Someone with your username spoke with me when I came onto a tor-themed irc chat six or so years ago. I was probably wildly asking for help. Do you know if there is a log of that conversation preserved? It would mean a lot to me if I could access those messages. I don't recall what I said. I had been prepped to harm somebody.

i used the nickname coderman_ (with underscore) on irc.oftc.net. i would often be in #tor, #nottor, #tails, and other Tor related channels. i can still auth that username, if you care, and if services hasn't purged my account for inactivity :P

there is likely no long of the conversations, however. while IRC is definitely not *private*, it's also not inherently archived and indexed. (a feature? :)

Thanks. It would have been in #nottor . Very sad for me, the lack of a log. The interaction had links to a lot of things I have lost memories of that seem very important, and feel very responsible for. I know when I used to spend time active on irc, I would always keep automatic channel logs, myself. It seemed like a common thing to do.

the persistence and visibility of email, even mailing lists, leads to a different style of communication. like you see here. pick your mediums as wisely as you pick your peers! *grin*

Which would be pointedly producing uninhibited increased interaction complexity, or something. Anything my occasional violation of expectations and bounds could find or provide?

best regards,

Thanks for your reference to the complex, meaningful and directly relevant, hard-to-follow animatrix episode. I saw it when it came out, but don't remember it much. The wild learning robot is tricked onto the empty stage and separates from "embarrassment". I found a scene of interconnection like you described but didn't keep hold of it. Hopefully I watch the whole thing again.
