Yet More IO Graphs

It has been a while since I have done any of these but I fired open IOGraphica and made some more graphs. This particular one was over 10 hours worth.

I’m Still At It

Yes it is a new year but I am still going on with making IOGraphs. There is something so wonderfully simple about them that makes me keep going back to them. The following two are the result of about 5 hours total of tracking mouse movements.

#180 Yet More IOGraphica Graphs… (if that makes sense)

Here are yet more traces from IOGrapica. I seem to like using it just for the sheer geekery of seeing what I was up to. The images are from photoshopping and some photo processing in Aperture 3.

#157 More IOGraphs

Some more IOGraphs. The first one is 2.1 hours, done last night. Just light internet browsing:

The next one is 6.5 hours worth from almost a whole days worth of computering. I turned the mouse stops off (the circles in the other IOGraphs) and it gives a different kind of image all together. Activities on this one included some light photoshopping, and light internet browsing. I turned the background on whilst saving it too so you can roughly see where abouts on the screen I was moving a bit clearer.

#132 The Polo Paths

Here are the IOGraphs from the Polo WRC. I didn’t do them for the whole thing, but here are the ones for the first hour or so and the last hour or so of work. Total time taken to do the car was 4 hours 45 minutes.

#129 More Mouse Art

It seems that whenever I switch on my computer, I open IOGraph to make some images. They don’t disappoint.

This one was created in about half the time of the last one I posted, but I was actually doing some work this time.

#128 Some Mouse Art

The other day I stumbled across a piece of software which, unashamedly, is giving me some quite geeky fun. Called IOGraph, it tracks the movements of the computer mouse or trackpad and turns it into ‘modern art’ in a style not too dissimilar to artist, Jackson Pollock.

You can have it running in the background and a few hours later, when you have finished what you are doing on the computer, you will find a unique image that is based on where your mouse is on the screen. The programme which gives you a live preview of what it is doing or creating, shows lines for movements, and if you have the mouse stationary, a dot appears, the longer the mouse is stationary results in a larger dot.

I’ve noticed from using it that there are some areas of my iMac screen that I very rarely use, such as the bottom left hand side of the screen, or in fact, the left hand side of the screen in general.

Below is the mouse trackings for almost 4 hours and it is wonderful.
