Not an awful lot happening this week, IRC has been relatively quiet. The usual suspects have been behaving themselves which is always good to see. Just a reminder that being a sore loser is a sign of long-buried childhood problems.
There were several officers, and Lenvik, appointed to Command Staff positions this week. These include: -
VA Stuart, as Training Officer
VA Lenvik, as Internet Officer
VA Reinthaler, as Director of Operations
May their reigns be as lengthy as they will be long.
COMM News
- Quoting from the SO's report this week..
"I've noticed though that some IRC channels do not have enough Ops present at all times, thus having unwanted people in there and no one able to do anything about it. While this is more of a COMM thing, Channel Admins are free to add me to the X user list (undernet nick is Vladet) so when people ask me to come into a channel to boot someone, I actually can get Ops in there. It'd be a good idea."
This is also something that I have noticed - that there are at times no channel operators in a channel with a large congregation of people, and at other times almost a dozen in smaller channels. This is something I will be rectifying in coming weeks. For the time being, channel operators ARE free to add either Vladet, or myself (username is JoeyC) to your channel's X lists so we can be op'd if need be.
And thanks to the SO, for finding yet another thing for me to do. :-P
- Microsoft has released this article, which is targeting parents of small impressionable children, but also spells doom for all us geeks -

That's right, people, the gig is up. Now our parents will be able to crack and decode all of our top-secret talk. Thus I have decided to ban leet-speak from ALL channels, because it's annoying anyway. That is all.
