We need IRC back

[Zyrshnikashnu]

 

I miss the days of Shayol Ghul in IRC. I have nobody to slap with a trout anymore. :(

 

Furthermore, I am now a semi-skilled bot-maker, but I have only one channel to inflict them on (that channel, by the way, shall remain a closely guarded secret for now...).

 

I hope you'll all join me on irc.rizon.net on channel #sg.

 

If you don't, I'll gouge your eyeballs out.

 

With a trout.

[Jelly]

I have to ask...what on Earth are you talking about? What is IRC?

 

 

(It's probably something to do with just having gotten up though)

[Alaksuleiel]

cosmic: go to mibbit.com

[Canukistani]

therer, i've downloaded it again and i'm not being blinded by ali's capslock

[Barmacral]

IRC is a chat program you can download. A popular one.

[Jelly]

Ah I see...

[Zyrshnikashnu]

IRC is a protocol, not a program. You can't download IRC. :P

[Shendare]

Sure you can! Just like you can walk into any computer store and buy the Internet on a floppy disk.

 

No foolin'! Here's one I got the other day:

 

[Canukistani]

omg is that a 3.5"?  i'm shocked i remember what those are

[Shendare]

I kid you not...

 

The day before yesterday, I was cleaning old computer equipment, parts, software, components, and outright junk out of our main office at work in preparation for the big office move coming up at the end of the month, and one of the things we ended up donating to Good Will was a computer that was so old... it had a 5.25" floppy drive in it.

 

Man, that brought back memories. Mainly bad ones, of disks with bad sectors and minute-long load times.

 

It reminded me of a picture someone linked around the Internet earlier:

[Gerrendus]

HAHA!

I remember those :(

And I'm only 17...

[Canukistani]

what the hell is that big thing?

[Gerrendus]

Canuk!

Get back in the chatroom so I can properly trout smack you

[Shendare]

It's a laserdisc... specifically a CRVD (Component Recordable Video Disc).

 

Think DVD-R... from the late 80's early 90's. They held 30 minutes of video on each side. And they made Blu-Ray players look cheap enough to get out of a gumball machine, not to mention they were about 20" on a side. *laugh*
