Description Nick Schermer editbugs 2007-05-09 06:59:34 CEST
It should be possible to add daily events to the time-out plugin. The plugin should also 'align' events before a daily break, so no short/long break in the last ~5 minutes before a scheduled event, this to minimize the work disruption.

The scheduled events should be easy to manage and also be weekday dependent.

Maybe it's better to not lock the screen on those events, but more a (slightly annoying) notification to tell the user he has to take a break. I think it's not needed to completely lock the computer since most people in a corporate environment only need a reminder so they don't miss dinner which is defined in their collective agreement ;).

Maybe it is possible to track the X usage while the user takes a break, so when a scheduled event starts, we monitor X until the user left (no keyboard/mouse events), for a maximum of 5 minutes. When within those 5 minutes the user stops typing/clicking the plugin waits until there is activity again. From that moment the plugin restart the long/short breaks.
This will prevent an annoying break when you return from lunch after, for example, 25 minutes.
