OOS, RSI, CTS... - These acronyms all hurt you, and can kill your career in these wired times.
Repetitive strain injury, Occupational overuse syndrome, and Carpal tunnel syndrome are all faces of the same malaise. In layman's terms, if you use something too much, you'll damage it.
For those on the coal face of the IT industry, it's endemic, and can mean losing a career when typing becomes too painful to sustain...
What can you do?
A good typing technique makes a huge difference. Touch typing is recommended, and you should use two hands to use a shift or control key combo. I switched to the Dvorak keyboard a while back, both to reduce finger movement, and force myself to touch type.
It is a big help to take frequent 'microbreaks' every 5-15 minutes from what you are doing, move around, stretch, and give blood a chance to flow around the place. You should move your arms away from the keyboard and mouse, focus your eyes to some distant point, and relax.
I wrote this program because I always get too involved in what I am working on to remember to take regular breaks (hours can pass before I remember that I should eat, or go to the toilet...). However, I found every reminder program I tried to be too frustrating and/or intrusive to use for long.
What does the program do?
Every 10 minutes (or whatever you set it to) the program will play a sound to remind you to have a stretch. I use a large archive of sound bites from movies and TV (www.tidalwavs.com is good) - the program picks one at random as the reminder each time to keep it interesting.
The important thing is that this is not intrusive, it does not slow me down, and it works. I resent those programs that measure how much you have moved your mouse, or used your keyboard. All that expends resources that my PC and I could better use elsewhere. SoundBreak just sleeps until it is needed.

ReFiT-Analyzer helps programmers to get an overview about the components of a programm by automatically building a HTML source code information system. You can easily view it with your favorite browser or with the windows user interface of ReFiT. The analyzer accepts many languages, up to 15 languages in 1 run, and if you are looking for crossreferences in your software, use the ReFiT-Analyzer as a big timesaver. It produces reports like "What keywords does a program use ?", "Where is a module or copy used ?", "What programs have to be compiled if a copy changes ?", "What members are missing in the source libraries?", What members are never referenced ?"
ReFiT-Generator produces, on basis of record copies, Cobol I/O modules that contain all basic input/output operations, to standardize all I/O handling and prepare for easy data migration with the Migration Workbench. Each I/O coding in an application programs may be replaced by a perform. So programs issue only logical I/O without knowing the filebasis. By using this technique all I/O is done by the moduls you generate. All moduls and the application programs use the copy
RFTCIOS to communicate.
ReFiT-Workbench generate, based on a mapping table, up to 99% of all required transformation coding, including the interface to user written coding in copies and edit-modules. So all processes are repeatble.
