Strange conversation on yahoo messenger. I used Eliza for the replies, but the guy gave up too quickly. (1:58:24 PM) hidden: I’m really sorry that I said those things, honey, but I just lost control of myself. You know as well as I do that I have struggled with anger since my childhood, when my mom died and my dad started to abuse me.

(2:01:23 PM) cdamian: Do you wish that my answer is no then your’re a giant bitch? (2:01:50 PM) hidden: porn (2:02:06 PM) cdamian: Please go on.

In my quest to try out new things and make my rented virtual server run a bit smoother I tried two (for me) new tools: memcached: I never had a need to use it, because at work we just do websites which nobody looks at. We could really have used this at guideguide, where we basically used mysql to cache some often used data which didn’t work too well.
