Dear Frisbee and mudpuppie. First time I clicked onto the link without knowing what it was. The second time, my computer logged me in automatically because it decided that's what you do when you disconnect a VPN session. Just so you know. →[More:]

[08:24] mudpuppie: hey, it's seanyboy!!
[08:24] frisbee: spits drink
[08:24] mudpuppie: seanyboy, i dare you to type something
[08:25] mudpuppie: see? he can't do it. wimp!
[08:25] frisbee: Dear Gawd!
[08:25] mudpuppie: maybe he really doesn't have a keyboard?
[08:25] frisbee: seanboy?
[08:26] frisbee: ooooooooh, seanboy!
[08:26] mudpuppie: or maybe he just likes to hear us talk about him
[08:26] frisbee: I guess it would help if I typed his name correctly
[08:26] frisbee: seanyboy
[08:26] mudpuppie: that's better.
[08:26] mudpuppie: let's see if this works...
[08:27] frisbee: apparently not
[08:27] You were promoted to operator by mudpuppie.
[08:27] frisbee: Helloooooooooooooooooo, seanyboy!
[08:27] mudpuppie: well, he's an enigma...
[08:27] frisbee: or a deafmute
[08:27] mudpuppie: SEANYBOY!!!!1!
[08:27] mudpuppie: i played craps with a deaf mute this weekend.
[08:28] frisbee: good player?
[08:28] mudpuppie: not really.
[08:28] frisbee: huh
[08:28] mudpuppie: but he kept a toothpick in his mouth all the time, and that was cool.
[08:29] frisbee: yes, I can see that
[08:29] mudpuppie: SEANYFUCKINGBOY!
*removed*
[08:32] mudpuppie: SEAN... Y.... BOY....
*removed*
[08:37] mudpuppie: wtf happened to seanyboy? big tease, he is.
[08:38] frisbee: I suspect he logged on and wandered off.
[08:38] mudpuppie: why would one do that?
[08:38] mudpuppie: twice?
[08:38] frisbee: dunno exactly
[08:39] frisbee: actually he did it earlier too
*removed*
[08:53] You were demoted from operator by frisbee.

It was just our love shining through, seany. I was convinced you were toying with us when you didn't respond to demotion.

His IRC microphone was unplugged. Happened to me too, a couple times.

Is there anyway I can make my work computer IRC friendly?

posted by Specklet 23 August | 13:04

I can't help it if I make irc sound so intriguing...

Of course with the lovely Frisbee Girl and mudpuppie frequenting the room, how can it not be?

/shameless flattery

I Recall Correctly.

gaspode, last night the room was in rare form, for sure. My stomach still hurts.

posted by Frisbee Girl 23 August | 13:28

From laughing. I suppose I should make that clear.

Speck, can you do any kind of instant messaging from work?

posted by Frisbee Girl 23 August | 13:29

Seanyboy, the important thing to focus on here is that you are greatly desired in-chat. I too would be tickled pink to see you any time, irc. You're just going to have to learn to live with the popularity.

Don't be jealous. I'm totally chatting with a hot babe on the internet right now.

is it LAFAWNDUH?

posted by mcgraw 23 August | 13:50

seanyboy, there's that and there's also the fact that I still take great pleasure in giving you some guff after our dubious beginnings together in #metachat. =)

On preview: awesome, mcgraw!

I dunno FG, I never tried. I can't install anything on my machine, though, not even Quicktime...

posted by Specklet 23 August | 13:57

Specklet - my attempt at a quick start guide might be helpful

posted by dodgygeezer 23 August | 14:03

dodgygeezer, I am an idiot, so although I got onto slashnet.org, it tells me it couldn't establish connection to www.slashnet.org. Is there some sort of chatware I have to install?

posted by Specklet 23 August | 14:17

It should run a java client from that page although it may not work if they've blocked irc traffic. It was worth a try...

posted by dodgygeezer 23 August | 14:20

I should explain. It didn't bother me. Just thought it was amusing.
And I love you guys tooooo!!!!!

What times are people in IRC? I tend to see the same group whenever I'm on. (Not that that's a bad thing!)

On the rare occasions I'm in #metachat, it's between 10pm and midnight, GMT-06.

It was pretty dead when I was there last night. Guess I logged off too early. Unless you waited until I had gone to start the party.

posted by goatdog 23 August | 15:55

The double-whammy gets me - My work computer is so locked up that, like Specklet, I can't even install quicktime (plus, IRC traffic is blocked) and, when I am at home, everyone else is off leading fascinating lives somewhere else.

It is possible to set up a script to run IRC over a web page to get around this, but I imagine it would be fairly resource-intensive.

I was so offended by Seanyboy's rebuke that I had to spend two days away from here. Turns out it was all for naught. Oh well.
