Jiggle and Jangle

Many of you allow patients to watch movies on the computer screen while you're treating them. A common problem, though, is halfway through the movie the screen will suddenly black out. Too late, you realize that the screensaver kicked in because you hadn't touched the mouse for a while.

Mouse Jiggler is a tiny, handy utility whose sole purpose in life is to jiggle the mouse cursor for you, so that the screensaver doesn't kick in.

It has a neat feature called "Zen jiggle" which jiggles the mouse "invisibily" – meaning, your computer thinks the mouse is moving, while the cursor doesn't actually move anywhere.

The GUI is sparse. Just two check boxes. You can't even minimize it or hide it: this way you can't forget it's on, and then wonder why your mouse is randomly jiggling while you're working. Very nice!
