Walking Down Memory Lane
I’ve been sorting out my old blogger posts recently, and boy, has it been a real fun ride into the past. Consequently, this has led me to sort out my photos as well. I’m almost done with the sorting, and should be probably finished by end of the month…I hope.
This week was quite an average week, except for two days where I had to be on standby for the sec 2 & 3 CPA/EOA exams in the lab. Despite what was taught to them for their lessons, I can still see some really funny things being done. For example:
- Sending more than 5 print jobs consisting of 4 pages to one printer when it is offline, resulting in a lot of paper wasted
- Not using “Find and Replace” and manually searching the document for the words to be replaced
- Saving a document on a network share that is read-only when they are given a floppy disk to save their work on.
- Some students apparently, are more interested in knowing how I “fix” the printer during their exam time when they should be focusing on the exams at hand.
Finally, I found this super old PC at my block’s lift lobby (could be spring-cleaning for Hari Raya?) - its quite an old system, due to the slow CD writer drive speed, so I guess should be late 2000 to mid 2001 model? Anyway, it was more or less stripped of its essentials - motherboard, hard disk, etc. except for the CD drives, floppy drive and the power supply unit. Feels kind of weird that people actually scavenge for parts whenever a PC is thrown away - it’s like a velociraptor cutting open your torso and ripping your intestines out.
