Perl six will have the scariest regular expressions in the world.

Read this ICQ conversation. Read it to the end. The bloke really didn't know the girl.

Get outline maps of all different countries here.

A friend of mine has a little site with mp3s he made. I don't have a sound card at work, so can anyone tell me if they are any good? And it's fantastically pretty too.

Play blind golf, which sounds silly but is quite fun.

I'm inclined to believe that its been embellished somewhat. Her sudden change of mood makes me a little cynical. Still hilarious though.

I have had a guy instant message me before, thinking that I was some one else.

When I told him that I was not the person he thought he was chatting with, he apologized. It seemed that he had mistyped the screen name.

So, I can see something like that happening.

did he say anything exciting/incriminating before he realised?

He asked me if he was "good" last night. hehehehe

I took it as he meant in bed ... I said mmm ... I wouldn't know ... cause I think you imed the wrong person.

That is when he realized that he mistyped the screen name and apologized to me.
