Procrastination Dash Timer

Hi folks,

time for some shameless self-promotion ;-)
Since I work on a couple of different machines at work and at home, I need a tool that I can have with me at each of those places and that is a bit less dorky than having a stopwatch next to the keyboard.

That's why I built my little timer-app. It's basically just a plain HTML-page with some Javascript in it. It alerts me when 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of breaktime are up and logs my progress throughout the day.
25+5 works for me, but the script is of course customizable for anyone's needs.
So I'd like to share the thing with you guys, because I guess somewhere out there there is somebody who might find this useful but also can't be bothered to do the work themselves.

See you around,
Marc
