Elliott loves the idea of teasing someone by running an instance of xeyes on their computer without their consent. I keep forgetting how to do this, so I'm writing down the steps so that I can come up with the steps in the heat of the moment.
- log into mom's computer via the server
- export DISPLAY=:0
- xhost +
- xeyes &
- repeat the last step ad nauseum
For further excitement start xeyes up with these options:
xeyes -fg red -center blue -geometry 500x500
