Ok, now we just need to get it to auto-type. That way I can have that going on my big external monitor, while I’m playing a Flash game in a small browser window on my laptop screen. Yay!

I’ve seen that plenty of times with adblock.

SamSam.. just tape down the anykey and you are good to go.

I will have fun with this one at work.

Perfect.

I used to work as an Assistant Sound Engineer and a studio working in the Foley Department. If we were in a rush to get some ‘moves’ covered (clothing sounds, typing, chair movement, footsteps) we’s just clack on an old keyboard while looking at the screen to match up the moves the actor was making. We’d never spend time typing correctly, because we’d need to cover the next thing. Besides, the location sound guy would never catch the keyboard sound the actor was making. That’s why you’d never ‘hear’ the spacebar on screen.

Sound guys are lazy ;)

In a lot of ways it’s a really weird language.

When typing code one normally uses a lot fewer spaces and a lot more modifier keys than a normal sentence (unless you’re using Ruby or something, which allows spaces and “do/ends” instead of parentheses and braces). There also tend to be far fewer 1-2 letter words, unless you have someone who’s hell-bent on writing unreadable code by making every variable one letter.

IM’s, similarly, have a very noticeable rhythm: type type ENTER PAUSE, type type ENTER PAUSE.
