World Cup!

Has anybody done anything crazy to watch the games during the work day? My office split/ran a coax cable from a break room into our office, so we could "monitor" the games. Anybody take sick days?

No sick days, but our team did undertake 'project world cup', an entirely unofficial, no-budget undertaking that involved:

'Borrowing' a server that isn't being used at the moment
Installing a USB TV adapter
Installing a free-to-air digibox
Running an illicit coax from the aerial splitter in the roof above the suspended ceiling into the computer room
Running an illicit audio cable back along the same route to an audio amp and speakers concealed under a desk
Patching the aofrementioned server into the video matrix so we can select it on the 54-inch plasma screen as a device to be 'monitored'

It's been a tremendous piece of teamwork - pity our football team can't follow suit...

Hmmm... bet none of you ever watched the matches over telnet before?

Now watch it using a telnet client running on your cell phone over GPRS.

I dare anyone to top that

Oh, now that is wonderful!

I checked it out a while ago but it always seemed to be over-subscribed!!

At least they're in the quarter-finals.

Haha, great Bishop. I'm just watching the matches for fun now that the U.S. lived up to it's expectations.
