WipeLog is a free Restroom plugin that allows the user to keep a running tally of the remaining squares on his household toilet tissue rolls.

WipeLog can track tissue usage over time, generating statistical reports that show trends in tissue usage by day-of-the-week or month, estimating when rolls will run empty, and even provide comparison analysis to reveal how many squares individual Restroom visitors use on a per-visit basis.

I am no longer amazed at what a programmer will waste hours of his life to develop. At least my WipeLog can be used by frugal apartment roommates who want to accurately divide the financial burden of purchasing toilet tissue.

Jack, WipeLog...cute. Made me chuckle. But don't worry about BlogAmp. The market will decide if it is good and useful.

Ahh, but BlogAmp is free software spread via pseudo-free web publishing. Its existence is not subject to natural selection. Any yahoo programmer can publish anything he wants and not face extinction. At best, people don't use the software. That doesn't mean software of its ilk will die off. The idea persists.

The idea may persist, but does it sire offspring?

Absolutely. The idea breeds. If you accept that BlogAmp is a voyeur tool, then it is merely another child of its parent.

Who is the parent? Anyone care to guess? Perhaps the CMU Coke Machine.
