An Idea, Just In Time...

While Seth Godin might want a fancy rss alarm clock, I'll take a moment to go one better.

It's an alarm for your computer - not for winamp, but the actual PC.

It should be easily configurable, and it should be able to start your computer at about 8:50am - just before you begin the work day.

It should also keep an eye on the time, and politely try to shut down the computer after 6pm...

Now, how simple is that? Pretty simple. It would save power and make life so much easier for us 9-5 wage slaves...

So what's stopping this from being done?
