I think I'd like to learn more about the outlawry that goes on there. Mebbe a big blog scoop there. Interesting, Doug! I think I’d like to learn more about the outlawry that goes on there.

I do not do Twitter for the very reasons you cite (although I do follow b!X's meanderings on it just to keep up with his so-called life. It was good to hear from you on my blog. I know that you've had some bad times and am glad to see that you are still out there kickin'. Extending your family to include a daughter-in-law (and maybe, eventually, grandkids) is a wonderful energizer. We are both in a new stage of our lives, adjusting to health situations that too often happen with aging. Hang in there, friend. And I will make a point of keeping in touch here.

It's the reason why so damn few data centres (and not the one I work for) will allow IRC on their networks now - it's just to much trouble. There's also all the illegal activity that goes on - another reason dcs don't want it on their network - large multinational clients are very sensitive as to who they share their physical space with.
