a few years ago i wrote this little program that would 'auto-scroll' through code. it did it at random intervals and lengths to look natural. and with one hand on my mouse and closed eyes, i worked very hard on catching up on sleep.

I'm drawing circles at random in flash. I took the "look angry" advice, and I have my eyebrows nit together.
