Never turn your computer off!

What you  need is some servos, hooked up to a timer and a bucket of water over your bed. I guarantee you wouldn't make he mistake of sleeping in too much       :D    

I'm self employed and I sometimes go through a patch were I get up late, usually because I'm working late. It's funny, I always try and kidd myself that it's OK because I"ve worked late the night before      :rolleyes:    

The truth is that I'm always more productive when I follow a strict routine. It's distractions that make you tired.

Here's some "distractions" I found for you      :D    

Yhawn!

Surveys!!

Crazy people?

P.S Refalm, I like your sig pic.

I downloaded it but Im having troubl with a lib

you try it, it says you can set it to run a program at a certain time ....play an ogg or mp3 at 6:30 in the mron'n

Faust:
Check your BIOS and read through all the options very carefully - my computer turns itself on at 10 AM every morning, and I'm going to rig it up with at or cron to play a random ogg from my music b folder (metal) as loud as it can.     (xxms -t to start up xmms, then it should just start playing from whatever playlist it was last on.)

It is possible, but it will be a bios thing (my motherboard is an asus TUSL2-M) or it will be a hardware thing.

Just had a thought: You could rig up an alarm clock to complete the circuit to your power button - friend of mine doesnt even have a case for his comp, so to turn it on you have to cross the right two wires.  By inserting those two wires into a convenional alarm clock and cutting them into the circuit for the alarm it should be possible to start your pc.  Of course if your alarm clock is off, so is your computer which means you dont want an alarm clock that turns off after a certain amount of time, and you dont want a battery powered alarm clock.  (cos when it dies so does your pc.)  It may (will) also be possible to include a switch to short the alarm clock connection so you can use your computer without the alarm being on.
