If you work primarily with text, there's simply no reason to have your computer screen shine bright white at your face all day. Eye strain stinks. Enter F.lux.
It's an app that's so cleverly thought through that I figured it was Mac-only. Turns out it runs on Windows and Linux. F.lux changes your screen brightness and hugh based on the sun. Is it bright and white out? Then so is your screen. Are you writing at 6 in the morning in pitch blackness like I am? Your screen will be a lovely and calm deep pink, causing far, far less strain.
It's also free, and uses up almost no system resources.
