While I was heading out one day from DIGM classes, I noticed one of the computers had this typed into the DOS prompt. Looks like someone had a crack at a terminal joke while the computer was being wiped with Norton Ghost!
While I didn’t get to grab another photo of it, it stayed like that for another couple days. So the joke was around for a bit.
Well, from seeing all those shows on TV, I never thought I’d see this happen. I got stuck inside when the doors failed to open on the second floor. Then the emergency key wasn’t inside, and the emergency info led to the campus security.
So my sister and I were stuck there for about 30-40 minutes until they got it open. The fire department were the ones who ultimate had to force the doors open. At least we weren’t stuck halfway or something.
By far, the ETSU library is one of my most favorite places of campus. It is a partial shame that parking is horrible to access.
One thing I’ve grown to love, is the late hours that you can use to step into the library. I strolled in about 10:16 at night when I grabbed this shot,
The ceiling always gave me the vibe that I was someplace grand. Like Washington D.C, a more classic subway, heck even a museum. Something with class and gravitas.
Definitely a far cry from Walters State library.
On the way back home from Charlotte, Dad decided he didn’t need the GPS anymore. I still let it keep running although it wasn’t on the dash any longer, and promptly went to sleep.
I woke up as we just entered Shelby, to a repeated pattern of beeping noises. I look down and see that the GPS had a series of Zs dotted across the search bar. That’s not even mentioning how it even got into the international keyboard.
The first thing that came to mind was how that it got into that menu. But more prevalent was an old Reader’s Digest joke about a guy who was on a plane, fell asleep and his finger was on the “Z” key. I was in disbelief that this happened years later from reading that (2007 or so, I think.)
I couldn’t make this up if I tried.
I love my new tablet. It’s like I’m living a century in the future. I don’t need to carry my laptop everywhere.
But sometimes it gets bugs. And when it loses the Internet connection, strange things happen. As with here.
I would think with such temperature ranges, we’d all be dead by now. -_-;;
For years I imagined that digital billboards would be a thing of the future. I had NO idea that it would be this recent! While this was a welcome development, there were still bugs to iron out. I caught this one night with my family when we stopped somewhere. This Wendy’s menu in-restaurant was running on Windows 7 and needed to run and update. Typical Windows.
This was a photo I took before I left my cousin’s place for Memorial weekend, showing off my A100 Iconia functioning as a GPS. I thought it’d be an interesting shot to show a sports car from the 90s with advanced tech. I should actually do this with my Camry sometime.
There’s a number of things I’ve seen while going around ETSU, and I’ve not always been in the frame of mind or situation to grab a photo of all of them.
That said, I’ve been able to break that trend occasionally. This is one of those times.
My cousin and I had gone out to grab something from someone’s printer in another room, which was down the hall form his dorm. This person in question had one of those shared, Internet IP printers, so you could print remotely.
We grab his assignment, head back to his dorm and encounter this odd sight at 2AM in the morning; a fork in the middle of the floor.
It definitely surprised me, especially since the floor was clear when we’d passed before. My cousin hadn’t noticed it or paid attention, but I stopped him and grabbed a photo. I also had him stick his foot in for reference. I think I was on the lines of “you could’ve faked this, show someone else in the photo” for some reason.
Paranormal fork? I don’t think so. But someone had to dash through that hallway and accidentally lost silverware within a 3 minute timespan.
I don’t quite remember where this is, but this is headed up on the way home somewhere on I-95. Pretty sure we left Florida at this point; while the photo is blurry, you can see we had 140 miles till the South Carolina I-26 exit. Also you get a good shot of my Acer Iconia A100 tablet. Works pretty well as a GPS once you solve it’s power issues and get it’s map data.
