Back to the Kleen Brite factory... not all that much to say about the place, but you can't go wrong with industrial rust. The company went under, and left everything, right down to half done experiments in the labs This place must have been a nightmare for the plumbers Need any caps for anything? Photo album here
So this is it. The big one. The white whale. The greatest and last frontier for Rochester exploring. Like everyone else, I've had a few goes at it. Nothing any good, there's almost never a way in. So you can imagine my surprise when Ian calls and says it's open RIGHT NOW. Even then I didn't believe it; there had been enough of these kind of false starts before that the only thing they found is the same high up window again. But this time was nothing of the sort: the FRONT DOOR (!) had a wide open board. And…
Back to the familiar Sykes Datatronics building, with about 50 people from the UR group in tow this time! The biggest change from last year is the fresh graffiti, looks like the anarchists had something going here over the summer... I'm actually kind of sad I missed this Ancient keyboards are a pretty common thing here. They seem to have held up a lot better than any other computer parts. I think I found an internet! One imposing building from this side May '68 + January '07 = this Bad Business More HDR weirdness. Still not sure I like this...…
OK, I'm just a bit weirded out by this. Anyone know who did this, or if it's really a message to me? This is the largest one I've seen, but not the only one this summer. Please comment if you have any clues, or if you are Mike.
I really needed a success today... Failmeet 2010 lived up to its name in so many epic ways, and it's looking like what was supposed to be my coming out as an explorer is actually about to be my disastrous fall from any semblance of respect. Took yet another temp-ban from UER today, and they gave me an ultimatum of explore somewhere new and quit or get banned. (Yes, you should be just as confused as me, this doesn't seem like a good set of options at all.) So I found a new place in Brockport, and convinced Ian to…
Does it still count when you can just tell they only met me out of pity? A cool spot but not much of an explore, which is probably the only reason two real explorers could be trusted to take me there. As expected, it wasn't much but awkward, Yield and CuriousGeorge curiously didn't want to be anywhere near me, being far above my level and loath to waste their time on someone so useless, in such a pointless place. I only took one photo worth saving (and experimenting heavily with HDR)
