IRC channel - irc.esper.net #f13.net

[schild]

What possessed you to bump this?

[sidereal]

I'm in channel wondering where everyone is.

I thought I made that clear.

[Signe]

Well, now that we're here we should have a chat about IRC.

[sidereal]

TinyFugue is a terrible IRC client.  I need to find a MUSH to connect to justify keeping it installed.

[Cheddar]

I dunno, I don't drink as much as I used to and fear it will make things less exciting.

[voodoolily]

And now that I'm a blogger and on Facebook, I don't even have time to play games anymore.

Facebook really isn't worth the effort though, and you know it. It should be called Desperate Stalkerbook. Because 9 times out of 10, it's people stalking other people.

[NiX]

I spend an hour every morning staring at your profile thinking "I LOVE HIS FACE"

Also, VD.. you're on facebook?! BFF!

[Draegan]

sidereal you made me log in.  I had to dig up mIRC for this.  Bastard.  I forgot to read the date on the original post.

Speaking of not playing games, IRC, face cream and blogs - I'll be trying your front page soup for dinner next week sometime. 

MMM MMM- GOOD!

[voodoolily]

I tried to facestalk Signe, but somehow ended up in Denmark. The fuck?

Nixel, if you look in schild's friend list you can find me there. It's easiest that way.

I use it to promote my blog. I get a little traffic from it, and that equals sweet, sweet ad revenue in my PayPal!

[Signe]

I'm so boring I never even had a My Space thingy let alone a fancy shmancy Facebook thingy.  Signe is a popular name in Denmark for some reason.  Well, as popular as a dumbass name like Signe can be.

She's also the only girl in the F13 group, unlike schild, who hasn't joined yet.   

[Nebu]

You silly kids and your interweb fun toys.  

I've never understood the point of MySpace and Facebook.  Then again, I got my first cell phone less than a year ago.  

[stray]

I deleted my myspace page, thank god.

[Signe]

I still don't have a cell phone.  HA!   

[voodoolily]

I enjoy randomly seeing who got fat. It's like attending a reunion without having to interact with anyone.

Werd.  If I haven't talked to someone for more than 15-20 YEARS than there probably is a reason. i.e. WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON.

Sorry, I really hate stalkers and tend of overreact (although that usually is the best course of action).

And I don't think I should IRC from work.

It's a name used in Norway too! In fact, there are 6309 women in Norway who have Signe as their (first) first-name. Also, there are 3, 2, 1 or 0 men named Signe in Norway.

I miss IRC. Once upon a time I ran an IRC channel where upwards of 70 people from my local community idled every day. Having 70 people idling on my MSN list just doesn't feel the same. *sad*

MUAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA!




I don't mind Facebook and actually find it useful, but it's only borderline useful until they support better organizing people into groups, like:

1) People who I went to high school with that I barely remember but who validate themselves by friending everyone they've ever known, and I accept because (like voodoolily) I want to see how fat and/or full of children they've gotten.

2) People who I used to work with and who are apparently trying to maximize their job prospects by adding every coworker they've ever had.  I usually ignore these but add a few that I got along with

3) People who I used to be friends with and liked a lot but moved somewhere and we drifted apart like in a Whitesnake song

4) People who are my friends right now

I don't want anybody in 1-2 and maybe 3 to know what I'm doing right now.  I don't give a fuck what people in 1-2 are doing right now.  I don't give a fuck what people in 3 are doing right now if it's local (yay, you're going to a bar 8,000 miles away from me.  glad I know).  I don't want to read essays from people in 4).  I talk to them daily anyway.  Turning everyone I know, known, and/or am marginally interested in into a giant bucket of interaction is dumb.

This is what Facebook is for.  Anonymous smug.  Seeing how enormous/bald/wrinkly your old pals are.  Makes your current prunelike/fatty/hairless life more tolerable.  Facebook Friends are not friends, necessarily, but rather a loose grouping of people you would like to keep tabs on or who you hope will keep tabs on you.

[Draegan]

I like facebook.  I don't get anonymous people screaming at me with spam, and I only have friends I interact with.  It's kinda fun sometimes.

It's true.  I know this because it's where I got my name.  You know a lot of women!

That's some serious stalking.

[Falconeer]

That f13 FB group sucks: I am the only one immediately recognizable. Everyone else, creator included, is undercover!

[Soln]

FB is a game for people who like collecting friend's tokens     

And yeah, FB nothing to do with real friends.  I keep mostly old work colleagues and a few RL friends and family members.  But that's it.  FB is a stalker-palooza.

[voodoolily]

You also haven't updated your blog in over a year. Poser.

[stray]

I hardly know anyone on facebook. More stalkworthy people on myspace.. but that's boring. Half of the people on my friends list are people from here.

[Xuri]

Myspace is a pit of bad webdesign and people with horrible taste in colors.

[stray]

They actually upgraded their design (err, well, it was an option) before I deleted my profile. A lot cleaner (no matter the colors), and all of the sections were widget/drag and drop based.

When I first joined the facebook, I liked their design. And then like the next day, they upgraded it to something shitty.

[Yegolev]

I'm not undercover, you Beverly-drinking dork.  Just click on some shit!

[JWIV]

I'm easy to spot on there.

Ravens jersey and baby.   Though I should update that pic now - she has much more hair these days.

[NowhereMan]

My pics a picture of me, I just happen to be underwater. You'd easily recognise me from it if you bumped into me there

[stray]

I am a Garbage Pail Kid.

We know this, but why are you not in the F13 group?  We are all being emo in there.
