من به تازگی ناهار برای برادر من خریداری (به طور معمول) and we ended up talking about funny things that we did at our respective colleges. At my alma mater, لافایت کالج, the academic support IT department had a very inclusive way about it. We were given a LOT of rope and I took advantage of that at times.
دو خاطره مورد علاقه من مربوط به دوست خوب من, Gabe. He had made the terrible mistake of telling people his freshman year that "I’m a freshman, اما من ایستاده دانشجوی سال دوم" با توجه به طبقات مختلف قرار دادن پیشرفته او گرفته بود, غیره. Many of us were similarly situated but we didn’t talk about it so much. His senior year, هنگامی که ما او را به مردم معرفی, we’d say "This is Gabe. He’s a Senior, but he has Sophomore standing".
The college had some Sun workstation/servers running X-Window. They had gigantic monitors and the engineers used them for CAD and other boring engineer stuff. We CS people used them to learn programming and, البته, برای استفاده از بازیهای.
ما مانند مهندسان کامپیوتر درمانده به آنجا یکی از چیزهای مورد علاقه خود را به انجام به شبکه راه دور به جعبه می شوند که در آنها بودند و اجرا X-چشم on them. This would pop up a pair of eyes that followed the mouse around on the screen. You could pop up even more and have literally a dozen or more of the X-eye applications running. سعی کنید وقتی یک مهندس بدبخت سعی می کند ایکس ایکس را بعد از چشم ایکس ببندد و زیر لب درباره آن غرغر می کند بلند نخندید 🙂
We also played X-trek on those boxes. برای انجام این کار, شما تا به حال برای دانلود منبع, get various dependencies wherever you could find them and build it. I wasn’t a sophisticated C programmer, but I could read header files. I was looking through these and found directives like "#DEFINE MAX_TORPEDO_DISTANCE 10". I played around with that increase range and power for phases and torpedoes, دوباره ساخته شده است و سپس به نابود گیب دفعه بعد ما بازی.
گیب همچنین از طرفداران بزرگ از یک برنامه تلویزیونی به نام بود بلیک 7. I had never seen it, اما که من از اصرار دارد که دکتر جلوگیری نمی کند. Who is the superior show. بحث ها گاهی داغ می شد 🙂
یک روز, it occurred to me that I could probably guess his UNIX password. I sat down next to him one day and announced in a loud tone, "I’m going to guess your password right now, Gabe." "Yeah, راست" was his answer. I then logged in, شناسه کاربری خود را وارد شدند, تبدیل به چهره او, تایپ شده و با صدای بلند گفت:, "I wonder if it’s B-L-A-K-E-7" ? Touch typing has never paid off as handsomely as it did that day.
هفته بعد (و یا به زودی): More computer room antics from college.
