well known effective ergonomics asle - Periodically

Following this simple asle helps not only to maintain health, but
and significantly increase the fasitfulness of work. It is also clear that force the user to
Computer adhere to a strict regime of work at times simply impossible ...
What would a self-conscious person may be, there is always a fascinating work
or a game that force the user to remain motionless at the computer
many hours! Particularly worried by the fact that the computer user is
child ...
What we are able to help in this matter software?
If you look - there are program-Alarms, which would indicate that
it would be nice to take a break. However, enthusiastic person, which is sometimes
almost every user, just napominatelskogo window or sound
agree, is not enough. Then you need something radical.
This means there is - ChronoControl. Just want to note
that the help file that comes with "Time Patrol" has a comprehensive
data, for which I would look into the future.
And now for the program itself. "ChronoControl closely follows
the regime of the user and makes it timely to make small
breaks required for physical and psychological health. At the same time
program receives the most radical and effective way - on a break
program locks the monitor, keyboard and mouse. Practice shows that the strict
adherence of the leads not only to improve the health of the user,
but also helps to keep the tone of mind and greatly increase the fasitfulness
work! "
ChronoControl program exists in three forms: Lite (freeware),
Personal (49 grew. Rubles) and Guard (1999 grew. Rubles). Consider the work of Lite-Version
program. It is automatically loaded when Windows starts and continues
in the background.
ChronoControl Immediately after loading the Windows system tray appears
program icon - a red dial. If you hover the mouse cursor on it (without
clicks) in the tooltip will read: name, version, and modification programs, the time
remaining before the break, or the current state of the program. Double left click
click on the icon called Sleep mode (a simple screensaver with an invitation
press any button). Single right click in the same place opens
The main menu that lets you see the current settings of its work
and make all necessary settings.
ChronoControl remains in memory and does not manifest itself
(Not visible on the Ctrl + Alt + Del) until then, until the time comes to take a break
work. With regard to working hours and breaks the program has three modes
Hours: 25 min / 5 min, 50 min/10 min (default), 100 min/20 min. The free
version of the type of synchronization one: According to the exact time - intervals of
intervals and interasptions are strictly defined since the beginning of the new hours (so
mode 50/10 computer will be locked for 10 minutes past every hour,
ie from 50 to 00 minutes).
patrol vremeniTakzhe
Advanced settings are locked and the patronage levels (levels of restrictions and
rigidity of work) at Patrol Lite. From the minimum, normal and maximum
active for only the second - normal, which meansmoreavailability button
5 minutes. By pressing thereof, to the working time is added to 5 minutes, and operates
these things only once during the working period (in this case, the lock will last
from 55 to 05 minutes).
In three, two and one minute before the break ChronoControl alert
you of the impending suspension notice the appearance of the window. Thus, you are given
a great opportunity to once again save all your work files and to prepare
for a break.
Once a suitable break at the start, the program for 10 minutes
(Mode 50/10) will block your computer. During the blockade of the system can always be
learn the rest until its completion time, which is enough to click on any
key on the keyboard or mouse. Upon completion of the program will inform you break the sound
signal and go into standby mode user - now, rested and mustered
forces again at any moment we can continue!
As can be seen in the screenshot, in the settings tab has a sound
scheme, where you can customize the most suitable sound scheme: 1) the operation sound
warnings, when to break remains 3 and 2 minutes, 2) operation sound
warning 1 minute before the break, and 3) the sound of the early notification of
break; 4) sound at the end of the blockade.
If you occasionally have to work at night or sometimes
scoring off the day (eg, sleeping child), you can use
Mute function. If the option is checked activity monitoring, program
in the case of user inactivity formorethan 3 minutes, spit out the window waiting
user (screen saver).
And now, in order to explain inmoredetail the principle of the Patrol,
describe the program on my computer, in chronological order.
19-30. Booted Win98 ..., start up ChronoControl; look through
mail to TheBat `e;
19-47. At the moment the screen goes black, the center of the inscription: "... save, left
3 min + The sound is the "Order";
19-48. The same, but the words "... save, 2 minutes left" + sound in speakers
"Order";
19-49. Same message "... save, remained 1 minute" + sound in speakers
"What the ...?";
19-50. The screen is dark, the words "break 10 minutes ..." and, since all the sounds for the program
I tore out of the toy WormsWorldParty (worms), this time the unctuous voice
I said: 'Leave me alone. " As they say commanders: "At ease!" You can recover
and smoke ".
Further, within ten minutes on the dark screen flashes: "the system is blocked."
During a break, no harm to health will do a few exercises to
eyes, stretch your muscles and ventilate the room, thinking of the missed lunch and missed
dinner:).
19-55. Tyrkayu on the enter key - to monitor the message: "Break 5 minutes ...".
20-00. You hear the sound of "Hallelujah" (in the worms - the holy grenade), and the system goes
in standby mode - the inscription on a dark background reads: "Press any key".
1.20. Pochaevnichav, clicked the mouse and keep work.
By the way, if lucky enough to boot the system in 20 hours 53 minutes, can
relax: you'll have 7 minutes doing nothing:).
Now consider the differences between various versions of the program.
Personal-version ChronoControl. It is possible to choose
The second type of synchronization - By the time of launch. In contrast to the synchronization
the exact time when this type of synchronization ChronoControl starts counting
time from when you start your computer. More than that: after the interasption program
will wait for the user's activity and only after that a new count
interval. The settings available levels of protection, representing the three predefined
set of parameters responsible for the "rigidity" of Patrol: minimal,
maximum and normal levels. Another winner of this version of the program gets
"Priority technical support for individual e-mail".
Lucky, which will be incorporated Guard-modification
program, to all the above-described receive razblokirovannuyu Advanced tab
settings, which means that the password protection (ie you can record access
to change the advanced settings ChronoControl `a and break the blockade when entering
password) and configure any levels of patronage. There is an opportunity
set of restrictions: a ban on the uninstall ChronoControl, a ban on modified
Mode, synchronization type and Level patronage.
In the process of working with the program, there were several issues. Is it possible during the
blockade to control Winamp `om via hot keys? I have such manipulation
succeed (plugin installed Traylist for Winamp `a), that is music
You can listen to.
But what about while watching a movie? The certificate program is given
"Question to this response - by magic with the settings, but only for the Personal
and the Guard, that is paid modifications ChronoControl. There are written, that the Lite-program
these settings are not supported. I want to note: not supported by the
the program itself. Due to the fact that "the real heroes always go around", I dare
propose the following: asn any process manager (I worked CoolMem)
and there to kill Patrol.
And if you priperla to the wall of any problem that requires
20 minutes, and you are ready to sacrifice their health, here's another hint.
The program does not respond to manual correction of minutes of your date and time
system. But if you plan to cheat the program every time, thereby stealing
part of his health in itself, then whether it is worth to install this
and similar programs?
