Well, yeas and no. It is *easy* real-time communication, with many abilities and
options, even tho i have no one to communicate with anymore. Seems everyone
wants
to exclude people from life for one reason or another, usually because the other
person
is a little different, and 99.999% of people can't expand their rigidly fixed
mental boxes
to accomodate exception processing in their preconcieved steriotypes, even
online!!
For instance, 10% people often state as a fact that i cannot be typing this
manually,
and then they refuse to talk to me on irc. So, yes, i like the method of irc,
but it is still
populated by (or "infested by", take your pick) humans. The drawback to irc is
the lack
of fault tolerance in the tcp connection. I'm not advocating udp, i'd prefer tcp
and the
original premise of the internet: data will get thru in a timely fashion, no
matter how
many servers are taken down. Sadly, this goal has yet to be realised, especially
on
irc. I am just trying to gather stats on the current protocol's connection
liabilities for
now, but having to stop everything and figure out Windoze is slowing me down a
lot.
