First a bit about my day. I got a fair amount done in spite of meetings this morning. I pretty much finished another laptop setup and resolved some other issues. I finally kicked a copy protection problem in one of the computer labs too. Glad to have that out of the way. Made for a long day though … left about 6:15 or so. Got home and watched Friends and made some hamburgers.
I hopped onto IRC ‘cuz I haven’t been on in several days and a URL in the topic caught my eye. I think it’s something that is worth reading for most anybody. It’s a website dedicated to a 21 yr. old who overdosed on drugs while in a chatroom. The website includes chatroom logs from the “event”. They’re rather graphic but sobering in the end. I guess it raises the fact that just because something is occurring “on the internet” doesn’t mean it’s not real. In this case, there was even a webcam. I’m not sure what I would have done in the shoes of the other people who were in the chatroom, but unfortunately they didn’t have enough information to prevent the death.
I’m glad tomorrow is Friday. I’ve had enough of work this week. My days have been too long. It’s amazing how tired a person can get from working extra hours even if it’s not particularly physical. I hope I can catch up on sleep this weekend.
