Have an interesting image by way of celebrating my new unsmashed iPhone screen and my cat no longer having a temerature of 41.7C and me being on a 4 day week and it being Thusday.

AutoCorrect Japes!

No posts for an age so might as well put this here…

• Work in a office?   check.
• Collegues computers unlocked for short periods?  check.
• Bored?   check.

When your target has left their desk with their computer unlocked, preferrably with Word or Outlook open I urge you to perform the following misconduct altering the Autocorrect entries to automatically replace the word of your choice with a mischievous replacement.

Open Word or activate it if it’s already open, then select   Tools > AutoCorrect options.  

Then as shown, enter your chosen words. I chose Regards as then you will almost always score a direct hit on outgoing Emails.

Click Add and then close Word or return the screen to its previous state and retire to your own desk.

I sucessfully implemented this at work swapping Regards with Cheesecake. The target sent several external Emails before noticing.

 

Another potential winner is to replace the full stop    ‘. ‘   with a space followed by a word followed by a full stop for example  ’ squid .‘   

This then appends every sentence with squid which can make for interestring reading although the chances or it going unnoticed until the end of an Email is much reduced.

There is also some value in “sleeper” words. Rarely used nuggets waiting like time bombs in the background.

e.g. Replace

 ’thank’ with ‘wank’,

‘eyes’ with ‘peepers’

‘Christmas’ with ‘I have a welt on my nutbag’

 

Enjoy.

Bacon win.

See the lovely bacony goodness,

Yes, yes, yes!

This IS a blog

And normal service will be resumed as soon as I get a few hours to think.

(WTF, who am I kidding? this IS normal).

But until then, I’ve been totally immursed in the Skeptics guide to the universe podcasts over the past couple of months. As someone who’s always believed that the only real truth is science and scientific method I feel like I’ve found something really very valuable.

To sum up, no paranormal event or claim has ever passed controlled, impartial scientific scrutiny. Yet morons (not mormons, although thaey are of the same set) are still gaining ground in science classes across the U.S. with claims that fossils are planted by God as a test of faith and that Darwin was somehow linked to Nazism. Do the reading, it is staggering.

Incapsulated joy

I don’t normally post videos, however this made me laugh more that anything for a while. Lovely.

I was fannying around on my work PC yesterday trying to send a pop up message to a mate on a PC across the office and messed up the syntax typing..

NET SEND /DOMAIN <computername> poop

I now know that doing this sends the message “poop” to every single PC in the UK domain of my company (basically most of the machines on this site).

It’s a good job our I.T. manager has a sense of humour.

Humanity = 0

I just got a text from my good friend John who says “OK. So, I’m in Bridport and I’m geting a burger and this guy stands next to me. So I took a photo of his tatoo. What do you make of this?”

..What the juddering Christfingers?!?

Presumably he doesn’t have the burden of having to wory about job interviews then.

Cheers John!

 

My cat’s got thrush.

Lisa turned round yesterday to find the cat staring at her silently from the floor with a mouth full of thrush which she had to prise from its jaws. Then this morning I was making some tea when a stocky frog jumped out from under the fridge into the cats water bowl. I wish someone could have seen me trying to juggle it out of the door like a green bar of soap with massive super springy legs. 5 minutes of comedy gold.

So anyway, to celebrate the cats latest rampage, here’s a picture of her beak.
