Back in 2003 or 2004 I was at University and my best friend went there too, a year behind me so different lives.
He’s a brilliant software developer today and we ran amok digitally before the age of 18 and things really got serious. Free Kevin. We had that spirit.
I was playing music and hanging out with Mary Jane and he got a job with campus IT. Through his personal explorations he gained access to the Admin of the campus AV system. I mean the entire thing - if it was connected, he could control it. I doubt that was in his job description or assigned permissions, but I didn’t ask.
His way of proving it is you could tell him “I’m in Calculus II at 11-12:30 on Tuesday in Building X Room XXX” and at 11:55 the overhead projector would turn on magically but because it wasn’t connected to anything locally it was just the light. Off, then on again, then off for good.
A little disruptive but hey it’s higher education and that taught me a valuable lesson about willpower and mischievousness with a Kokopelli spirit.
