What about a 5-seconds long reaction test where you should press the arrow keys upon being told to? I think that sounds great! ...the problem that the Internet Distraction script also has - that Facebook gets blocked not only once, but twice. Hmm...when I try it on my machine (the Chrome version), ...

Right. So, inspired by this script, I made a Facebook AlcoLock. If you fail at writing the alphabet in 15 seconds (a fair test?), it should block facebook. I like this idea a lot, but I'm afraid that it would be too easy to get really good at typing the alphabet when you're drunk (like the drunks w...

@Cole Bennet No problem. It took some working around, as the Firefox UI is a little different (the address bar isn't recognizable as a class, as I believe it's just rendered by Gecko). But the script below should work in probably any version of Firefox, with one difference: it looks for mentions of ...

@deejreynolds: You may need to run the script as an administrator for BlockInput to work in Vista or 7. When it's working, BlockInput should block all keyboard and mouse input during the 30 second countdown. If this is the problem you're having, setting Autohotkey to always run as administrator will...

How precisely do I run this script? ... where do I copy and paste your script to? If you download and install Autohotkey and paste my script into a text file ending in ".ahk", then all you have to do is double click on the AHK file and it'll run in the system tray. :-) I was thinking of m...

Inspired by the latest xkcd , I decided to write a small script to help people manage their Internet distractions with his official method. You know what's sad, though? I really don't have a problem getting distracted by random sites during the work day - it's these scripts I write when I should pro...

Thanks, ruddym! :D Those are really good suggestions, I'll edit the previous post now! If you're interested, I also made something like the Google search box for Google Desktop Search (the one that you can bring up by double-clicking Ctrl), for a friend who liked the search box, but didn't want to h...

Alright, here's a new version with all the bugs that I know of fixed and a hotkey for creating a new note added (Ctrl+Alt+F9). Below are the download links. Friend Pack v1.5.1.ahk Friend Pack v1.5.1.exe And here's the Note Search for it, which requires Windows Desktop Search if you want that feature...

Awesome, I'm glad that there's still some interest in this. 1) Did you have any ideas/preferences for the hotkey for creating a new note? It'll be easy to implement since I turned creating a new note into a subroutine. 2) I actually did fix the search problem in Firefox now - it was previously teste...

My little brother uses Skype a lot to talk to a good friend of his while they play online games together. Sometimes, they get frustrated though because they can't be sure when the other is going to be on, and it seems Skype doesn't allow you to leave detailed away messages (and I think my father has...

What do you need this for exactly? If it's just to hide everything you're working on, then Rajat's script should work great for you, and it doesn't even require that you close anything! If Rajat's script doesn't do what you need, then some more information could help in figuring out what would be th...

This should work for you... :D

Code:
WinGetActiveTitle, winTitle
ControlGet, siteAddress, Line, 1, Edit1, %winTitle%


After running that, the URL will be stored in the variable "siteAddress".

Well that was actually intentional that it sets the highlighted text to upper-case if even one lower-case character exists. I figured that I'd probably never want to completely flip the cases when both lower-case and upper-case exist. For example, what would be the use of turning "This" in...

There was recently someone looking for a script in the "Ask For Help" section that would run a Google search on any words he had highlighted (if any). I did make something a while back just for myself, so I posted it for him. I didn't think to post it on the Scripts & Functions section...
