Well, can anyone beat this one....
It was an April fool's prank. THe prank was set to run on April 1st on the client's web application when a database update was performed. When the client updated the record, the next page displays an error message saying everything has been deleted in the system because the user performed an illegal task. HAHAHA It was an accounting transactions system too. Then after 20 seconds if the user stayed on that page, this animation displayed... http://www.snifflebear.com/index3.cfm (turn on your speakers and click the "Shoot" button!) hahaha, I'm evil. The client was a friend by the way, so it was all good :) -----Original Message----- From: Beth F [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 12:24 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Office Tricks I once found some code on the hp site which allowed me to change the ready message on the printer on the fly from my pc. So I put up this: "OUCH, My print head hurts" someone noticed right away and said something stupid like "ok, who changed the message on the printer?" Printer: "I did, me" Stupid: "Who is Me?" Printer: "HP 5SI, printer" Stupid: "The printer is talking to me" Printer: "Yes, I am" Stupid: "Printers can't talk"..... Eventually I got in trouble for this escapade. I was forced to put "READY" back on the printer. The second best office prank was quite simple: We put an "Autocorrect" in my bosses email that changed his name to "Complete A**hole" Every time he typed his name the computer changed it to "Complete A**hole", without the *'s of course. Third best office prank: We wrote a small vb program that ran at startup that made a copy of the screen every time a certain series of characters were typed. The copy of the screen was then displayed to the user so that he couldn't click on anything, type anything. It could be exited by getting to the task manager and killing the application. We set it to run whenever the person in question typed his name.
