Use Caffeinated to Prevent Windows from Locking

When you don’t have the option to change the timeout on your Windows computer, but you know you are sitting right in front of it and just working from another computer at the same time, and you are fucking sick and tired of having to type the password just to see the screen you were literally reading from in order to work from another computer and another screen, then get Caffeinated a simple utility that does nothing more than essentially wiggle the mouse once in a while (without wiggling it). Your company may have security policies that frown on such things, but most companies also frown on not getting a single fucking thing done because your screen locks up ever five minutes because it thinks you are not there looking at it. Besides, it is better and safer than transforming your Windows machine into a socks proxy or SSH tunnel, something that your company would likely frown upon way more than keeping you laptop from locking while you are sitting in front of it.
