Hey all,
I just wanted to say congratulations to Arthur, Nicolas, Julien D, Serge and Julien P - "Team Boxtime", the winners of the Plantronics Sponsor Prize at the AngelHack Paris 2013 Hackathon event last weekend!!! Image may be NSFW.

The team created "BoxTime", a productivity / time saving application to keep you focused on the task at hand without distractions. The application tracks your current task via a GUI at the top of the screen, during which access to configurable distracting sites is blocked, and generates reports of how much time you have spent on your tasks.
On the Windows version you can use voice control with your Plantronics headset to control Boxtime! Speak "Task Complete" to tell the app when you finished working on the task.
The app leveraged Spokes Wrapper to receive Plantronics wearing sensor events and to activate/deactivate the audio link to device, and the Microsoft System.Speech library to recognize the voice commands.
The team in the morning after the hack, still with plenty of energy to spare!
