[TriLUG] Wake Up tool

[Stephen Bryant]

I do this myself, and I use a bash script that is basically just:

while true; do sleep 3600; terminal-notifier -title Take 5 -message Take 5; done

(terminal-notifier is the OS X command to display a notification; I can't remember the Linux equivalent off the top of my head)
