IRC Editing

IRC editing has this really odd quality where you'll be typing out your entry and trying to keep it isolated, but people will be talking about it and typing other stuff. I noted this in the original noets site, but I think now that we have two IRC input mechanisms running side by side in #d8uv.com it's becoming even more pertinent.

I just told crschmidt (whilst he was writing the entry that he's just finished, 55) that it reminds me of that bit of HHG where to learn to fly you have to be shocked into missing the ground. So people would be hired to jump out of the bushes and scare them etc. Well it's kinda similar here in that if you're being a git you try to put other people off their entry, like I successfully did with crschmidt in the previous one (though that was an accident).

It doesn't seem like crschmidt's learned to fly as a result, though.
