(which shall remain nameless), and he started reminiscing about some of the
IT hacks that our company did. Like running 10BaseT down a storm water drain
to connect two buildings, using a dripping tap to keep the sewerage U-bend full
of water in a computer room, (huh?). And some not so strange ones like running
SCSI out to 100m, and running a major financial system on a long forgotten computer
in a cupboard.
I know that there must be a plethora of IT hacks around. What are some you've seen?
