Never leave your laptop unattended...

In a quiet unattended moment, Master A_T has announced to the world wide web that his father has embraced naturism with a plea for others to try it and get in touch, because apparently I find it truly 'Liberating'!!

It links to my office website, Twitter, business LinkedIN and my business Facebook and possibly many others that I don't know about... this could be quite funny and should raise a few eyebrows.... I'll let you know who replies!

I found it amusing to sit at colleagues pc and write to a new chap in the office.
"I have been admiring you since you first arrived, would you like to get together for a drink sometime?"

On second thoughts

Before the age of laptops etc. internal office communications where I worked were transacted on memos, the sender wrote his/her name at the top along with the name and department of the addressee. The message being written on the space below.
I came across a memo addressed to the boss from one of my colleagues, but he had not got around to adding the message. As my colleague was "going out" at the time with the daughter of the boss, I thought it might be amusing to write "Please may I marry your daughter?" in the message section and pop in the out tray.
I never heard any more about it, but they did get married eventually.

In the days before email and when IBM PS2's were the thing, one of my mates was messing about and pinging messages over to my machine anonymously. Not knowing enough about this 'function' I replied "Who is this" - unfortunately the message popped up on everyone's PC on the floor with my name on it, whoops !

We used to play a trick with our boss when he left his desktop unlocked (against regs being MOD/Army).

Depending on what we had done previously, we would either disconnect his mouse &/or keyboard or better still take press print screen on the keyboard, launch a photo editting software and paste into a new document, and then set it to full screen preview... the result would be exactly the same as when he left the room except for the fact there would be no mouse movement and no responce to the keyboard except for the escape key, and ctrl+alt+del which would respond normally... got him time and time again with that trick.

After a while he became so paranoid that we could actually do nothing whatsoever and it would take him more than 5 mins to suss out we had done nothing... other than hide all his pens under the keyboard...

another good one is to swap keys around (only works if the victim doesn't use a keyboard regularly), especially if you have to input a password.

Caused by a yacht propellor in St Tropez bay, apparently. Good thing it didn't lop off any architecture.

I'm glad stitching has improved a touch since then

at one point my top row of letters on my keyboard said ''badgers'' instead of ''qwerty''

Back in my days as a Design Engineer we used to use Sun Workstations. One of the joys of these was that you could take control of the screens of other stations (never understood what use that was). The favourite was to run an effect that made the screen appear to melt and the image to start to run. It worked fantastically on newbs who were easily wound up about them breaking the monitor.
