Linux from the command line -- Having a little fun feigning productivity

Linux from the command line -- Having a little fun feigning productivity

Back in the day a lot of games and goof off software had a "Boss mode", the idea being the if you were playing at work you could hit this hot key and the game would pause and pop up a phony screen that made it look like you were busy working. Most often a spreadsheet page.
If you're a Linux admin, you can also play this game with these tools. Some of them are also good for use when wanting to shoot a fake hacker scene in your indie movie.

  1. Daniel Bull Yeah, blessed-contrib is more work to setup, but it's especially cool. Even cooler is that you can configure it to use real apps and data and make a functional display from it.
    Might be fun in a data centre.
