Following Cables for Fun!

Hi Folks,

I came accross this picture taken a number of years ago now, I just thought I'd share it with you guys. We were in the process of removing equipment from the Data Centre and had followed the cable through to this area, where one of the old patch areas had been.

When we lifted the floor tiles to access the void which I should point out was 24" deep, we found this - the pair of cutters in the picture may let yo know what happened next.

As an aside, after disturbing the tiles I had to leap up and down on them to get them to go back down. So, this is what 45 years of cumulative cabling looks like for anyone that want's to know.

Regards

Dave

flipflop(6x)							XScreenSaver manual						      flipflop(6x)

NAME
flipflop - draws a grid of 3D squares that change positions SYNOPSIS
flipflop [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-count number | -free number] [-size number] [-size-x number] [-size-y number] [-spin number] [-mode sticks | tiles] [-delay number] [-wireframe] [-fps] [-texture] DESCRIPTION
Flipflop draws a grid of 3D colored tiles that change positions with each other. OPTIONS
-visual visual Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. -root Draw on the root window. -count number Number of tiles on the board. A value of "0" means "default". The default number of tiles depends on the size of the board and the mode: 95% of total tiles for "tiles" mode and 80% of total sticks for "sticks" mode (e.g. 76 tiles or 64 sticks for a 9x9 board). -free number Number of tiles missing from the board. See -count. -size number Number of tiles on each side of the board. Takes precedence over -size-x and -size-y. Default: 9. -size-x number Width (in tiles) of the board. Default: 9. -size-y number Length (in tiles) of the board. Default: 9. -spin number Angular velocity for the rotation of the board. -mode sticks Draw hopping sticks instead of flipping tiles. -mode tiles Draw flipping tiles. This is the default. -delay number Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds.). -fps | -no-fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. -wireframe Only draw outlines. -texture | -no-texture Whether to texture the tiles with a screen grab or an image. ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY to get the default host and display number. XENVIRONMENT to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. SEE ALSO
