[B]"Whole", damn you! Not "Hole"! "Whole"! Yeesh, I sure hope you don't get a job that involves writing. [/B][/QUOTE]
Stupid English Langauge in having words the mean differnt things but sound the same. Also I did not put much thought into what I was typing.
And I'm frankly insulted that you don't bother to put thought into your posts. If you think so little of us that you can't be bothered to think of us at all, why not find a webboard who's users you respect?

I think this explains more about the situation than your first line does...
;)
Anyhow, IRC is a free service offered by us. :) I sent out a message saying it'll be down for a little while.
[B]What the hell is Dvorak? [/B][/QUOTE]
It's the keyboard layout I use.
QWERTY was developed back in the days of mechanical typewriters, whose keys would get stuck if you typed too fast. The solution was to make the most convoluted, uncomfortable key layout they could find... and that's what you're using.
The Dvorak layout was developed, not surprisingly, by a guy named Dvorak, who happened to be related to the composer Anton Dvorak; cousins, I think. His layout was designed for speed and comfort, using existing physical key positions, but a different layout for the letters, which you can see above. It's a far better design, which is why I use it. My burst speed went up a good 30 wpm after I switched over.
[B]There was a global message a few days ago that it might go down and would be down till tuesday or wednesday. It's not Striker's fault you don't live on ICQ like we do and didn't get that message. :D [/B][/QUOTE]
It is too his fault since I'm on everyday. :D Ask Sanfam if you don't believe me. He always hybernates in away mode, and I hardly ever see you or Striker on anymore.
[B]The message he sent out was on IRC though - doesn't help people like Vertigo1 that only drop by occasionally :) [/B][/QUOTE]
He could've made a thread about it too. ;) Dammit....Its been a week since I've dropped by and I'm already having withdrawl.... :p

I'm always there. :) Hell, I'm there more than sanfam since he keeps going off on holiday.

You realize I would have to make a thread on over 15 message forums, etc. just to announce that IRC is going down?

No, just make one thread in either this forum, or an announcements forum. :) (btw, there is a phpBB mod that allows admins to make forum-wide announcements. Yes, I know this isn't phpBB, but it runs on the basic fundamentals so there should be one for vB out somewhere.)
btw, I wasn't really complaining about it being down, just messing with ya. ;)
[B]That is not what he means Vertigo1. RadiusCo doesn't just host Firstones. IRC for all their clients went down. [/B][/QUOTE]
Yup! I only have forum accounts on two sites and not all the others.
Anyhow, the IRC message was sent out late last week. Just waiting on something on the colo side and it'll be back up.
:p
[B]He could be using dvorak. That layout has n and l in close proximity.

But... Less Than Ay Oh Ee just isn't as catchy as WASD.
[Edit]And I definetely prefer having / ? . , on the bottom.
[B]Try getting used to it, using it a bit; you'll change your mind. [/B][/QUOTE]
80 wpm is good enough for me, and the transition time where I'll have to get used to a new keyboard setup would be a real hassle.
