Andrew: she says you should call her Andrew: also, i saw anna this morning Andrew: http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/01/14/robot9000-and-xkcd-signal-attacking-noise-in-chat/ Andrew: This is why xkcd is awesome Andrew: I'm going to go check the channel out, before it gets too crowded Andrew: like how 4chan is filled with newfags, and myspace is now flooded with spam (though it sucked in the first place) Andrew: you could do a broader post on how online communities turn to shit me: huh, maybe I'll do a post on this Andrew: look for a field that says "hostname" or "server" or somethign like that Andrew: try going to the server list and editing that entry Andrew: you probably named the server "irc.fooneitc.net" without actually telling xchat to connect to host irc.foonetic.net Andrew: I dont remember the syntax in xchat for adding servers, but I remember it being confusing Andrew: irc.foonetic.net me: I did Andrew: add a server me: xchat keeps telling me "unknown host" me: how the fuck do I connect to the channel? me: nah, working on this first post, will try again in a bit Andrew: did you get on? Andrew: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/12/1312258&from=rss <http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/12/1312258&from=rss> Andrew: I mean, hah Andrew: no you are! me: "No, you're confusing the Uncertainty Principle with the Observer Effect" me: I love the replies Andrew: that may be because most of the people on the channel came because of the blog annopuncement and are jsut testing the system out Andrew: its actually kindof interesting, though I still classify most of this as inane chatter Andrew: it certainly seems more relevent now, for some reason Andrew: that could be done me: set up a democratic-anarchist info processing thing me: a simple version, though me: some sort of multi-user information management deal like what we talked about Andrew: any cool ideas for a short project? Andrew: thinking about a web/chat/message board thing Andrew: Im going to write a short web project to teach myself Andrew: I need to learn this new programming language called Ruby me: say, "What I like about Mitt Romney is the consistent positions that he's held over the past ten years." Andrew: they are starting to talk about the future, and the possibility that the uniquity rules may accelerate the evolution of a new meme-language Andrew: you touched off a firestorm, they are eating that shit up Andrew: haha Andrew: let me try it me: "I love Windows!" me: I've got a unique chat line me: in fact, we should make all household decisions ranging from what to do on the weekends to ideas for Josh's video game based on a software-based constitution that you write with Ruby Andrew: you should check this board out, I dig it Andrew: how's that for unique chat? Andrew: I write gay anthro erotica. I'm sure that wouldn't fit anyone's preferences here. :P Though the longer stories I'm working on won't have any erotica in them, they're still anthro related. me: to coordinate grand plans me: we should use it among the three of us Andrew: south park me: what? Andrew: with her? nice Andrew: nice me: next post will be on xkcd me: ignore formatting errors me: http://blog.riight.com/ me: blog has begun me: oic Andrew: someone already said "the system works" me: for obvious joke regarding chat format? Andrew: for repeating me: why would they mute you? Andrew: I have to wait for it to wear off Andrew: afterwords I said "The system works!" and got muted Andrew: haha Andrew: nice Andrew: nice
