So, if you sit on Freenode long enough, you might get some… odd… things that happen to you, apparently. Like this conversation, for example.

17:41 [jjj_] hello! do you run any servers?
i’m looking for someone to host some cool new web 2.0 apps…
17:41 [Eraos] Yes, I do, and no, you can’t.  Sorry.
Look into cheap VHOSTing for yourself, I would suggest.
17:43 [jjj_] no i can’t what?
17:43 [jjj_] thanks though
17:44 [Eraos] No, you can’t host the cool new web 2.0 apps
on the servers that I run.
17:44 [Eraos] No problem at all.  Good luck.
17:44 [Eraos] Strictly out of academic curiosity, what would
these cool new web 2.0 apps consist of?

Unfortunately, jjj_ went completely quiet after my query. I guess I’ll never know what ‘cool new web 2.0 apps’ I won’t be hosting… which is actually too bad, because now I’m slightly curious. :(

Where else could this post possibly fit, except for A Room with a Moose?

    Dude! You just totally missed out on the Web 2.0 wave! You could have been a part of the next big thing! It’s like myspace, except with maps. And people can wirelessly blog their photo uploads, and fill them with wiki entries!

    I just realised that you can already wirelessly blog your photo uploads on myspace.

    There is no hope.

    Was there ever? ;)

    One day, those wirelessly blogged photo uploads will be wikified and the apocalypse will be upon us!
