Wow. Remember the good ol days of IRC? When you could join a channel full of like-minded folks and just shoot the shit? What the hall has happened to IRC? I just spent a good 2 hours searching DALNet, UnderNet, and EFNet for a decent channel to pop in on. All I found was one channel that *WAS* good the last time I was on this wretched night shift. Turns out, I’m banned from that channel… STILL. I got banned from the channel during my last stint on nights for popping a URL into the chat (of all things)… Someone asked about linux… and well, you know how I am about that… This was toward the end of my last night shift run. Some of the folks told me at that time that I should give it a week or so and try again as the ban would likely be lifted… Well, I ended up going to days, and having less and less spare time to chat in IRC so I never returned. Now, since the fates have decided I belong on nights again, I decided to visit the old channel… Still banned! GRRR…

So, yeah… What’s my point? Uhm… IRC SUCKS NOW! SHIT!! I mean, we still have FreeNode which rules if you are getting geeky and coding, but FreeNode isn’t really a “shoot-the-shit” network… At least not that I’ve encountered. So, there’s my late night rant. If you know of any good IRC channels, hit me up!

The end of this flash animation is hilarious!!!

Aaaaaahhhhh!

Just had to share this little internet pearl:

Crazy Frog

Just a quick update here on the homefront. Rhys is walking!!! Not just the step-step-step-thud walking, either. He’s taking corners and turning around and everything! He doesn’t seem to be too comfortable with his new found propulsion, however. He screams the whole time he is on his own. :)

Not much to blog about lately. That or I’ve just not been in the mood… Dunno… But anyway. More later. :)
