a fun trick to play on your friendly sysadmin/user

  1. find a video on youtube you know they will recognise
  2. use your favourite youtube downloading mechanism (I used catchvideo)
  3. put the flv somewhere you know
  4. append the following to their .bashrc:
  5. resize -s 60 170 ; mplayer -vo caca -framedrop -quiet -really-quiet -loop 0 /home/bob/video.flv
  6. wait for them to log in with putty
  7. enjoy

keep on truckin’ jozza
