Same stuff man...Im in college now going for database administration...thats pretty much all that is new lol.

Databases were/are my main interest (and strength). Lucky you if you end up working in that field! :)

The channel is fine .... g4yn3ss and pr0n talk I can live with (IRC is not for the faint hearted). Maybe I'm just beyond all this kill/ban evasion stuff. I part own a channel on qnet and in all the time I've run it (at times single handed), I don't think I banned anyone at all! +m is so much more humiliating and in the event of a botnet attack, +r and +i/+k work a lot better.

I still much prefer IRC to MSN/AIM/Yahoo mainly due to the more relaxed atmosphere and mentality of the people you chat to. I've learned so much from IRC and it's instant help - priceless!

We're not a large server, but somehow, we attract BotNet attacks (it might have something to do with being on the mIRC server list), and in most events, g/z-lines work the best ;-), anyways, DefCon protects us well most of the time anyways. I've had a chit-chat with the oper that did it, and they meant no harm, they said they have nothing against AO or you, and it was only meant in a joke way (we have a weird sense of humor), and nothing else.

:-), time for a Lost break in my studying!

enmand, me and Brad celebrate our gayness. Now come on over to Florida, and you, me, Brad and Syini666 can have a facial.

Thanks MicroBurn ... I realise it was only a joke and I take no offense at all. Heck, I'd been there about 2 minutes, so it can't have been anything personal! :) I don't even want to know who did it.

Anyway, I'm happy to stick around in the channel :) it seems lively with plenty of chat. Botnets (or the people who think they're clever for running them) are a total pain. Qnet suffers quite a bit and it's so unnecessary because it achieves exactly nothing. I can see their "use" to send spam or harvest confidential details from compromised PCs, but to part/join an irc channel in such rapid succession that nobody else can get a word in ..... pointless.
