And so the world comes to an abrupt halt…

[3/14/13 23:27:46] Mathias Jørgensen: He was in bed
[3/14/13 23:27:50] Mathias Jørgensen: And suddenly
[3/14/13 23:27:55] Mathias Jørgensen: I hear him outside my door
[3/14/13 23:27:59] Mathias Jørgensen: He takes the Internet
[3/14/13 23:28:00] Mathias Jørgensen: Leaves
[3/14/13 23:28:13] Arnan de Gans: the whole internet?
[3/14/13 23:28:18] Mathias Jørgensen: YES

And if that’s not bad enough. Apparently it’s kept in a box.

[3/14/13 23:31:49] Arnan de Gans: then take the interweb back
[3/14/13 23:31:52] Arnan de Gans: before it disapears
[3/14/13 23:31:55] Mathias Jørgensen: I can’t
[3/14/13 23:32:00] Mathias Jørgensen: He took it
[3/14/13 23:32:02] Mathias Jørgensen: The box
[3/14/13 23:32:17] Arnan de Gans: internet comes in a box?
[3/14/13 23:32:23] Mathias Jørgensen: Router
[3/14/13 23:32:27] Mathias Jørgensen: He unplugged it

Sadness overwhelms me…

Or not ;) Haha!

Years ago I’ve learned that Google offers a Instant Messaging thing. It worked with Apples iChat, Adium and a bunch of other apps that supported Jabber / XMPP protocols. Fun!

Some people used it. I’ve encourage people to use it more and drop the archaic and always broken MSN/Live Messenger. I have used it for countless hours to chat and use the webcam with my then girlfriend. It was a useful thing to have.

Then about 18 months ago Skype got my attention. The girlfriend turned out to be not so much a girlfriend. And I haven’t used GoogleTalk since. The Messenger has literally been active and unused for almost 15 months. I’ve checked the chat logs. People moved away from it apparently.
Google would decide for me that I should be friends with certain people I emailed from my Gmail account and they ended up in my friends list. A thing I disagreed with and annoyed me to no end. Removing them was no option since the first time I would receive a message from them or send them an email they would be added again. So they’re not my friends at all, they’re Googles friends then. And I’m not allowed to make up my own mind about who I want to talk to.

And so with that annoyance, the lack of people using it it has been dormant for well over a year. Useless.

Last month I took the step of no longer starting the Messenger app. This freed up some space in my OS X Dock. And other than that nothing changed in my life, workflow or anything because of it. Odd, really. Since in itself it’s a useful service. And with so many people using Gmail and a bunch even dared to try Google+ you’d think a chat feature would see wider adoption and use.

But no…

Peoples minds are going to mush over Diamond Armour and stabbing moms in arms and whatnot. Madness I say!

My friend Mathias, the only sane person I know who plays Minecraft. Post this chatlog on Skype earlier from him trying to help some idiot who allegedly lost his stuff. I think this guy, Tyler merely lost his tiny little mind.

[22:27:40] Mathias Jørgensen: Geez
[22:30:14] Mathias Jørgensen: You suck

For the uninitiated, you can’t delete a Minecraft account. You can’t change the email address on it either. So this means that even if some loser steals your password and changes it you can *always* reset it. As Mathias tried to explain. But the mind of that other kid was so screwed up about his virtual non-existant toys, that… well he became a waste of air and a useless person really. Someone should shoot him. It will strengthen the herd.

Obviously a lot of young kids play Minecraft. Some say the average age even lies between 10 and 12… Perhaps it’s true. Should they play Minecraft? If they loose track of life’s priorities this easy perhaps not. It gives us mature people a bad name :( .

So this guy has been frequenting my Minecraft server and a few days ago he claimed to be part of Anonymous… You know, that bunch of savages trying to overthrow the internet and some governments.

This guy is 10-12 years old if he is to be believed and a devoted follower, apparently. He has no idea about the Guy Fawkes mask or their actual cause.
But he’s anonymous… So yeah, that must be cool.

A bunch of minutes ago he comes in the server all excited and well… Read it.
I am Adegans in this transcript. This is the unedited log from my Minecraft server.

This invisible player is probably just the admin, wandering around somewhere using a tool to “catch” new players and kills them with a command for fun, since he’s admin he can do that easily. I have stuff like that on my server.
I wonder what his story will be when he’s done hacking and virussing the shit out of that server/person. :)

Since social networking is hip and cool. Apparently it’s the way and the light. So i guess i should adapt.

So, everyone! Quick! Abuse this weakness in my defenses and add me on facebook! It’s here: http://www.facebook.com/adegans.

Also add me on GoogleTalk. It’s adegans@gmail.com! (Don’t email me there though, i won’t read it!)

Yay… I think.
