What is a writer?
A miserable little pile of words!


Call me MP or Miz


Fiction attempted, with various levels of success.


Yes, I do need help, thank you for noticing.

Over the past 24 hours I've been working on a little guy that'll pop up on my computer and pester me about house chores that I forget too often. His name is Taskie and he lives in my hard drive

This Rules.

I'm suddenly also very much reminded of Gopher Dar. Bonus points for anyone that recognises that reference

Unfortunately no, not currently. There might be a way to work around it?

One option would be having the speech bubble be a seperate window, and having the windows resize to fit the bounds of Taskie/the speech bubble to make the unclickable space as small as possible. For this version of Taskie I wanted it to be as lightweight and quickly launching as possible, but for a public release I'd look into different options.

Sooo many people have told me they want this! I'm gonna be taking a look at what it'd take to make a public version and will probably start developing one once I'm done my own personal one

This reminds me of something Neil Cicierega revealed he made for himself once, where if he was doing work on the computer, he wrote a piece of software that kept track of all the time he spent focused on windows that weren't work. Whenever he'd tab away from his work, the timer would increment, and he could mouse over it in the system tray to see how long he spent not working.
