Never heard of either, but just used both and the free version of Burp seems complete enough and is free. Charles is restricted when free ($50 license) but looks better.

edit: additionally, Burp uses a custom certificate instead of a default one for all Charles users

I've been using pimsleur as well, was able to find a pdf transcript to use alongside, which i found helpful. Also, anki (SRS flashcard system) works really well. I found a language coach at italki.com that sends me lists of words in a word doc and spoken into mp3, which i convert into flashcard using this method: http://www.zhtoolkit.com/posts/2011/05/creating-audio-flashc... (a lot of work the first time, about 5 minutes for 30 words the times after that).

I recently got a My Basis watch for this, works pretty well, and soon there should be more advanced sleep tracking as well. Really interesting to have an continuous heart-rate tracker, you can tell how much impact having a cold can have on your entire body for instance...

And I also object to the whole 'pay with a tweet' thing. If I send something into my network, it's because I like it/think it's useful. I'm not going to do that without being able to try it out.

Might not be what this piece of software was created, but could a similar technique be used for an opposite effect: waking up in the morning? There are morning lights available that send 10.000 lux light, could you get a monitor to do this instead? would it have the same effect as those lights?
