April Fools!

One of the guys in the KSL web department found some malicious code online last night that would have made every computer in our building display images upside down. He even has access to our server, and was eager and ready to put his plan into action. Unfortunately he shared his idea with a level-headed coworker who talked him out of it. Dang.

On many keyboards if you type Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow it will flip the entire screen image upside down. The funny thing is there are no settings in your computer that will flip it back. You have to hit the same 3 keys again. So if you don't know about it - you're screwed. I spent about 1/2 hour the other day trying to help a coworker fix it when some prankster did this to her. After 30 minutes of me trying everything, the prankster revealed herself and helped us switch it back.

As for me, today I've been waiting until people step away from their computers, then I open the website http://cubo.cc/ on their browser and walk away. Open the link and you'll see why. I did this to Jana last night and she was so creeped out she almost started to cry!

We were going to put a for sale sign up in front of our house today. The reason I didn't do it was because it would actually require some effort. I doubt my laziness will change significantly enough in the future to actually do this, so I hopefully I won't regret sharing it here. Or maybe I should hope I will regret it? I just blew my mind!

If you're still craving more April Fools action, FM100 did a few listener segments on April Fools this morning, and posted a lot of the funny stories on the morning show page. There were other major corporations that went all out, too. Click here for a roundup.

Am I the only person who thinks it's weird we have a holiday where all we do is trick each other?
