BTW for New Year’s I was surrounded by 4chan members who wouldn’t let me sleep until 6AM because they couldn’t stop quoting memes. At the same time my good Bay Area friends were a few towns away having a lot more fun than they thought they’d have, and I didn’t go because I didn’t think I’d have any fun there. It was probably the worst night of my life.
Buuuut on the flip side I hung out with John and Stephanie and we had the best Chinese in Fremont and then went to the Hurricane Electric colocation center, where I was SURROUNDED by the Internet! There were 1200 cabinets of servers and my own website was in there somewhere. It was pretty humbling since that whole place probably only hosts a few petabytes of data and yet it was like a labyrinth.
That sounds god awful. I’m sorry, man.
We had a great time
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the food — too bad Stephanie and I didn’t know you were having such a bad time otherwise we would have joined you and gone out anywhere else.
Re: We had a great time
Ah, thanks anyway. It wasn’t totally horrible – there were still video games and Internet and whatnot. I’m just wary around 4chan people.
Re: We had a great time
I didn’t know any of those people either — while I support the open anonymous forum that is 4chan, I have no interest reading or posting there
