University is closed for a week. Don't know if this is good or bad :hmm:

depends. have the students already made a run on the local beer supply?


I'm from hurricane country, and this is pretty much the first stop after everything's all torn up.

Damn, your Antec 902 was almost crushed.

Oh, and being next to those buildings with all the brick on the ground and crushed cars would have been pretty bad. . .

Haha it's funny, on my desk right next to the Antec 902 was a half-full cup of coffee. If it had shaken off the desk it would have spilled right into that top-mounted fan :p Lucky.

It's magic coffee! Drink it, it will give you speciaaaaal powerssssss!!!*






*or probably it will just give you explosive diarrhea so bad it will make you think you are experiencing an aftershock

Heh, I used to study at that University, wouldn't have minded a week of at the time.

We only had a few minor earthquakes while I was there though, nothing like this.

Funny you took a pic of Manchester street, I saw scenes from that very square this morning on the local news (10:00am currently here in MA)

Ugh, the university term has been pushed back a further week due to some nasty aftershocks. I was supposed to go back to school this past Monday, now they're saying not until Monday the 20th September. It's going to be an interesting semester.
