Lumpy's Corner

I know it's been a few days since the madman has spoken. He has been a busy guy of the late. I seem to have this bug up my but over the RIAA of the late. Once, again I emphasize that I am not a pirate and do not condone copyright violation. But I cringe at mention of the violation of individual rights, even by law enforcement and, even more so, by Big Brother like witch hunters.

I have decided to join Mockie in an anti-RIAA endeavor. Mockie is setting up an anti-RIAA site and has already set up an anti-RIAA chat room channel .

Now if you want to try IRC, I would sugesst Trillian it is a great free program which integrates MIRC, ICQ, AIM, MSN and Yahoo. I downloaded the free version and installed it today. So far I like it much. I allows you to keep one buddy list, select skins, log conversations, customize the appearance and, above, seems to function very well. I have heard the full version is even better. I would highly recommend it and would love to see you in lockergnome or the anti-iraa room.

I am not going to on and on about the RIAA right here, right now, but I will do so later. Today is pay day, and today I am gonna take care of bossiness and then meet some Fraternity Brothers for a few drinks. I will rant more later.

A few days ago I raved about the pleasure of getting together with with my fraternity brothers. I promised that it was a segue into the next days rant. Alas, I wrote about something else... And then there was the power outage...Sorry. Let's just say I exercised my poetic license to postpone it.

I intended to talk about another room I frequent. That would be a chat room, specifically the lockergnome chat room.

I have been subscriber lockergnome for years. Not only has Chris Pirillo's E-zine been my largest single source of my online education but the man himself has been more than good to me. For starters, he actually replies to my E-mail s and, almost always, the next day, taking all he does into account, that says a lot.

I have often, likely too often, gone off about how great a resource all of the Gnomoies are at Wyldryde.org in the various channels they host. One of them being the person behind this stunt. Before I saw that video this AM, I had already begun this draft. I decided to add this little intro because Chris Pirillo has been mentioned here before and, after viewing it, I just had to... too funny.---

Nonetheless, before Chris' production served as a drafting intermission, it had dawned on me that I have yet to mention one geek of lore here at Lumpy's Corner. Possibly, the worse "how could I ..." in Cyber-history. Actually, I have mentioned this individual here before but only in passing.

I have mentioned many a blogger, author, podcaster and tech gurus here. I mention a podcast almost every show over at Radiostatic.am.

So, a podcaster, an author, a blogger, a tech guru... hmm. He is all of that. Am I leaving anything out?
