Computer troubles today. I notice something was wrong with spoon ( my Linux gateway/web/mail machine) while I was at work when I couldn’t telnet in or get to my webpage. I come home only to see
Aiee, killing the interrupt handler.
among other odd messages and columns of values in hex. That’s right the computer was screaming in pain. I have no idea what happened. There’s nothing in the log files after 12:08 today, so I know when it happened, but not what.
I rebooted the old thing and it seems to be fine now. Odd.

fun and gaim’s

Been experimenting with Linux software recently. I finally switched from the (somewhat unstable and slightly crappy)ICQ/AIM client I was using to GAIM. Sounds like it only does AIM-ish operations, right? Well, it has these plugins, see .. and there are plugins for everything. Comes with plugins for ICQ (or course) and Jabber and (this one surprised me) Zephyr, which we use at work. If only I could get GTK+ compiled at work. . . heh.

And there’s an ALICE Bot plugin … it’s an interesting chatterbot program, kind of like Eliza (or Dr. Sbaitso for anyone who had an old Sound Blaster). But more intelligent. It talks about movies and people and stuff … ask it about William Shatner! haha!
So anyway, I have this bot running and online… weeeee
ICQ: 11344079
or AIM: botspoon

While poking at various constructed language pages, I found this:

o*|**
which is Anti-Math notation for
Bored person, happy person --> Contact high!

… and for some reason, when I read this my brain nearly imploded.
