My Mouse Movements (MMM) is a gadget that visualizes how much you move your mouse during the day. It is implemented for the Google Desktop Sidebar.
My Mouse Movements
Does it record my location?
Don't worry. MMM does not record the location of your mouse.
MMM checks ten times a minute to see
whether the mouse has moved. For each minute, it stores the number of
times the mouse location changed (e.g., 4 out of 10).
How does it work?
MMM displays each minute as a rectangle with a color. Each row in
the display contains 60 squares representing a whole hour. The
24 rows represent a whole day of data.
Can I change the color?
Yes, you can change the color of the display by invoking the menu
at the top-right corner of gadget. The available colors are:
orange, blue, red, green, purple, and black.
Can I see my average mouse movements per hour?
Yes, you can set the display to average your mouse movements by hour,
15 minutes, 10 minutes, and 5 minutes.
Seven days of data to demonstrate how My Mouse Movements might be useful.
I was slacking then worked late.
The mad dash before the gadget deadline.
Look at the bottom six hours. I was working, but switching between my PC and Mac.
Mostly class and switching between my Mac and PC. Using SPSS at 7pm.
I seem to not remember what I did. There were some points when I was fixing this gadget.
Another late day. Continued working on one of my research projects.
I was writing on my Mac and developing on my PC at the same time.
