MIT's Bathroom Server

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the leave-the-seat-down dept.

It's a pretty good idea-- you can scout your stall from your dorm room, and watch it to make sure nobody's taken a s$#% there recently."

    mua-ha-ha. since the laundry server only serves teeny gobs of text, though, it seems like it's resisted the slashdotting.

    you can't be from Random though, noone there has 6 girlfriends :)

    oh, and while the web page for bathroom.mit.edu still seems to be too slashdotted to view, anyone with finger can finger bathroom@bathroom.mit.edu and get a current status in text.
