Jewel – Enter From The East

I forgot to post a reply to one of the comments… they asked if I was talking about irc… then said they were an mirc junkie. Well I WAS talking about IRC, but I don’t use mirc… why? 1. Because they dont make a linux version 2. because it’s graphical, and I want a text based client to run on my webserver.

I take great offense to being called an mirc user %) and when people confuse IRC with mIRC, mIRC is merely a client to connect to Internet Relay Chat servers. And sure, I have a “how-to install mirc” thing on my site, and I DID use mIRC for a couple years, it’s great for the beginner. The scripting language is simple enough for a child to write and it’s very clicky-pretty. Of course these things are also what gains my contempt for it %) You get lame-ass users on IRC who can script in mIRC and think they are so 1337. Drop them at a command prompt of a unix box and they’d panic of course, but they gain this sort of respect for their scripting abilities by others who don’t realize how easy it really is. And of course you get the lamers who take advantage of all mIRC tools to write floods, nukes, etc that execute through mIRC. I even know some people who control half their computer remotely through mirc, it gets quite absurd %)

So I hate mIRC, and while I am ranting about irc, I hate it when I am in a chat room and people decide to bring in all their half finished bots and commence to have a bot making party where they spend the afternoon messing with their bots! *grumbles at the people doing that now in #brit-cit* it drives away people who actually want to chat, can’t they MAKE a room to do this in? S’how I test my bot.. I never bring him into a room until he is finished because I know how annoying it is for people to test their bots while I am trying to chat… rar.

Oh boy I’m in a bad mood, STUPID MIRC!!! %)
