Yeah, I found a post about how to edit some other notifier settings
(use https and something else) and that's where I figured out the 2
keys + click thing. Then I had to dig around in the .app contents to
find the name of the variable for the interval, as I had hoped it was
in there somewhere. You can actually edit a .plist file inside
the .app file to add the variable name and value, but this way is
much, much easier. I'm not sure why this isn't in the preferences area
along with the few other settings you can change, but I guess they're
going for a clean look or something.
