It’s coming up to that time of year as I write this, and I was just poring over mairlistscript.chm, so here’s a harmless way to get even with your ‘enemies’ or rivals at your station on April 1. ;D
Copy the following ‘one-liner’ script and save it as (for example) AF.mls in your mAirList Script directory:
begin
SetApplicationTitle('Jim is a jerk!');
end.Obviously you can change Jim is a jerk! to any mildly evil message you like, such as:
[ul][li]OFF AIR warning![/li]
[li]Internal error 2174[/li]
[li]Virus infection detected[/li][/ul]
or even:
[ul][li]Animal Porn Finder[/li][/ul]
It is probably a good idea to also prepare a script named AFoff.mls, where the text is mAirList: running that script will ‘restore normal service’ afterwards.
When you are operating mAirList, run your AF script when no-one is looking, then call your local techie/station manager over and ask him/her ‘what the heck is going on?!!’ whilst pointing to your PC’s Taskbar and noting the new text on mAirList’s task button.
This will probably drive the poor guy/gal crazy, so I’ll leave it up to you to decide how long you leave them panicking for!
Note some very important things about this ‘prank’ script:
- It absolutely DOES NOT affect ANY functionality in mAirList.
- It absolutely DOES NOT change ANYTHING in any config. files.
- It affects ONLY the currently running copy of mAirList.
- If mAirList is started and stopped, the taskbar button name returns to normal.*
- Only the taskbar button name changes, NOT the mAirList Title Bar.
*… but if they really deserve the torment, you can let your techie stop and restart mAirList, then secretly run the AF script again a few minutes later (‘hey, it’s done it AGAIN! what have you done?’ :o).
