I lock and unlock my computer with a Griffin AirClick remote, and as I lock the computer, my messenger status changes to away, and as I unlock it, it changes back to available.

  • LOL!!

  • sure its useless, but YEAH! i want one!

  • thats what you called your company? what does it do?

  • Well actually it was a series of apps working together. The locking app was DeskShade, the one for triggering sounds and running applescripts with the Griffin remote was Proxi. Everything else was just applescript. I've since misplaced the applescripts, but they're simple. I hope this helps.

  • Uhh, it was just me being bored, dude. Not like a total solution for safety. It was supposed to be a solution for me not having a real apple remote, and having an old PPC mini.

  • Can you share that app???

  • just brilliant 'LOCKING' something Window has had for years, and what happens if some steals the romote, i would prefer biometrics

  • Sounds like central locking for cars lol.

  • Oh really useful. Please let my company buy this from you. We are called UselessShit Trading Company (USTC). Contact me via AOL messenger or through youtube.

  • very cool =)
