Trollme

How many of us we work in an office, and spend 8 daily hours with our colleagues? How many time did we see their screens unlocked, tempted to apply some changes on their laptops?

That's the purpose of Trollme. Basically is a gem to prank people changing their Desktop Background. You can choose among 6 topics, or just make it random if you prefer.

As well is important to say that right now it just works with Mac. I know it's not 100% fair that it's just supported by one OS. But 90% of my colleagues are working with Mac and the idea of this gem is to prank them... In the future, I can try to arrange it. Why do I want to do that?

Just looking to prank some people in a funny and inoffensive way. At the end we teach them to lock their screens and help the enterprise to apply the ISO Quality Management, don't we?

time to troll!

Installation

Is quite easy:

gem install trollme

Then in your command line terminal, you just have to invoke it $ trollme

In case you want to select one topic, here is the list you can use:

- dogs
- horror
- memes
- nerds
- cats
- sweet

To make it work you just have to specify the topic. Example: $ trollme cats In case you insert a wrong topic or one is not in the list, automatically will fall into random.

Or if you are a Rails developer and you want to super troll them, just hide it in your gemfile gem 'trollme' now just wait until they leave the screen unlocked and just run the command line statement. Cool :)

Other uses

Another use for this gem, is to fork the project, change the YAML file ( just need to respec the format ), and sync with a cronjob. You can have an automated background changer for everyday with the images you want.
