• 16:18 UTC (new) (history) 2025-02-01 ketchup.el . . . . mbork – A few years ago I wrote tomato.el, which I’ve been using ever since on a daily basis. I was not always happy with it, though. The main issue I had with it is that the 25 minute intervals seemed a little bit too rigid. Oftentimes I heard a ding meaning that a tomato has just ended, and I take a short break, which disrupted my flow. Other times the short break became a bit longer and my productivity plunged. Also, it was not rare that I finished some task and saw that only, say, 18 minutes passed, so what do I do for the next 7 so that I don’t “lose” my tomato?

• 20:27 UTC (new) (history) 2025-01-13 A minor Org Clive improvement . . . . mbork – It’s been a while since I touched Org Clive, but I’m still using it. (Side note: after writing about a dozen articles on my Doctor Who weblog it went a bit dormant. I’m still thinking about it – in fact, even more than thinking, I’m slowly writing it – and I really do hope to come back to publishing there with some regularity. Stay tuned, and if you are interested, keep its RSS feed in your RSS reader.)
