Skittles Hacks

It’s been a long time since I last posted anything on the good ol’ Netbasic blog so I thought I’d try and get back into the swing of things by announcing my newest achievement in the office - hacking the skittles machine.
For way too long Jon has been king of the skittles dispenser (it is his after all), and taking all our hard earned change for just 4 miserly skittles at the every turn of the handle - but now we can strike back!
Yes Jon, I can get get skittles out of the machine without cash and without undoing the top! A slight turn of the handle, a short sharp shake at the right angle and out they come, one by one.
Winner!
So what does this mean for office politics from this point forwards? Well, Jon’s power has certainly been undermined as the Sultan of sweets, but beyond that I don’t really know. I’d like to think this is somewhat akin to the demolition of the Berlin wall, and the ensuing freedom that resulted, just with me in the Hasslehoff role!
So there you are, one in the eye for the design - tech triumphs again! Now where’s my Baywatch outfit…?
