It was great fun. I wrote it up on my O'Reilly Net blog. "Lock picking is the new knitting."

My feet are waiting. Regular readers of this blog know that it is very important to track whether or not my feet are moving. The reasons are varied and many, and there is really no need to enumerate them all.

So now it is possible to literally see when I last moved my feet. This comes with some caveats, like, my feet have to be under my desk. And sometimes the feet that are reported as having moved are, in fact, not my feet, but the feet of another.

Or even a completely non-foot related item, like a cat, or a small annoying dog who manifests her desire for love by chewing the crotches of panties and pissing and pooing on the floor.

Clearly more research and funding is needed in order to engage in appropriate research on remote foot identification. In the meantime, this is brought to you by an old garage door motion sensor, my making things Teleo Modules, and a tiny bit of code.

Hopefully people who care about what my feet are doing will develop a dependence on having this information mediated through a tool that I wrote. That way I can then go off on holiday or down to the pub without annoyance by simply running the "Best of Rich's Feet!"

Take that Panopticon!
