Every now and again I forget to save my work and then Logic crashes and I’ve lost the last ten minutes or so of material. I threw together a little Applescript application that tells Growl to display a notification reminding me to save every five minutes.
Here is the script saved as an application, which you can download.
Naturally, this only works if you use Mac OS X and have Growl installed.
To read the source, click –>

tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
-- Make a list of all the notification types:
set the allNotificationsList to ¬
{"Save Reminder"}

-- Make a list of the notifications
set the enabledNotificationsList to ¬
{"Save Reminder"}

-- Register our script with growl.
register as application ¬
"Growl Save Reminder" all notifications allNotificationsList ¬
default notifications enabledNotificationsList ¬
icon of application "Console"

repeat
-- Send a Notification...
notify with name ¬
"Save Reminder" title ¬
"SAVE YOUR FUCKING WORK" description ¬
"⌘S ⌘S ⌘S Motherfucker!!!" application name "Growl Save Reminder"

-- wait 5 minutes
delay 300

end repeat
end tell
