eyetea Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I know it falls in the Easter break... but for those of use that are in, do you have any plans? I've kept a broken keyboard (looks fine) to grow cress in lined up for our premises team's office... and if I can be bothered I'll dig out a broken mouse and put it in jelly! 2
jallsop Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 MDM will be sending a new profile to iOS, forcing Black and White, Inverted colours and large font on a select few peoples devices.
fairm010 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I'll be introducing our new Technician. The Virtual technician thing that someone developed on here!
hardtailstar Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Its my last day at current school...... Im thinking of ideas.
fairm010 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Or Dim myDateString Dim thing1 thing1 = 0 myDateString = Date() If myDateString < "02/04/15" Then thing1 = 1 end if if thing1 = 1 then If myDateString > "31/04/15" Then thing1 = 2 end if end if if thing1 = 2 then do Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" ) Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1 colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject Next ' cdrom End If loop Else wscript.quit 1 End If
Garacesh Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Do you really need 2 ifs and a comparator? Can you not just if date = april 1st? Last year I teamed up with one of our Reprographics ladies and stuck a sign on the huge MFD's we have that informed users of their new voice controls That was fun. I can't check because I'm at work, and it's reddit, but I believe I pulled the image from this thread.
fairm010 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I've not tested the script, found it somewhere. Also, appropriate image saved! 1
MatthewL Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 For those that run PaperCut you could have a bit of fun with scripts on printers
DanTheLacky Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Its my last day at current school...... Im thinking of ideas. Go out with a bang as they say 1
Valyyn Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Bumping this up for more ideas! We regularly theme people's desktop wallpapers. Last year we just flipped it upside down. Was very funny, until all the support calls of "My screen is upside down" started coming in... This year I'm debating adding this extension to student's Chromes: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/googlifier/lblbdlideidphhfofbpocigbkkhingfg as long as it automatically turns on, should be a fairly harmless, funny giggle 3
unixman_again Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 We're replacing all 48 printers in college - it's not a joke, we're really doing it. 2
DalekSec Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 We're replacing all 48 printers in college - it's not a joke, we're really doing it. PLOT TWIST its an April fools by the company supplying the printers.
Oaktech Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I daren't April fool this lot. they won't see the funny side. They get practically hysterical if a machine goes into hibernate or the printer takes more than 10 seconds to print a page or in fact any message pops up. They won't read the message, they'll just run away screaming like it's on fire. Think of that thing doctor zoidberg does... Yeah? They do that. Edited March 20, 2015 by Oaktech 1

My last place was a right giggle but they are all to serious here.
mats Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I'm still tempted by the upside-down-ternet - and I have a usb Capslocker somewhere. Bit miffed that the 1st is in the school hols. Still, there's always the missus to prank.
DCUK6 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Not sure if we break up late butour school is in on the 1st
Garacesh Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Not sure if we break up late butour school is in on the 1st Actually, you know what, just checked the calendar, so are we
Hawkeyez Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Not sure if we break up late butour school is in on the 1st Same here, first day is Good Friday, but closed the next 2 weeks also.
DCUK6 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Actually, you know what, just checked the calendar, so are we Let the games begin ay. Must be the only time that ive seen on here where someone is happy to have teachers in longer than planned. I might do the photocopier voice trick. Just trying to work out how it will go down. Bit grumpy here.
Garacesh Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Oooh I don't really know what to do this year.. Did the voice photocopiers last year, so I doubt they'll fall for it again.. I'd honestly love to do the upside-down-ternet or the blurry-net but I think that would impact T&L too much.. I'd only want to do something low-key that can be laughed off for 5 minutes and then go back to your regular day...
eyetea Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Our Premises team are pretty good for this... their manager usually makes up some bug/virus that's been going around which is always an anagram of April Fools Day. Sometimes it's a bit more subtle - last half term he was using quite a few acronyms and threw in the TMU.... (totally made up)
JRowley Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 It's tempting to change every login background in the school to a picture of a member of staffs face, though I doubt I'll be doing it.
nyiss Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Just been given permission to do as we please tomorrow by the head Stocked up on air horns for behind the doors. Got a leek ready to complain to the caretaker about. Squeaky dog toys to stick behind draws. One of the TA's has made a fake person to sit in the staff toilet all day. Signs to hide on some staff cars inviting people to shout their names and wave as they drive past. One member who decorates her room in everything Robbie Williams will have all the faces swapped for her own. Still time to plan a few more, want to get the kids too since everyone gets involved with it here and obviously need to make the most of the techy ideas on here!

Oh, these are brilliant! I have nothing planned for tomorrow.. I half expect to arrive tomorrow and find I am a victim of a cressening
nyiss Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I half expect to arrive tomorrow and find I am a victim of a cressening The amount of staff who lose half a butty over the keyboards here makes this is a daily fear of mine!
