A CyberPunk's Anti-Ode to the Net (crappy)
(More blog entries from bbirney)
The weather was weary one warm winter day
Inside at my 'puter I started to play
I logged on to see my mailbox was crammed
In horror I gasped, I had been spammed!
on IRC, EFFnet, I was chatting in #rock
Most of the people are real dorks in there
Them being alive is a waste of our air.
I chose to telnet to my favorite MUD
logged on, began scripting, and led ouf a "crud!"
it seems that my script had a small little bug
So I checked it all over while my grave was dug.
Sick of the south north west east et cet,
I hurried myself to the dome of usenet
EEK! I cried, our newsgroups are pillaged!
Filled with more flamers than Eas Grenwich Village!
Two choices left and I hate FTP
So on to the web to finish my journey
Broke links were all over, trash scattered about
I need some real friends, I need to get out!
