I thought I was cool being able to modify the ready message on printers across the school network. This is really impressive.

I wrote an infinite loop in postscript and sent it to all the printers. This was when postscript printers cost a fortune so there were not many of them. Fun days were those.

In middle school I used Javascript to change Google's button text from "I'm feeling lucky!" to "Andrew is the best!" (javascript:getElementById('').text='blah')

I showed some other students who were so freaked out that I had "hacked Google" that I got the attention of the librarian, who promptly banned me from the library computers for the rest of the year, even after I refreshed the page to show them it wasn't "real". Oof.

Haha when I was searching for printers across the district network the librarian was looking at my screen. She called me out across the room asking why I was looking at printers at a different school. Oof.
