Peter Murphy – Deep Ocean Vast Sea

Sooo drowsy. I finished the memebers sections on the #13thHour site… still some work that needs to be done tho…

Speaking of my beloved #13thHour… this morning the scifi server went down twice. First for about a half hour, then later for almost an hour… this has always happened every couple of weeks, but now it’s happening much more often… a bunch of rooms have left the server because of it’s problems, and #13thHour is one of the last of the “old rooms” to still be around. But since a couple weeks ago when scifi cancelled farscape the server has had 5 times the number of users coming on to support bringing farscape back… With this flood of so many new users the crappy scifi server cant handle it, it’s been going down 2-20 times a day since this started. Completely unacceptable if anyone wants to maintain an intelligent conversation. Plus there are no services on scifi… so there are problems with getting ops, reopening rooms… etc. And people who have already left are all “why dont you move #13thHour off that crappy server?” .. I was very reluctant, as scifi has been my main “home” for almost 4 years now… also there are are a few people who I know won’t follow to a new server (the scifi dedicated)… and some old friends that won’t know where to find us if we leave scifi.

The server’s instability finally won though, and we are moving. I spoked to shade (irc.mystic-net.org) and JoMomma (irc.mst3k.org … linked to shade’s server, where I chat in #deep13) and they said we could link irc.clockbot.net and bring #13thHour there. Now this is not completely abandoning scifi. Other channels.. #deep13, #bottestlab, and probably soon #pitchblack moved there, it’ll be like a mini-scifi… with only the kewl rooms… Most of the room members seem pretty happy about it that I’ve spoken to, but I have yet to make the final email announcement to all the members.. *sigh* It’ll be a big change, but for the better, we’ll have stability, chan/nick/memo services, working commands, all the things that make scifi lousy… I’m looking forward to it.

So when Myk comes home tonight we will talk about it, shade will help us link the servers…

I guess we’re planning on going to a LAN party this weekend *shrugs* people I dont know… some friends of Myk’s from work, I like lan parties and playing games, but I’m insanely shy and I havent met any of these people *sigh* I installed one of the games we’ll be playing Ghost Recon with the expansion pack, i dont know how to play yet ’cause I havent felt like playing games… it’s very odd, we bought Battlefield 1942 and I havent felt like playing it! %( I dunno why… it’s probably the benadryl making me sleepy and sluggish, Myk even asked me a couple of times this week if i wanted to play WarCraft 3 and I declined…

Gah anyway, it’s friday! %) I am gonna go read noew
