Doubt it, seems the school has returned to the ways of Gerth in that everything is secretive and no self promotion occurs. I view it as a typical government agency not tooting its horn while at the same time holding out its hand for welfare from the State. I sure wish we were a private school or at least a school that could be proud of its accomplishments and not hiding behind we are destitute please spare us a dime mentality.
Nothing is secretive about this project...drove by there the other day and looks like the leveling of the dirt has been completed...saw the laser level equipment out there...this school has not returned to the "Gerth ways" :roll:
This dude is obviously a wingnut and wingnuts cannot be discouraged from delusional self-righteous beliefs. C'mon: not wrapping a turf installation project with golden ribbons? This is an
academic institution, its mission isn't providing a mere handful of interested parties mostly static photos of a relatively uninteresting project. Drive by from time to time you fat, lazy bastards.
I especially like how its painted as a deus ex machina: the reason a internet-ready service can't be plunked down in a remote area of campus is because The Man is Keeping It Down, not that its an academic institution who'd rather not rig power, data, maintenance, some guy in a truck, some work orders, some purchase orders, takedowns for same, etc, etc. Just like plugging it into your desktop, right? How hard can that be? Honestly, if I saw a webcam put up for this (or most other projects around campus) I'd consider it money -wasted-.
Guess what, guys: the reason the university whines it doesn't have any money is, surprise, they don't have any money. CA education has been defunded -- thems facts you can look up, presuming you've actually learned any of those skills.
