Notifu - the notification application calls you when the food is ready

I always have a big trouble after kick off a lengthy running task on my PC. Maybe it's an integration test takes about a few hours, or make a tar ball of a 20GB folder with one million files under.

To show my colleagues I'm productive and multitasking person, rather than idly doing nothing and waiting for the job done, I'd like open the browser and go to Kogan to find out some bargains. But, there is a problem. I have to keep switching back to this lengthy job window from time to time checking whether it's finished or not. This make me lose my concentration and high quality time making shopping orders online.

Now, come with Notifu, a small notification application which can run any Microsoft Windows and has no dependency on any others. Just run it after lengthy job in the pipeline:

notifu.exe /m "Job is done. Time for dinner!"

in DOS Prompt or Cygwin window. You will receive standard Windows notification message after lengthy job is done. And you won't be bothered to whether the job is done or not again and again.
