On Saturday UCC cleared its stuff out from the Shenton Park storage facility. There was a lot of older computer hardware and unfortunately some of it had to go into the skip [bin]. We took some photos:

• inside the storeroom
• a DECServer 500
• stuff getting piled up outside (see David holding a disk platter)
• our helpful helpers
• some manner of (DEC?) hard disk
• the UCC's first computer — ACC Murphy
• we don't need any more DECTerms
• another hard disk
• disk platters
• two Suns and what looks like some telecoms hardware
• the first Linux box used by University Communication Services
• we found this old sign (as well as a d20 and some unsent 21st birthday invitations)
• we have absolutely no idea what this is
• short break
• the skip full with stuff we couldn't keep

All Photos. Some taken by me, and some taken by Susie.

I hate to be the one to angst about university, but with 4 things to hand in: 1 on Wednesday, 1 on Friday, 1 next week and 1 the week after, plus a test on Thursday, I currently do not feel like I'm coping.

As proof of this, I used 'are' instead of 'our' today. I'm pretty sure that you're only meant to make that mistake in year 1.
