Thread: A use for BluTac in IT...

And what were tonights????????

My favorite IT type tricks:


1. Take a screen shot, (printscreen) of victims desktop. Save it as a .jpeg
Right click the desktop, un-tick Show desktop icons under arrange icons by.
Replace the existing wallpaper image with your screen shot of the desktop.
Hide the start/taskbar
The result is a computer screen that looks identical but anything they click on wont work.

2. Quicker n easy, just switch the mouse buttons.

3. Set “number of copies” in print options to 200, set it to default.

Get a small bead and place it in the eye of a co-workers optical mouse

Better yet use that clear tape that is almost invisible, just put a finger print on the bit over the optic sensor. Almost invisible but usually reflect the light and stops the mouse working.

In the old days it was even better because an equivalent sized ball of BluTac could be substituted for the mouse ball as it weighed about the same, had the same colour (grey) but certainly didn't work half as well


OK evil thoughts for tonight are over with

you are NEVER getting under the bonnet of my Disco

Swap a few keys on the keyboard stuffs a lot of people up.
Im the old days locking the keyboard wouls stump most people also.

I like this idea, might have to give it a go

How about this one, for those computer people who hate beeps:
1. Purchase an annoyatron
2. Open PC Case
3. Turn item purchased in step 1 to on, with random interval, and a particularly annoying beep.

Sit back and wait for the victim to start pulling their hair out. Even after unplugging the PC the noise is still emitted.

Another option:
1. Remote power kit from Jaycar
2. Wire into computer power supply
3. Wait until user is sufficiently comfortable, then switch off the power to their PC....

Wait an appropriate amount of time, ie. when they have just given up, then switch it back on....

Hours of fun with that one.

You still think I put all those bolts back in place... You just haven;t found the BluTac yet

Glad to hear it's still running!
