# Lazybones
|
|
|
|
'Warns when you have been sat still for too long.'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Spending too much time sat down is destructive to our health and fitness.
|
|
- Lazy bones checks the step count every minute and if this
|
|
has not changed after 26 minutes the buzzer will sound and a pop up
|
|
screen will show.
|
|
- It gives 3 warnings before giving up
|
|
- Standing up and walking around until the step counting threshold is reached will automatically dismiss the warning.
|
|
- When the warning is not displaying the apps is a simple clock
|
|
- The timer only goes off between the hours 9am to 9pm.
|
|
- The app is a basic proof of concept that can be used in other clocks
|
|
- A settings menu may be added in a future release

## Dedication
|
|
|
|
This is app is dedicated in memory of my friend, Huw Evans 1960-2019,
|
|
poet, writer, actor, archiologist, technical author, husband, father,
|
|
friend.
|
|
|
|
In May 2017, Huw Evans received a terminal cancer diagnosis. [Not
|
|
Long Now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD_Xysb6ZEA) is his
|
|
response to that diagnosis and the drastic shortening of his life
|
|
expectancy. Not Long Now is a one-man show, which uses poetry,
|
|
story-telling, puppetry and video to address one basic question:
|
|
given we are all going to die, how then shall we live?
|
|
|
|
## Why the Skull ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Skull is a [Memento
|
|
mori](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori) (Latin for
|
|
'remember that you [have to] die') is an artistic or symbolic trope
|
|
acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death.
|
|
|
|
Let us choose not to die from sitting too long.
