I've been working on Project Fred off and on for a while now. It's based on Project Dolphin, which ran for a while about 4-5 years ago. It's just a program that runs in the background, counting your keystrokes and mouse actions. You can then submit the counts to the fred website and get ranked against other users. Totally pointless!   I keep meaning to update it (especially since I fixed a bug in the mouse distance calculation since the last release) but life has a nasty habit of getting in the way. I also had to endure the horrors of PHP writing the joomla plugin for the fred website. It's a joomla plugin cos some dude asked me to integrate it into his joomla site cos he figured he could make millions of dollars out of it somehow. As far as I know, he's got about 6 users that have made a submission.

I can't take a screenshot of the latest thing I'm working on because it has no UI whatsoever - not even a tray icon (although I might put one in later if I decide to add a config UI). I have a Creative Audigy 2 NX sound card which comes with a remote control. Unfortunately for me, the remote only seems to really work with Creative's lovely media center, and I want it to work with Windows Media Center cos I've got it hooked up to my HTPC in the lounge. Theoretically Creative provides a way to do this but after reading a few guides online I still haven't managed to get it to work at all. Enter RemoteHack. I loaded up Spy++ and logged all the windows messages that the remote control helper app received whenever a remote button was pressed. RemoteHack looks for the remote control helper process and attaches a message hook into it - I then catch the message that tells the app that a button was pressed, and simulate a keypress instead. Media Center picks it up and reacts to it as if I had pressed one of the multimedia keys on the keyboard. At least that's the theory... i finished the code at 1am this morning and didn't bother testing it yet. It does a lookup for the button codes in the registry so I can remap the simulated keypresses if i want. Plus I put in a mechanism where it grabs the window class of the foreground window and looks that up in the registry too, so I can override buttons based on what app is currently focused. Once I get it working 100% i'll put a link up somewhere.
