If Org mode can > do all that, then it is powerful indeed! I do exactly this right now. Check out the package 'pomodoro'. This is my startup code to make use of it.=20 (require 'pomodoro) (global-set-key (kbd "") 'pomodoro-start) (global-set-key (kbd "") 'pomodoro-stop) (global-set-key (kbd "") 'pomodoro-pause) (global-set-key (kbd "") 'pomodoro-resume) (fset 'pomodoro " [ ]") (pomodoro-add-to-mode-line) You customize within 'pomodoro' to set your timers and your sounds. I use a tea-kettle whistle to stop work and a factory whistle to start again. Plenty of sound files out there to choose from. --=20 Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i * Via Gnus/BBDB/Org/Emacs/Linux *
