  • I used to do the same thing to a few people back in the day. Linux distros used to ship with the X listening port just conveniently wide open and the config set to allow input from any other device on the LAN. I’d start with only one xeyes, and then they’d close it. I’d do it a few more times until they got irritated with me, and then I’d push it further by putting xeyes into a bash loop to open dozens at a time.


  • I wrote a simple script once that ran in the background and all it did was toggle the state of the caps lock key every 30 minutes. I set it up on a co-worker’s computer as a scheduled task for an April Fools prank one year. I thought for sure he’d figure it out pretty quickly, but by mid-day, he had completely disassembled his keyboard, convinced the button was getting stuck due to gunk buildup. Eventually I ended up just disabling the task so he thought he had managed to fix it himself.

    Dude, no offense, but that water mark message at the bottom is so silly. There’s gotta be better services out there that don’t add their own messages. Have you considered just adding your water mark manually with photo editing software? Gimp is free and doesn’t take much effort to learn for what you’re doing with it. Also, if it’s a matter of batch processing, Gimp has a plugin called Bimp that should let you automatically add your water mark to whole collections of images in one go. In any case, not trying to offend. Just hoping this is helpful.
