Blasting Sound

by Slatan

I have had so much fun with this little program.

The first time I used it, it was truly amazing.  I almost puked, I laughed so hard.  What this program does is exploit the fact that some UNIX's (running Novell on HPs) don't require you to remotely log into another computer to send them a sound.

So as soon as I learned this, the wheels started spinning.  O.K., I was thinking, let's see what I can do to exploit this.  No sooner had I asked myself this than it hit me.  This network isn't really laggy, I wonder how long it would take for me to send a sound to each of the workstations.

So I wrote this little program to see.  First what you need to do is make a list of all the computer names hooked into your network.  Call it list

You also need the program called send_sound, which is installed by the defaulted software on these workstations, so do a search for it.  Place it in the same directory along with the sound files you wish to use.

For my first sound I sent a short zap sound.  I think I got it from a laser blast somewhere.  Oh man, was that funny.  It hit every computer so fast - everyone stood up and looked around as the sound went from computer to computer, from row to row.  It sounded like the Fourth of July in there.

For my next sound, I felt like hearing some applause for my efforts, so I sent a round of applause, which turned out to sound like a rock concert inside there.  By this time the supervisors were very curious to see who was interrupting the workday.  Hehe.

By manipulating the file list I could have the zap sound bounce around the large building I was in, which was fun too.  Be creative - annoy your neighbors and friends!

# To use this program you must have the program send_sound and the 
# sounds you want to send in the same  directory together. 
#
# Change the $HOME to where this program is located.
# Next create a list called "list", in the same directory and put the tube 
# number or numbers you wish to blast. 
#
# Ex: computer715 or whatever the other computer's name is. 
# Then run this program and tab down to the argument box and type in the sound 
# you wish to send. Ex: zap.au 
# Hit OK and bamm you blasted them.
