Preserved Topic: what i want

Hello!
I always dreamt of a keyboard with a keystroke counter led on it!

I then could charge my customers when i write them a program on a per-keystroke basis

no really! it would be nice to see how many strokes i made per day!

-=l=-

I know I had some friends who had something like this on their BSD boxes, seemed a pretty simple low-level hack really, but probably requiring 14,000 lines of code for Windows, heh heh.

(I ran into a case of driver-rot this weekend, and will probably have to reinstall my W2K system now. Expect a few anti-windows comments for the next few days, sorry in advance! :-)

<<For comparison, I have only ever formatted a drive for my Mac once, upon purchase of said drives.>>

Your pal, -doc-

I'd perfer a Mouse Click Counter! OR better yet a counter that mesured how far my mouse had travledin Meters/Kilometers. Now that would be cool!

dracusis, that's already invented!
such a thing comes with the microsoft intellipoint mouse driver!

but imo that is never a realistic value, cause you cant count metrics on a screen. you can only count pixels! and so thats very relative....

Couldn't find a keystroke counter, but I came across this...

"Honey, if there were ever a time for you to get OFF the computer...!!"

You have serious issues there wes....

Grumble: Didn't know that, I'm one of those sad ass people still using a logitech 2-Button first mouse All I want is one a dem niffty scrollie things! Actually, I did have one of them.. found I got farr to used to it and I just couldn't take it when I sat down at someone else's computer and they didn't have one! I gave mine away so this would never happen again ..


I still maintain that Hitler was my love child dam it!

I remember once when working with removing dust and scratches from poorly scanned pictures taht I counted the number for clicks for a few minutes. Extrapolating the number to a whole workday gave we something like 100,000 clicks.
I am sure I did not work at that speed all day, but things like that sure adds up!

Someone makes a keystrokelogger that's a small, unobtrusive piece that looks like an adapter. It goes inline with the kb cord, and draws power parasitically from the kb connection. Imagine the fun: passwords, credit card numbers, on and on.

My mouse has been 5 mi., 1097 ft since 7/12/00... 11 mi., 1881 ft. total.( 7/23/99 )

That`s it for the useless trivia portion of our show.




If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done ?

linux comes with an applet that measures how far your mouse has traveled on the x and y axis seperately

i don't know but you might be able to make a software not hardware keylogger. easier to get on the victom... i mean volenteer.

threep wonders about his own keystroke count....
"would modifier keys count? because if you take 'alt+tab' out of my keystroke count, i think it would be halved!"
after alt+tabbing back to some work as the boss walks by, threep returns to the asylum, and carries on wasting time....

My mouse will roll 5000 miles and then he'll roll 5000 more just to... arr heh, it i keep going I'm likely to get beaten into a bloody pulp...

*ducks and runs...*

threep shakes his head at drac's misquotation of a horrid song:
"[accent]my mouse will walk FIVE HUNDRED miles...[/accent]"
...then curses dracusis for having gotten the ridiculous song stuck in his head.
