Hi Robert, I'm sorry to hear about the RSI. Hopefully you'll feel better with the less intense work schedule.
Have you considered any kind of software tool to help you avoid/recover from RSI? I've found Workrave (http://www.workrave.org/welcome/) to be very good at forcing you to take regular breaks so that you're not staying in the same position for hours on end. It's available for Linux, too. -Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:osg-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Osfield > Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 8:22 AM > To: osg users > Subject: [osg-users] RSI strikes, time to take it easy > > Hi All, > > Over the last two days I've started to get warning signs that my > wrists and forearms are suffering from the last few months intense > work schedule, this morning the messages got louder, and even found it > difficult writing down my TODO list using pen and paper.
