# thing is my boss told me i could
though i think he told me to pick it up at the weekend just so i'd have to spend 20 minutes expaining it all to the security guard.

# Ah, procurement
the fine art of going through the skip outside the uni IT dept back entrance on a friday afternoon when they throw out the "useless" stuff.

Like 5 lots of coax network cabling that could touch the ground when hung out of my 5th floor window. Or the full-height rack-mount cabinet with the glass door that we couldn't lift to take home on the tube :o(

Those were the days
