Geeks April fool pranks at work

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Follow Mr Dilbert and his adventures of all the ‘nice’ April fool panks that you can pull off at work.

I particularly like the one where by you make a screen shot of a colleague’s desktop and set it as the desktop background. Then we move all the files away from the desktop and put into a folder in their my documents, name the folder April Fool 2008. Your colleague when back to use their computer, will try to click on the picture icons on the background. Hahahaha. Oops do I sound evil…hehe

Oh, Mobile.islikethat.com will have less blog post for the next few weeks. Need to prepare for a important presentation and afterwhich, a short holiday at Phuket, Thailand!
