Grand Proclaimations:

1. Today I became the proud typist of the sweetest WV ever: psleet
Is that no the WV to end all WVs?
2. Today is the 2 month aniversary of my beard, as measured from the comment I left on Jordan's blog. I discovered it (the comment, not the beard) when I was delving through his archives a week or so ago.
3. My anatomy lab instructor is exactly like Bill Miller. Everyone think of Bill Miller: whimsical, independantly wealthy, a freelance composer with a thinning hairline. Now, keep him in whatever fraying old-man-clothes he's wearing, and put a white lab-coat over top, and imagine that he is a whimsical, independantly wealthy anatomist. That is what I get to enjoy every Tuesday from 2:30-4:30.
4. Nerds are petty, just like everyone else. I know it comes as a shock (it sure did to me), but it's true. DC++ is a haven for power-hungry people who know more about computers than 99.9% of the other users. This is because they befriend each-other quickly and are given roles of power within the hub. This is the incident that sparked this shocking revelation on my part:
Every morning I turn on my computer before I go to class. The only reason I do this is to log onto DC++ and let my 2 kb/s downloads run all day so that they'll finish before my undergraduate career. Today, after a fine afternoon of slow downloads, I came home to find that I had been banned for 12 days for "repeated abuse of the hub". There are only 3 problems:
1) having scanned back through the chat on the hub for the last number of hours, I could not find any warnings issued to me before the ban, thus it appears to have been totally arbitrary
2) I opened up the rules page, and could find no information whatsoever on banning, being kicked (forcibly disconnected for a short time) from the hub, or "kennylizing" and "lunarizing", both of which are methods which the powerful use to silence people they don't want to read, which leads to number 3:
3) I have no idea what the hell I did wrong! I wrote a very nicely worded email to the guy that wrote the rules page, and I hope he'll get back to me soon.
So, why do I hate nerds now? I don't, at all. But, when I scanned back through the chat I noticed something very very disturbing. A guy came on and immediately started talking shit to the main hub-running-folk. They kicked him, which is what you;re supposed to do, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, he, and several friends, kept coming back on and kept talking shit and telling them to come to his place and fight him. So, the person he was calling out published all his personal information in the chat window:

Listen boyys, this is Prince of Persia back from the grave, which ever one of you little fetus eating decrepid son of a harlot, I live in REV, SOUTH B, room 321 on the right side, you can come and pay me a visit if you wanna say anything to my face, but if you don't I'll know you're a little punk with no worth in life, and can't fight for shit, so if you wanna scrap, come by and lets dance, cuz I aint no star trek watchin, tittie sucklin, nerd off, and I will send you to the next world

where's the ban already, or you for that matter, drop by
Alright room 321, Mr. [deleted] , does the number [deleted] mean anything to you?
good for you can use a computer, very impressive, but whats that worth. Get the fuck over here and fight me

N1Kk... *skrattar*
awsome, you can cheat your way through life, sweet bud. Clearly you're not even a man
Shut up, Serbia.
Lord_Serbia: [***]-[****]"

I don't know about you, but that scares the hell out of me. I don't know how he found that out, but it's likely because he works for Resnet in addition to being a higher-up on DC++. So, now that I've been banned for no reason, I'm slightly hesitant to go up against these people.
Anyway, Hulbert loaned me Civ3 today, so I'm gonna hit that before bed.
