One last update to ArrangeByImage for today

Josh — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 01:15:59 +0000

I had a couple of suggestions passed to me today, one to allow drawing in the picture box area and arrange by the drawing, and two to build a few of the pictures into the executable and allow them to be used via a switch.

So for you folks out there who asked, you shall received, I just uploaded ArrangeByImage 1.2 (download from ArrageByImage Page above) which satisfies both requests.

Three new switches have been added “-heart”, “-star”, “-smiley” that will arrange the icons based on one of those three images that are saved in the executable so no additional picture is required.

Finally, there is now a check box that switches the program from selecting a file to allowing you to draw in the image area.

Updated ArrangeByImage

Made an update to ArrangeByImage so it now supports command line switches. This is in keeping with the general purpose of this site which is to annoy your co-workers. Now you can run ArrangeByIcon on a friends computer and watch their confused face. Have Fun!

New app released, ArrangeByImage. My co-worker Mike and I modified some code he found and came up with this. Check out the link for full back story, screen shots, and the app with source code. ArrangeByImage allows you to arrange the icons on your desktop based on the black lines in a bitmap image.

Silly Assault

So this poor guy stopped by our office with his son to ask a quick question. What did the people in my office do? Well they gave his son silly string of course and pointed him down the hall at his dad. He enjoyed it so much he kept asking for more silly string, we were out unfortunately.

Googles Cadie and Cisco Phones

Josh — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 23:23:21 +0000

Ok I had a briliant idea for a prank today but it was a big enough scale I foolishly thought to ask permission first, which of course means I was told no. However with some of the leg work done I have decided to post what I have so far here incase there are any enterprising IT employees out there in the world with a Cisco phone system.

So my idea, I thought man that tune on Cadie’s blogspot page is annoying, I should make a ring tone out of it. So I did. Then I thought, I should put this on a few phones, but wait! I should do one better, I should put it on everyones phone. Then came the dilema, how to do such a task. Well it turns out such a thing is no large task at all on a Cisco phone system like we run here at my unnamed work. Where was I, oh right, well Cisco phone systems use a TFTP server to host all of their ring tones and they store them in a .raw audio format, so making them is easy and adding new ones is easy, for more information on that try here. The really fun part about that is if you are an administrator and you have access to that TFTP server all you have to do to replace all ringers at your site with an annoying ringer is copy all the .raw files out of that path (to back them up, then make enough copies of cadie.raw and rename them for each real ring tone you currently have. Then copy all of your fake cadie ringtones over and voila all phones ring with that annoying tune.

One last thing for anyone interested in the cadie song I ripped an MP3 from the youtube video and uploaded it here for you pleasure.

World of Warcraft Dismounting Addon MountHelper

Josh — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 22:37:07 +0000

This is my first WoW addon specifically designed to annoy people in the grand tradition of OfficeWarfare. Now most of us know someone who plays World of Warcraft, some of us probably play it for that matter. And hopefully most of you reading this have a healthy desire to annoy your friends that play WoW. If you do you have come to the right place. MountHelper an addon written by yours truly is specifically designed to annoy people who play WoW.

All you do is copy the files in the zip (see below) to a persons WoW installation folder under Interface\AddOns. Then when they log in to play WoW they will be greeted by a big fat nothing different. But what they don’t know is that silently in the background MountHelper is rolling the dice and if they loose the toss (~.5%) they will be dismounted with no indication as to why. Now I intentionally made the percent low so that it wont happen often. But I am looking forward to the time when your friend gets dismounted while farming on their epic mount from WAY to high up to survive.

One other thing in the interest of full disclosure because I would never want anyone to say I sneak extra stuff into my code, when your friend is dismounted they will join the OfficeWarfare channel in WoW and announce, “Dismounted by MountHelper” the idea being those of us that know about it can join that channel and chuckle as people get dismounted.

That is all there is to it, enjoy.

Jello Desk

Josh — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:10:40 +0000

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.

Boo The Game

Josh — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 23:56:49 +0000

So apparently small children find Boo to be an amusing game. Because of this I had a request to turn boo into a game instead of a tool for annoyance. You ask and so you receive. Here it is Boo The Game. Run away from Boo as long as you can, as time passes more Boos are created and they get faster. Have Fun!

Welcome back to work everyone, hope you had a good weekend. Maybe some of you even tried out topcoder, if so good for you, I hope you had a fun go of it.

Well on to today’s topic, I have another program for you today, this one is simple, when run it takes a screen shot of the current desktop, then displays that image full screen. What this does is lend the illusion of a no longer working desktop. Try it out on your friends. To end this app just hit alt-F4 or control-alt-delete and use task manager. For that matter you can alt-tab out of it. But it is still good for a little chuckle.

Boo

Josh — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 21:06:17 +0000

Welcome back today, so if you have been reading for a little while you may remember the Shortcut Switch up! article. Well this program, loving named Boo goes along well with that one. Basically boo is a super annoying little version of boo the ghost from the Mario series of games. You run him and he pops up on your screen and begins to chase the cursor. Not so anoying in and of itself but if he catches you he makes more Boos. I have however limited him to 10 Boos at a time since otherwise it could seriously chew up your system resources quickly.

One more thing, the trick to getting rid of Boo is to turn caps lock on. Then instead of making more Boos, any Boos that catch you will just die.
