Why I should use Awake?

Since I started using Caffeine on Windows, which by the way is not nearly as good as the Mac version, I noticed some strange characters appears when I was at command line.

At first didn't care to much, but if you have to work remotely in a mobile connection and is typing at command line (with delay) and suddenly you realize that in the middle of your typing shows a lot of "~ 8", that's exaclty what Caffeine does.

Every 30 seconds, it simulates the action of the F15 key. As there is no keyboard with this specific key they believe that the SO didn't care about it, but Windows translates the command of the F15 key to "~ 8".

Other software that I used was NoSleep. To keep your machine up NoSleep simulate the mouse movement 1 px to left and then 1 px to right. Maybe you don't care about your mouse been moving, but if you are drawing something, you will notice for sure.

Running

Method 1:

Download the file Awake-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and run on terminal:

java -jar Awake-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Method 2:

Download the file Awake-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and copy to your Startup folder, usually in:

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

This will make the application available every time that you turn your computer on.
