in general internet books and although I had already transitioned from OS/2 to linux as main OS, I didn actually become a regular IRC user until '02/03. By '24/'25 I'd pretty much outgrown idle chat as well as having aged out of the common demographic such that genuine interactions naturally tended to make me seem like an old troll and them like 'chumpy kids'. The time had come to move on and a more exciting phase of IRC in my life where it is fused with videotelephony and the other myriad services on the CMS network nodes and in domain space generally. I still am active here and in external networks or by automation but not at the prior level and generally speak only when spoken to except here outside of group contexts which are system owned. | in general internet books and although I had already transitioned from OS/2 to linux as main OS, I didn actually become a regular IRC user until '02/03.
