Memorable Moments
- During technical issues during Darts night Roses 2018, pressurized Lancaster IT into letting him into the comms room and promptly force-restarted the troublesome interface by power cycling a PoE injector.
- During Freshers week 2018, the great hard-drive dedening happened, where 4 different servers with incomplete backups went down multiple times requiring rebuilding and re-routing of critical systems around them. During this week Isaac managed only 16 hours of sleep between Saturday and Friday, and once the final disk was resilvered and the backup system restored on bup0 at 11am on the Friday, promptly fell asleep on the floor of stores for 10 hours.
- Following the Jordan Cameron "Knee incident", with Daniel Roberts dramatically ran out of a POPL lecture in Piazza Building and made the 1.3 mile sprint with a heavy laptop bag to the station in just under 10 minutes between the first silence email to bursting into stores, arriving shortly before Danny who had taken the same route on a bike.
- Along with Jacob Dicker + Tom Lee and Edwin Barnes of YSTV drove over the Pennines to Lancaster before Roses. Also in a different incident dropped LA:1's £Insane 8K camera in it's flightcase.
- Being rang by BailriggFM's engineer for advice on how their transmitter works.
