Day 102 and I have another neato program for you.

Hey guys. Have you ever noticed that your eyes get tired when you're on your computer. It's like you spend time in the morning and you're eyes are fine, but then later in the night it just gets harder and harder. Well, F.lux (http://www.stereopsis.com/flux/) has the answer.

Now, their slogan is a bit self-centered, I know that as well as the next person. Their program is really good though. Basically, what it does, is it keeps track of what time it and what time sunset is, then, it will adjust your screen accordingly. The thing is, during the day, our computer screens are set to look like the sun, making it easy to look at. After the sunsets though, and it's dark, our eyes aren't used to looking at things bright like the sun. It does change the colors a bit, but if you're doing color sensitive work, you can turn it off or put it to sleep for a while. It's a really cool program that I've only found one problem with. Sometimes, when you wake up your computer or turn it on, F.lux isn't sure what it should be in, and so it flickers a bit. It always finishes within a minute though, and it's a really cool program.
