pilotdave 0 #1 June 11, 2003 Sangiro, with all the fancy CGI that this site uses, it shouldnt be too hard to change color schemes and stuff on the fly, right? How about making a version of the site that looks like microsoft excel or word or something. Hell, anything in black and white with no pics would work. Just has to be convincing enough for the people walking by and the occasional boss sneaking up. This is killing me having to do work at work!

Laurel 0 #2 June 11, 2003 That's what the "minimize" button at the top right of your page is for. You must be quick, grasshopper...................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #6 June 11, 2003 Actually once I have real work to do I won't mind so much. But right now my biggest goal here is to stay out of everyone elses hair so they can get their work done without babysitting me. But I don't have any REAL work to do so I have been doing some online training and reading the "Comanche familiarization" manual which is cool but it gets boring after a while. It goes into detail about every (unclassified) system on the helicopter. Shows pics of every freaking valve in the hydraulic system and stuff. Very interesting reading, but dry. Once I get all trained and I really get work that I can do, I'll have plenty to occupy my time. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeedToJump 0 #10 June 11, 2003 use alt-tab (switch to another application) or alt-space-n (minimize) that way you can come back to it when your boss is gone, you've still gotta know the boss is there though, mine just walked out for a few minutes Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chivo 0 #12 June 11, 2003 LOL! I took a snapshot of my development environment and have that as my windows background. When the boss is coming, all I do is press to minimize all the windows. When the background is visible, it looks like I'm actually doing some work... unless they look at the buttons of IE in the taskbar. ~Chivo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magistr8 0 #16 June 11, 2003 Wow I have been trying to find a hotkey to minimizefor months now thank you. I however am blessed in that I have about 20 apps running just to do my job, and not only that but I need to be on the internet and can pretty much go anywhere I want to all a part of the job.

darkvapor 0 #17 June 12, 2003 There is a web-browswer that looks like an excel spreadsheet and has quick shortcuts to switch views (and moving the mouse in a certain way). I'll be damned if I can find it again though. I saw it on some technology show on TV. It's made specifically for what you want to do.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
