The sysadmins are moving servers to new racks tonight which means the system had to be taken down to complete the work. In their downtime email, however, they did not mention that the IRC server (internet relay chat) would be affected. As a result, I cannot procrastinate by wasting time on IRC like I do every other night. No, instead, I went to the Unit 1 ASC to print my Psych 140 notes (the midterm is tomorrow and studying starts after I watch tonight's episode of House).
For those of you who are unfamiliar with IRC, it's another form of chat room similar to those created by AIM, iChat, or any of your other favorite chatting derivatives. The server was designed with victor's help and has revolutionized the way Residential Computing works. No longer do we shout obscenities across the office, but instead use the chat room so that even those not in the office can share in the ridicule.
And oh so much more...!

Wasn't it actually MILKI who helped designed and deploy the IRC server, hrm?
it actually was me, but the sysadmins did all the hard work
productivity in IRC was just re-directed to productivity somewhere else, i.e. procrastination.
woot.
was the outage even supposed to affect irc?
IRC probably needed a reboot too, kernel upgrade or whatever. Just as a matter of course.
