"boss" website?
 

Hi guys, a couple of years back someone recommended a website that, when
you typed in a url, it turned that url's website into something that
looked like an Excel spreadsheet. Aside from being very clever, it was
also useful for pretending to be working when surfing.

I can't for the life of me remember this site's address. It may have
been mentioned here, or in Netguide, or somewhere else that posters here
might have seen it, so I thought I'd check in case it rings any bells.
Searching for "excel boss spreadsheet, etc" hasn't turned it up.

If anyone can recommend such a site, I'd be really grateful - my boss at
work sits immediately behind me and on boring days it's hard to keep
looking busy.

No no, this is a site that turns the actual URL into a spreadsheet look.
It's easy enough to alt-tab when the boss arrives, but my boss sits
behind me permanently so it needs to a full-time disguise.

Ah that's clever, for text. For some reason I was assuming that
you were looking at pictures :)

poke around a bit

Yes, I'd found that page also when Googling. Nearly but not quite the
one I'm looking for. Thanks for posting.
