EarthquakeX Description

Your Macintosh will experience random earthquakes What is EarthquakeX?EarthquakeX is a port of an old prank/joke control panel for System 7 called Earthquake. When installed, your Macintosh will experience random earthquakes. This version of EarthquakeX is a bit different from the previous one, but the main features are still the same. The old version, being a control panel, allowed you to set the quake frequency, duration and richter level. This version acts more like an extension; user control over the quaking is not allowed (read tip below, however).How do I use EarthquakeX?Ideally, you should install this on the computer of someone who is smaller and weaker than you. Then simply double click the EarthquakeX icon. It's a faceless background app, so it will look as if nothing has happened. After a few seconds, your Mac should experience a tremor. If you wish to quit EarthquakeX, simply open up a Terminal window and type:killall QUIT "Earthquake"Tip:You can change the frequency of the tremors, if you know how to use the Terminal. On the Mac where EarthquakeX is installed (make sure it isn't running!), open a terminal and type in:defaults write com.stimpsoft.earthquakex quakechance -integer ;Where it says , put the percent with which a quake can happen. There is a chance for a quake every ten seconds. So for example, if you typed in "defaults write com.stimpsoft.earthquakex quakechance -integer 50;", there will be a 50% chance of a quake every 10 seconds. The default chance for a quake is 30%.NOTE: Earthquake was originally created by Marco Carra of SlimyFrog Software in 1994. EarthquakeX is 159% freeware. You may redistribute the application as you see fit, without notification to myself, as long as no fee is collected. What's New in This Release: · Works with OS X 10.4 (Tiger), universal binary.
