slacker websites?

My wife's new job has her left with, um, ample free time. Un fortunately, she's located where people can view her monitor as they walk by. She can see them coming from her seat though.

I seem to remember a site that had a button to pop open some random spreadsheets/charts/bs/etc. that you could use as a cover for surfing the net, but I haven't been able to find it. Anyone know what it is? Any other sites you'd reccomend?

Windows put these neat little buttons on the bottom of the screen that allows you to "work" while surfing.

I just use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Tab to toggle between my browser and some other "appropriate" program wit a quickness.

In Windows, Alt-Tab, Win-D, Alt-Space-N are all you need to know. No fancy stuff needed.

Oooohhh. Alt+Space+N. Cool.

I remember that Leisure Suit Larry had one of those buttons. Can't remember what it was though. Took you to a fake spreadsheet.

ctrl-alt-down?

There is a website that masks your browser to look like ms word.

Try it

Everything turns upside down

ctrl-alt-up puts it back.

I have been trying to do this on the computers at work and it does not appear to be supported by the video card. I just want to see the reaction from the shop guys, but I haz been denied.

Checkout the ghostfox addon for firefox. Lets you have a browser window open WITHIN any other window (like outlook or excel or whatever) and show/hide it just with mouse movement, no clicks.

Wow, I didn't even know that!

After doing some research it seems to be a feature that comes with Intel's video driver package (and some ATI cards have it too).

I see some serious pranking in the future

And she gets paid to surf the net?

Haha, that's cool.

Ctr + Alt + left/right works, too.

It's $8. She'll love you loooooong time for it!

Will it beam you over to a buddies garage to work on cars?

Will it beam beer into your fridge?

Hah, I like how that thing is described as "disguised as an extension cord," and it's just got a fake plug-in on it with "SECURITY BUTTON" underneath.

Still cool.
