I realized this as well. On my to-do list is to build the "Difference Engine". The Difference Engine does the following: - When you go to a website the response of the request is saved. - When you go to the website again, the new response of the request is saved and compared to the previously saved version. - Finally, when you go to the website a third or subsequent time, the Difference Engine is invoked, which uses some sort of easing function in addition to calculating the "difference" between the responses. - The point of all of this is that similarity between responses will result in some response, let's call it 704, which says "hey, nothing has changed, cut it out." - The Difference Engine could be saved, resulting in near instant results, telling you nothing has changed. This saves you time, but more importantly, will slowly wean you off the site in question. - This is implemented via a VPN, so there's nothing to install. Basically, the point of the Difference Engine is to instantly tell you to stop if nothing meaningful has changed. The hope is that you'll stop checking so much as you realize nothing changes usually. Feel free to steal this idea, hah.
