I have a couple: 1.-When i was like 14 i went to a school where they teach you how to use a computer, i picked up everything really fast and found out that they recorded student payments in a csv file, the file was in a shared folder in a windows 95 machine, editing the csv to add my name and amount paid was really exciting. 2.-There was a series of flash animations named HuevoCartoon you could see them in their website but if you saved the swf it would jump to the end so i used HIEW to open the swf and if i recall correctly it had a script that checked if you had the swf open in a browser and if the url in the address bar was a specific one, well so what i did is 090 the whole instruction and i could play it offline, i remember sharing them with my friends at school, eventually those guys decided to do that check every frame so i wrote a tool in C to look for it and 090 the instructions. 3.-One day i did not have too much to do at work and i was talking with a friend and he explained how bored he was with his job, what he did then, it was take a set of 3 pdf files and create an xml with the file names and put them in a zip file with a name structure like john_doe_12345678_xrftv and upload the file to a server , well i told him to install python and i wrote a script that would automate all that, it took like 5 minutes to generate the xml and the zip file for like 20,000 sets, so he spend almost all the time playing battlefield 3 and on Friday he would upload a little bit more than his boss was expecting, it was a contract for 6 months, he finished his job a couple of weeks ahead and got a bonus and a job offer, he is still working for that company and is a really good Python coder, he decided to learn after that experience.
