Impressive is a program that displays PDF presentation slides with
style. Smooth alpha-blended slide transitions are provided for the sake
of eye candy, but in addition to this, Impressive offers some unique
tools that are very useful for presentations.
NOTE: Unless you have fairly decent GL support, playing with this will
make your X session unhappy. Still, it's kind of cool...

Workrave is a program that assists in the recovery and prevention of
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). The program frequently alerts you to
take micro-pauses, rest breaks and restricts you to your daily limit.
These can be customized and it stops the counter when you stop. The
program can be run distributed on one or more PCs. All connected PCs
share the same timing information. When you switch computers, you will
still be asked to pause on time.

VYM (View Your Mind) is a tool to generate and manipulate maps which
show your thoughts. Such maps can help you to improve your creativity
and effectivity. You can use them for time management, to organize
tasks, to get an overview over complex contexts, to sort your ideas etc.
Maps can be drawn by hand on paper or a flip chart and help to structure
your thoughs. While a tree like structure can be drawn by hand or any
drawing software vym offers much more features to work with such maps.
vym is not another drawing software, but a tool to store and modify
information in an intuitive way. For example you can reorder parts of
the map by pressing a key or add various information like a complete
email by a simple mouse click.

Ledger is an accounting tool with the moxie to exist. It provides no
bells or whistles, and returns the user to the days before user
interfaces were even a twinkling in their father's CRT. What it does
offer is a double-entry accounting ledger with all the flexibility and
muscle of its modern day cousins, without any of the fat. Think of it as
the Bran Muffin of accounting tools.

Todo is a program to display and manage a hierarchical list of outstanding
work, or just reminders.
The program itself is assisted by a few shell scripts that override default
builtins. Specifically, cd, pushd and popd are overridden so that when using
one of these commands to enter a directory, the todo will display any
outstanding items in that directory.
