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

I was going to write a little timer program, but came across this thread. Listening to the MP3 now. I'm not convinced. It was ok for about the first minute, then I kept thinking... I didn't manage to get anything done. Like the idea of doing some sort of random playlist thing. 10 minutes of something then 2 minutes of something else. Rollasoc » POSTED IN:
