• Er findet mich nicht cool.
• Das darf er aber nicht!

Eins vorneweg: Ich bin ein Instant Messaging-Junkie. Wenn der Rechner angemacht wird, das erste, was hochgefahren wird, sind ICQ und MSN. An Jabber habe ich mich (noch) nicht getraut, was auch daran liegen mag, dass meine übliche IM-Kommunikationsclientel in den seltensten Fällen gewillt ist, solche offenen und dadurch gerade für technisch völlig Uninteressierte doch recht kompliziert zu benutzenden Systeme für die Kommunikation einzusetzen. Und ja, mir ist durchaus bewußt, dass es Gateways gibt, mit denen man als Jabber-Benutzer auch mit MSN- und ICQ-Kontakten konversieren kann. Darum geht es mir jedoch heute gar nicht.

Eigentlich möchte ich nur mal meinen Ärger über diejenigen loswerden, die es schaffen, in IM-Gesprächen jedwedes Gefühl und Gespühr ür die deutsche Rechtschreibung, Syntax und Grammatik vollkommen außen vor zu lassen. Nicht, dass ich von jeder einzelnen Nachricht erwarte, dass sie den Ansprüchen eines Deutsch-Abiturs genügen, das tun meine ganz gewiss auch nicht, aber in dem Moment, in dem es nicht mehr möglich ist, zu verstehen, was das Gegenüber nun genau ausdrücken will, ist doch der Punkt überschritten, in dem das Medium Instant Messaging nicht mehr zur Kommunikation dient sondern nur noch einem dadaistischem Kunstverständnis Nahrung gibt, das wir nach Loriots Krawehl, Krawehl eigentlich beerdigt glaubten.

Kann es denn wirklich so schwer sein, ab und an ein Komma zu setzen? Muss ja nicht an die richtige Stelle kommen, aber zumindest kann es in einem Schwall von Worten durchaus eine willkommene Pause darstellen.

Bitte, meine Lieben, die Ihr Euch manchmal sowohl mein Weblog als auch meine Konversation in ICQ oder MSN antut: Versucht's doch. (Und seid mir ob diesen Eintrags nicht allzu böse.. ;-) )

It was an incident, Google later said – a mere wrong "0" deeply hidden in the code of the ranking algorithm, triggered at completely improbable circumstances, a bug so exotic and rare one could say it practically didn't even exist. But of course, it existed. And one person's life in specific would be changed by this little bug. This person was a 20-something with a keen interest in the Web by the name of Josh.

The Memespread Project
Spread this Meme: Link to this site. Send it to your friends. Get the word out. What is the Memespread Project? I am conducting an experiment about the spread of memes and information flow on the Internet. By analyzing where a link has been injected into the blogspace and then watching the ensuing hits to that site, the temporal and spatial spread of this piece of information can be measured.

We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the bitter new calling
If I have to give my life you can have it
We, we are the pulse of the maggots

We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules!

Hear Me now!
All crimes should be treasured if they bring thee pleasure somehow...
