Snag a screenshot of a remote console with LSGrab

It's not often that the help desk people get any love, either in the form of praise, or in the form of software designed to make their jobs easier.

Well, here's a little love.

LSGrab, a freeware application designed by Moernaut.com software, allows you to take a screenshot of a remote Windows computer. The footprint is small, and the execution is flawless; another example of DWIS software (Does What It Says, for the layman).

Think of the time-saving possibilities: rather than having to walk a remote client through the method of taking a screenshot, simply open LSGrab, type, click, and it's done.

LSGrab is available as a console or a GUI version. With the console version, there's two command-line switches:

/c: specifies the computer name
/p: specifies the path to store the screenshot

The GUI version does the same; its only advantage is, you guessed it, the interface.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
