Take aWebcam Picture When the Mouse Moves

This takes a webcam picture every everytime the mouse is moved (waits 10 seconds between checking for movement) and stores the picture wherever you want it.

Ideas:

Use in conjunction with a dropbox type application to see who is using your computer

Use /dev/input/mice if /dev/input/mouse* doesn't work

Use the bones of this to make a simple screensaver

easily strace all your apache *child* processes

Like the original version except it does not include the parent apache process or the grep process and adds "sudo" so it can be run by user.
