Post Counter ip address exclude?

Does anyone here feel up to the challenge of modifying the plugin counter (found here):

so that it excludes certain WP users, or certain ip addresses? I would just like to exclude myself from the list, as I would like a truly accurate idea of who is visiting my site. I realize that this counts search engines and such, but at least if I could get rid of my footprint, the stats would be more accurate to reflect where people are going and what is most relavant.

Thanks!
