O.P. [REQUEST] Activity statistics
How about just a simple script to monitor when i use my messenger the most?

Idea:
Simple: just save how many messages the user recieves per hour so that the user could see, whether he/she uses messenger the most in the evening or in the morning.

Reason:
It's of no use to be online in messenger, if there is no-one to talk to. Therefore inactive time could be used otherwise and messenger could be used more efficiently.

Please help, i couldn't do this myself. :P

Hello,

Maybe the Stat Center script can help you.

O.P. RE: Stat center
Current situation:
I am well aware of the stat center and i'm looking for something like. This Stat center is an excellent script that collect various information about how many messages the user sends and recieves and what kinds of messagetypes the user sends and recieves. Sadly though Stat center only tells me that i've been online 88 hours in the past 12 days so it gives no clue when my friends would be the most easily avaliable on arvage and on the other hand what part of my messenger usage is such idle time that should be used otherwise.

Solution 1:
Stat center could be further developed also to write down which hours of the day are the most active and which hours of the day should be spent off computer. Stat center just happens to be already such a large script that it would be somewhat pain in the ass to add this feature to it. After all Stat center has its own statistics for each and every contact on the list already.

Solution 2:
A new script could be made just to monitor on which hours are the most messages recieved. As i see this, this very very simple script would only store 24 values and provide some way to look at those 24 values to see when messenger would be used most efficiently.

- 24 values, one for each hour of the day
- code needed to store those 24 values
- code needed to know how much the time is
- code needed to add one to the value currently in progress
  whenever a message arrives
- some sort of viewer for the information collected

Could someone help me on this, shouldn't take too long :P
I would do this myself if i could. :D

Hi Chikara,

I FULLY back up your request.

I'm using "XOBNI" (www.xobni.com), an MS Outlook add-in that has this kind of functionality for all my email contacts. Works GREAT!!
You can see very easily at what time in a day the contact is  awake/working/spamming...

Would be great to have this also working for Messenger!

Unfortunately, I'm also not able to make this happen. Hopefully some scriptdesigner will pick this up!
(So please have a look at Xobni to see a working example for email...)

Regards,

If you could plot results on a graph too that would be good :p

@SpunkyLoveMuff:

Perhaps you can use some Word API/ActiveX function to draw a graph and use an ImageElement to display it..

EDIT::

For the graph: what about having a window with MANY StaticControls with a single "." in them, creating a line (eg <Control Id="Graph_999*999"> ..... for a line at (999,999)  ). One can then use PlusWnd::setControlText("Graph_999*999","."); to fill in the line...

Although that is totally different than what Chikara explained here:

Chikara means a stats script which keeps track on the amount of messages for each hour in the day. You are talking about individual contact stats, much like what the script Stat Center already does.

Why such a really long and clumsy/dodgy way? You can easly make your own graph by drawing some lines of your own.

Anyhow it'll be loads of work doing such things in a script, without using external libraries/ActiveXs..
You realy need that vacation :p it's dead easy ;)
