Damnit!

And no, that isn't swearing, no matter what you say <_<

I missed my 10k! Missed!

I lost my 5-figure virginity without noticing, how weird…

Anyway, seeing as I'm here, and writing a blog, and that tick is ticked, I need some content, so I will have it.

OK, so I've been using miranda-IM for a while now, and I have to say, it's incredibly yummy, much nicer than silly live messenger.

As it comes, it's pretty basic, but it's entirely plugin-based, you can even change the contacts list and message windows :D

64D IRC has been quiet lately, come in, all of you.

If you want to come in, you'll need an IRC client. A good one for beginner IRCers, using firefox is the chatzilla extension.

If you don't use FF, but opera, I beleive it has one built in, which is handy, and if you use IE… well, you'll probably have too many viruses to connect to the internet, but mIRC is your best option.

mIRC is good for anyone reasonably experienced, anyway, it's a great client.

Oh, and miranda-IM has a kickassingly great implementation of IRC. You can even add singular people as contacts, and deal with them like you would on MSN!

I've just found my direvers disk for my graphics tablet, which is great, I whiled away a good few hours on Phun

It's a physics sandbox, and you can draw your own shapes, and liquefy stuff, and a lot of other things. Very fun!

Then I got out photoshop and started learning, the pressure controls of a stylus really adds usability, I don't know how anyone can use it with a mouse, now :D

Anyway, I've waffled on for long enough, now, most people probably haven't read this. I'll go quietly, make a better blog next time.

If the staff had a big sense of humor, they might warn you for putting "CURSES" in your blog title.

Unfortunately, their humor includes odd pranks like messing with site code.

You're flame retarded lol.

Anyway, I would get on IRC, if it were more active XD

Miranda is so plugin based you can disable chat. It is also a well integrated IRC client, odd that you failed to note that. For some reason I'm also offline with MSN by default, any ideas why that'd be?

You haven't waffled enough. I demand more waffles

I think the staff would like CURSES better than DAMMIT for the front page.

PY 16 years, 6 months ago

err, obel, I asked marbs, and he said it was fine, silly.

I've been using Miranda for quite some time now. It does have nice IRC interface.

PY 16 years, 6 months ago

It does, yeah…

My skin is too dark for IRC, though, but I have yet to find one to apply just for the IRC container, so I'm back to mIRC for the time being.

@Serpydoo, you can indeed. it does indeed, I should have mentioned that. I'm always offline by default, there'll be an auto-login plugin, bhut mydetails+always on screen works for me.

People like you are the reason it doesn't ever get active…
