somethings never work like you want...

so I got trillian...

it works fine when I'm home, but it doesn't work while I'm at work... so that's pretty stupid...

also, I'm using this thing called simp lite - from secway.fr... it encrypts your IM's from the prying eyes of your network admins... usually... assuming they don't have any kind of keystroke logger...

in any case, I can count on five fingers how many people have it... so it's pretty pointless because the people that I need to have it, don't...

whatever...

so then, I was talking to a friend, and he said that he spends a lot of time reading blogs, but he syndicates everyone... using rss bandit or whatever... so I got it... only to find that most people that I would like to syndicate, don't have a feed...

so go figure.

I still have to hop around from blog to blog... which isn't a problem when I'm at home, but I can't really do that at work... you know... since everyone is so colorful and full of pictures...

in any case... I think that I am going to start a random stalking club. The rules are, the person has to be completely picked at random. meaning, really that you can't pick the person. pretty much someone you know has to pick the person, but the person picking can't know or know of the person whom he/she is picking for you. Also, if you know or know of the person that the person who is picking picked, then you cannot stalk that person. once a suitable person has been picked, you cannot have any direct contact with that person. Plus you cannot harm that person in any way shape or form. Phyiscally, mentally, or socially...the object is to get as much information about that person as possible. then there will be a point system. basically, if you can get as much dirt as James Lipton, then you are elite. You need to find out what, if any, mimcry the person can do and the degree of success of mimicry. You need to get a few "Oh my gosh!" or "Where did you get that!?" facts. then you have to get the standard, parents, school, birthplace, extracuriculars, etc...

you cannot disclose any information about the person to anyone - except the judges... this is what makes judging hard, because the information has to be verifiable. so eventually, someone will have to ask the person if any of this information is true or not...

therein lies the major drawback of the game. you actually have to reveal yourself...

and that's no fun...

because you look like a stalker.

loser.
