I'm procrastinating at work and installing random packages with CLI that are just fun to mess with. Recently I've been looking up all my co-workers with Sherlock, just for fun. Does anyone else have CLI stuff that they like to screw with when they're bored?

If you're enjoying Sherlock, why not try Metasploit?

In another direction, perhaps the most CLI fun I've had at work was using the phosphor hack of XScreenSaver and piping a lot of useful info to it.

Download ADRIFT or FROTZ, and play porn interactive fiction.
