Conan The Librarian

(not guaranteed to work with OS X 10.5 or higher)

What is Conan the Librarian X?

A torture tool. Conan tells you to shut up when the incoming sound on your built in microphone reaches certain levels. This is a port of a very, very old System 7 extension for the Macintosh. It was one of my favorite useless apps for the Classic Mac OS.

How do I use Conan the Librarian X?

Ideally, you should install this app on the Mac of someone you hate. I have a list of 67 people, personally. Once installed on the Macintosh of your foe, double click the icon to launch. It runs as a faceless background application, so it will look as if nothing has happened. When running, Conan the Librarian listens in on the built in microphone. When the sound level gets to a certain point, it will tell you to shut up. The more sound that comes in, the angrier the Governor gets. If you need to kill the application because your life is being threatened, open up a Terminal window and type in the following command:

killall QUIT "Conan The Librarian"

Version 1.2 is Universal Binary.

If Conan is too sensitive to sounds, try lowering the Input Volume in the System Preferences (under Sound->Input).

Disclaimer

I make no guarantees about this app. It may destroy you, your computer, your friends computer, your cat, your credit rating, etc. I am in no way responsible for ANYTHING tragic happening to you or anyone you choose to torture with this app. Use at your own risk.

Conan the Librarian X is 159% freeware. You may redistribute the application as you see fit, without notification to myself, as long as no fee is collected.

Conan the Librarian was originally written by Neil Day in 1992. I cannot find his email address. Anyway, the original Conan and sounds are ©1992 Neil Day.
