HAIETMOBA Reminder

The purpose of this application is to periodically remind you to ask HAIETMOBA. But default, it prompts you every 10 minutes but you can configure the interval in the application.

Installation instructions

Download the latest Windows installer here

NOTE: If you get the error – This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. – you need to first install Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package

The program will automatically launch whenever you start Windows. To change this, remove the program shortcut from your Start menu → Programs → Startup folder.

Aside from clicking the buttons, you can also press the keyboard shortcuts: Alt+) -- or Alt+| -- or Alt+( … this is useful especially when the popup reminder comes while you are touch typing.

More options can be found in the system tray icon:

The Actualism Method

The question “How am I experiencing this moment of being alive?” (HAIETMOBA) is part of the Actualism method which was devised to increase one’s moment to moment attentiveness in order to increase the felicitous feelings (those that are happy and harmless) while minimizing both the good (those that are loving and trusting) and bad feelings (those that are hateful and fearful).

For further details, see the concise or full description.

You can also use this application as your personal motivator.

Alternative solution for MacOSX

This application does not have a package for MacOSX yet (although this is technically possible if one spends the effort required to implement it). Meanwhile, here is what you can do:

  1. Install Growl
  2. Install ActivePython 2.6 for Mac
  3. Open Terminal
  4. Type pypm install smart-notify
  5. Type crontab -e
  6. Add this line: 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /Users/yourname/.local/bin/smart_notify.py "HAIETMOBA" "How am I experiencing this moment of being alive?"
  7. You may want to change the notification style: open Growl Preferences, “Python Shell” from Applications and click ‘Configure’; you can now select the Application’s Display Style (eg: “Music Video”)

You will now get a notification popup every 10 minutes.
