Ten plus Two Times Five
hernick | Nov 3 2005
Today, I read Procrastination hack: ?(10+2)*5?. I liked the concept! But syncing myself to a alarm? Urgh. Painful stuff. I hate buzzers. So I invoked the power of Open Source: I fired up Hydrogen, a drum machine. I laid down 12 minutes of beats; the beats synchronise you to the hack. I call it Ten Plus Two - Version One. Download it. Play it in a loop. The beat track itself is a hack. And if you people like it, I'll make a better one. Hell, I'll make a better one anyway. Why? It works for me! Discuss. 19 Comments

This is a great idea. I think I'd like to have something more melodic. Perhaps I can create an Applescript for iTunes that would allow me to randomly start a song from a "work playlist", which plays that for 10 minutes and then switches to a "play playlist" for 2 minutes. Using an external program, I might be able to run the script for work or play mode with a hotkey, that would help Steve's early finishing situation. Anyone else interested? » POSTED IN:
