Earlier today, it being the 20th of January, approximatly 4:15
|
||
|
|
midwestern time, there was a gigantic net split. I was there first hand,
|
||
|
|
and I experienced many emotions in a period of several minutes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There we are, sitting in #dto on efnet, where all your favorite hoe
|
||
|
|
writers lounge, and suddenly pirch shuts down. The first emotion I
|
||
|
|
experience is bewilderment, as to why pirch went on the blitz. Next, I felt
|
||
|
|
massive amounts of sorrow, for I tried and tried to get back on, to no
|
||
|
|
avail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, I connected, and cried out in terror, for there was noone
|
||
|
|
in #dto. Discovering this, I tried to join #teen, where there are _always_
|
||
|
|
people. Theres noone there, and I became very very scared, because I
|
||
|
|
realized there had been a _gigantic_ netsplit. Then, realizing the extent
|
||
|
|
of the opportunities, I became increasingly evil by the second, since I
|
||
|
|
realized that I had op's in #teen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"This is awesome," I mumbled in awe to myself. I quickly join #unix,
|
||
|
|
#linux, and #aol, thinking that I had control of some of the busiest
|
||
|
|
channels.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I felt evil, simply evil.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A few minutes later, precisely 4:25, the channels flooded with
|
||
|
|
people. Working valiantly, I kick/banned dozens. But, as is the way of
|
||
|
|
things, stupid bots (unlike hooker) deopped me, and I felt hate for those
|
||
|
|
bots.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I jump back to #dto, and babble about how I almost took over IRC.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Talking to Swisspope, he remarked to me "It was the netsplit heard
|
||
|
|
'round the world."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yes, it was a day full of emotion, hate, greed, joy, and sadness.
|
||
|
|
But, in the end, things returned to normal, and it was alright again.
