heh. Laws to funny things to people.
Was walking home from school (early of course because i dont need to go to Intro Cacl,
i got out of shitty focus group, and ive been suspended from Info Sys :D ) when i got to these traffic lights and waited for the lights to change. The lights must have bee
n orange as this young guy in a ute doing about 60 drove right up to the lights but th
en they changed red. Presumably he didnt want to go through the red light and risk get
ting a ticket so he slams on his breaks and slides halfway into the intersection. Did’
nt want to go through the light because it wasnt safe? no i think he didnt want the fi
ne :)
mm…funny things them laws them.

Well…today has certainly been amusing.

9:30am i rock up to Info Systems to work on the *fun* excel stuff our teacher has us doing. About 10:20 i notice everyone sending lots of messages accross the network and write a small batch script which indefinately loops into sending a message to the user…Unfortunately the user had logged off and Windows NT4 buffers the messages until the next user logs on (yes that is an extremly helpful feature to have, thankyou so much Microsoft).

Following this at about 10:40 while i was in G+T some extremly aggrivated
woman with PMS pulls me out of class to scream at me and send me to the deputy principal. Usually the deputy is the big bad wolf teachers send you to and you go through a meat grinder once you get there. Not so, i was informed that i was now suspended from Info Systems for a week from sending that message.

It seems that my nice Info Systems teacher had seen the message and must have had a fit thinking it was someone trying to r00t their systems and talked to the crazy woman who pulled me out of class. And see i
happen to know he is a moron now because it has only just occurred to him today to disable netbios messaging. What a chump. Don’t you just love it when the authorities pick you up, slap you on the wrist and send you home again? :)
