So I came into work this morning, turned on my monitors, pressed Ctrl + Alt + Del to get into the password screen, then find that the password field is being typed into and then the enter button is being pressed.

FUCK! I am being hacked I thought. Or something was running on my computer that was trying to put in my password.

So I restart my computer, and then try to get to the source of the problem. Everything seems fine now and nothing is running that would cause this, so I start working on a project in visual studio. Open up a file, scroll down half the page, and then suddenly it goes back to the top of the page! so I scroll down again, then back to the top of the page it goes and i notice O's and P's being entered at the top of the file and the return key being pressed.

FUCK! Something is running on my computer. So quickly I press the power button to shut everything down.

The computer starts running a disk check etc... because it was not turned down properly, so I decide to go make coffee for everyone while i wait. We are all laughing about a note left by the cleaner after someone wrote some rude stuff in the dust, and I start to think.

"Where is the Keyboard that I used to use which is still attached to my computer via the wireless thing?" (i still use the mouse).

I find it on the other side of the room under another keyboard, but there is no way it could work from such a distance! can it?

When the computer starts back up again I test the theory. Sure enough the keyboard works from the other side of the room, and because there was another keyboard sitting on top of it, it must have been pressing keys.

Bloody cleaner must have moved stuff about! BUT the funny thing is, they keyboard never worked on my desk and that is why i got rid of it!

lol. An old trick I often do is swap the mouses around at uni, where the pc's on on rows of about 10. It's always great watching people panic when they see their mouse moving on it's own.

I used to do stuff like that when I was at school, or plug your mouse in one of their back usb ports before they logged on.

I have one of them fang game pad things, the stand alone ones...

I tuck it under, and back behind my crt while not using it...

While computer is booting its constantly making that error sound from the mother board and I was like "fuck!" (direct quote)
scared the shit out of me, rebooted before windows even loaded... still did it. God I don't need to deal with broken computer....

look up, and I had pushed it under the lower part of my monitor so a key was being held down.



My wireless keyboard just crapped out, so i bust out the old one... I have taken it apart  a few times because I was mapping out the keyboard controller to use for the joysticks of an arcade I was planning on building... same type of thing as before ended up happing... finally I realized that the "spring" that lifts the key back up was flipped sideways so it would only push the key back up sometimes...


Stupid computers....
