IDEA: Fake upload
« on: October 31, 2007, 12:54 AM »
I'd like a small dialogbox, to show the uploading of a file that never happens actually. It should take forever... :D

Usage should be like fakeupload.exe myfile.dat, and it should pop up a window showing 'progress'...

I hope you guys understand me.

Greetings.

I think an app like this is very useful for slacking off in work even if a boss is floating around :D

Actually it's an excuse for keeping my pc turned on all day. My mother tends to destroy it / shut it down if it's doing nothing and i'm not on it. Surprise, surprise, i tend to use VNC a lot :-]
