In the wake of the comcast.net being hacked this morning, which prevented a lot of people from getting access to their email, I got to thinking about fun email antics you might use against your co-workers.  The main thing that comes to mind is just jumping on someones computer when they leave it unlocked and using their email to send messages to your co-workers.  This is a common tactic used to convince people they should lock their computers.

Just found out that my tips line has not been working.  If anyone wants to send in a tip try josh@officewarfare.net instead.  Not sure if anyone has tried sending them in but if you did, please resend it because I do intend to do my best to implement and post stuff sent in.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Today I have another amusing thing to do to your friends and enemies that I have to give credit to The Office for.  Basically it boils down to this, your co-worker walks away and leaves their phone on their desks.  You simply take their phone and pair it with your bluetooth headset.  Then when a phone call comes in you have the option of taking it for them.  Obviously you might want to be careful not to get into any awkward situations like answering a call from a collection agency . 

This particular attack does not have to use jello but it is possibly most well known for the use of it with Jello in the television show the Office.  Basically in this attack you take all the items on a persons desk and wrap them in something like aluminum foil or suspend them in Jello.  This obviously works best if the person is out of the office for a day.  Further please don’t suspend electronic equipment in Jello, or if you do don’t blame me when it no longer works. 

If you do this to one of your co-workers send in a snapshot of it.

So I realize that sometimes a blog format is not exactly what is needed for a site of this nature.  Because of that I am starting to move some of the content, once it has been added, to pages like the Downloads page you see in the upper right corner of the screen.  That way you can get to some of the more useful content without having to search through months of blog entries.  i am going to work on doing the same with some of the tutorials I have written. 

Hopefully that will shape up in the next few days. Also remember that if you have any ideas or requests send them to the tip line at tips@officewarfare.net.  That way I can keep providing you all interesting content.
