Evolution of a hack

Dec 06, 2007 14:09

The other day someone discovered that they could remotely set the status message on the front of the printer.
At first it just said something like "Out of cheese error" for a few hours. Then another couple of people discovered it, and the message changed more frequently. Messages became sillier. Today it seemed to mainly be rotating between "$name is gay", and ASCII art.

My contribution was to get it to play Nethack.
Although I'm worried if the constant HPL commands might be stopping it from actually printing..

nethack, laserjet, hack
