Need a Word Meter?

I found this cool function that gives you a little word-meter you can stick on your web page to track the amount of writing you're getting done on a project. If this post was going to be a thousand words and I only had 236 done, you'd see this:

226 / 1,000 (22.6%)

It's The Zokutou Word Meter. It might be fun for students working on essays, writers working on bigger projects, or anyone who likes to see progress in graphical form.
(It looks fine in the preview and not here--Firefox or IE. Anybody have a comment as to why?)
