNW, etc. display dialog the message buttons {"OK"} default button 1 tell application "Safari" » POSTED IN:
