Just wondering what little scripts/programs people here have written that helps one with his or her everyday life (aka not work related).

Anything goes, groundbreaking or not. For me right now, it’s a small python script to calculate running pace given distance and time elapsed.

  1. My o key fell off on my laptop; so I wrote a program that replaces two 0 keystrokes within 200 MS of each other as an o, two 0 keystrokes within 700 MS of each other as a 0 and ignore the rest; so I could use my laptop before I get around to replacing the keyboard.

    Wow; I didn’t know this would be so popular :p

    As for how – Microsoft exposes a nice little API feature called Hooks.

    Using that hook; I was able to write a ‘filter’ that did what I needed it to do (hint: if you return 1 with your callback windows will not process the keystroke).

    The reason I know about this actually is not because I was writing a keylogger – but because I wrote a program smiler to Synergy a while ago.

    And yes. I did write another program that swapped alpha-numeric keys with a random alpha-numeric key and yes; it was really funny 😀
