I just found that emacs has an IRC client built in. Sweet sweet emacs, how I miss your lovely ways! Well, I uses emacs every time I write a journal entry, but I *don't* use emacs for actual programming anymore. I've switched to various IDEs for that, currently NetBeans. I wonder if emacs could actually handle all the shiz I need, though: svn, (eventually (*) git), well dang, I know it can do SVN, but oh man why haven't I been using emacs???

Okay, so anyway, this entry is about irc, iirc. (there, I did it; am I happy now? (yes!)) I was reading Break My Concentration and I Break Your Kneecaps and was like, "dood, emacs can do irc?" and flipped over to emacs and a few M-x irc RET keystrokes later, I'm using IRC! Wow!

In university I was always unimpressed with the kids who used IRC for MUDDs or whatever they called them, and I had heard stories about how IRC peeps hate new users, so I was like, "fuck dat" and never got into it. But hey, what's to say I can't start now?

/list showed a list of 994 channels, through which I searched for the word "chat" I found a couple such channels, but no activity when I /joined them, so I lost interest pretty quickly. Plus I had to work.

Today, after quickly finishing the page on which I was working yesterday, I put together a bookmarks class using some of the classes that Alfonzo had put together yesterday. I still haven't written that story; brb.
