Re: earlier postings, apologies...

Hi, I've just got back in from building up my engine crane and it would appear somebody has been "at play" on my laptop as I left it logged in.

It has been brought to my attention that certain vulgar/offensive posts were made on this account, these were not my own and I wish to apologise to anybody who may have seen these posts or been offended by them. Also I'd like to apologise on behalf of the poster for not being mature enough to use their own computer to do any immature nastiness they see fit.

Will be keeping a closer eye on who's on my laptop from now on... Sorry all.

To be fair I never saw anything.

I did suspect your phone / laptop had been 'sabotaged' as it was totally out of character! No harm done as they were intercepted quite quickly

This happened at my work a lot as a lesson to the young upstarts not to leave a computer unlocked.

They learnt very quickly.

My former manager used to make a habit of leaving his workstation unlocked for hours on end - and leaving highly sensitive data on the desktop.

He learned eventually - after during one lunchtime I went on and changed all of the system colours to white on white, and all the system fonts to Wingdings. Oh, and password protected everything on his desktop.

It cost him buying the whole office pizza to get me to fix it!

Being honest, he never did it again from what I saw.

...Then we moved to a virtual desktop setup which timed out after a minute and required a stupidly long, awkward password (changed frequently) to get back in, which drove everyone round the bend and resulted in almost everyone having a post-it note on their desk with their password on...

Yes, the culprit has been spoken to regarding the issue (and indeed, happened to leave his laptop unattended just hours afterwards, to which end I taught him a lesson on how it feels to be messed with, via a quick search for some embarrassing pictures lol)

The joys of a belligerent teen stepson he's a bugger at times. He's diagnosed (as am I) with Autism and I can see a lot of my younger self in him & his behaviour sometimes. I just hope and pray he doesn't follow my path too closely, I'm happy now with a great family and a fantastic life but I've done some stupid/much regretted things along the way.

Zel, that's pretty hilarious & I'm glad it wasn't the case with my computer. My heart sank when I opened it up and saw my windows account name was something unprintable, I hardly dared type my password thinking it's going to have been changed but thankfully not!
