I won’t be writing about much to do with IRC after this, so anyone reading my blog for IRC gossip should keep in mind this will be about it. With all the bullshit over the last few weeks, I am tempted to start agreeing with David and Ben’s POV on IRC weenies and some taking IRC too seriously. Including me. Maybe I am! I have to say that even with the last week, I am remarkably unstressed now, but accept that not everything will be the same after these last few weeks. Something I have realised is that after all the support I gave, and losing some friends, it was forgotten very quickly, and maybe I didn’t have the friend I thought I did in the first place. Well no longer my problem. I’ve had enough of the dramas.
I will be writing about a comment David made in his journal. I am not PC - I actually think the way I talk. Therefore yes, I’ll object to what he says. It’s his opinion however, and he’s entitled to it. Likewise I’m entitled to object. Some people are PC to the extreme, however I was brought up to be a little more accepting of my fellow man and I can’t change that.
Regarding Ben’s comment, I didn’t mean integrate the way it came across. Late at night and coming down with something, I could have chosen a better word, and I didn’t so I’ll wear it. Cheap point scoring is ok if that’s what you want to do, I left myself open for it.
I went home tonight sick, I’ve had a sore throat and a headache for the last few days, but when I was at work tonight, I broke out into a sweat at about 6pm. I was sweating so much, it was like I had just been for a workout. I decided that perhaps it was time to go home, and got my TL to sign me off an hour and a half early. Driving home with the window open and feeling the heat radiate from my face and chest was interesting and felt the cool air sliding across my skin was most welcome. I’ve spent most of my night dozing on the couch with the blanket over me and sometimes checking the computer and watching Law and Order (second ep. was a repeat)
I don’t know if I’ll be able to work in the morning… if I am sick, I’ll have to go to the docs with some money and get a medical certificate because I’ll be sick on a friday (they need med certs if you have a “long weekend” so to speak). I also found something else interesting about the company which own’s my company.. but I can’t say anything. But all is not how it seems. Also interesting news about Comindico going into receivership. That is going to affect alot of ISP’s who are in a peering arrangement. Telstra and Optus aren’t in on it because they don’t like the idea of free traffic when they can make oodles of cash on check kb downloaded. Meh. Means some IRC servers also won’t be protected from DDoS attacks anymore if the peering arrangement goes down the tubes.
