Track site visitors in real time
I saw whos.amung.us sometime back. I was not quite impressed at that time. Perhaps at that time the service has not matured much. But look at whos.amung.us now and you can’t help feel pleasantly surprised.
It shows real time data on who’s on your site\blog right now by simply using a little gif file on each page (in the blog template. Pretty nice.
Train to be a Keyboard Jedi
Learning app Keyboard Jedi disables your mouse and helps you memorize your favorite application’s keyboard shortcuts.
No, this software is not any visual overlay or a diagram of keyboard shortcuts but something entirely different – it puts you in a situation where you have no option but to learn the shortcuts in order to complete your task – just like the strict teacher in the school.
Start any application and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12. Keyjedi will disable your mouse only for that application. Whatever shortcuts you type will appear in a small transparent window.
In Firefox, you can still use mouse to move the cursor and grab focus of various text areas and input fields, but choosing menu items (like File > New Tab) was disabled. Keyboard Jedi is a free download for Windows; requires the free .NET framework to run. [via Lifehacker]
