OughtoSave - Growl Save Reminder application

[Tallen]

I needed something to remind me to save my work when I'm drawing, as I tend to get really absorbed and risk loosing a lot of work if the application I'm using crashes (yes, Illustrator, I'm looking at you). So I created a little AppleScript that displays a Growl alert every 15 minutes to remind me to save my progress.

This works really well for me, so I decided to create a little application, which is now available for download. It is a simple AppleScript and Perl application that configures launchd to run a Growl notification script every 15 minutes. As i uses launchd, it only works on Tiger.
