Step Away from the Computer: Take a Break with Workrave
Posted by Jason Dunn in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 07:00 PM
As many of you know, I've struggled with RSI problems throughout much of my computer-using life. While ART therapy has been a good solution for me, the ongoing process of stretching needs to be a part of the solution. If you're anything like me, once you start focusing on something, hours will pass before you even move a muscle or get up. So when I found Workrave, I wanted to pass it along - I plan on installing it and using it myself.
