ok... So then i just need to leave him logged in, correct?

Also, does switching users mess this up at all?

I am not entirely sure if switching users would mess this up. I don't expect it to.

Yes, you have to log in, set this up, then walk away...

ALSO, here is a new version that lets you take additional pictures: http://localhostr.com/files/f7dc2c/iSight+Spycam+V4.zip

It will take them immediately after it takes the first one.

EDIT: Ok, I just tried this on myself after going to the login screen (but staying logged in). Switching users had no effect on it, and it worked fine...

Well, I've taken the time and effort to make you a little app that does just what you want!

That's a nice thing to do!

Yeah, this thread is quite funny. So is the app. I'm definitely interested in future events, ramifications, and pictures :)D) of this app.

and i figured it might be worth since it seems we have a nice audience here, which in turn would make the prank that much better.

You are awesome..

Expect a Link to Pictures as soon as it happens, and I'll try to get this on digg when its up... to further humiliate him, and to give you some credit for your fine work.

Thanks, but remember, give this a vigorous (lol) test. Make sure it all works as planned. :D

It works on my Mac, but make sure it works on his...

you should write a script that plays an audio file when after he accessing the x page! omg.

can you imagine him typing it in, settling in and then all of a sudden, your voice comes BOOMING out yelling at him to stop surfing those sites etc..etc..

keep us posted on the results eh?

Maybe combine the two, with a picture taken, and right after the picture, when he freaks out, the voice comes on…

Then after a minute of silence and he thinks things are back to normal… "I TOLD YOU, GET OFF THAT SITE!"

And then take a picture after that.

:D

EDIT: I updated this version so that you can make it say anything you like!

Awesome little program!

One bug though. It doesn't post the image to the desktop if you have the desktop set to change the background image and intervals.

I'm not sure if I can actually fix that...
