RE: Comscare Because I Care :)
Over the last month or so I have felt that myself and a few old friends from university have drifted apart and no longer keep in contact or chat about the geeky stuff we used to while we were on our course. Of course not all of us drifted apart. Myself, CWolf & Pringle still keep in regular contact and often play games in the evenings; and I occasionally met up with Karrde/Soupmonster since he lived with CWolf.
However, I had lost contact with neon, immure and warmfusion (well not so much warmfusion but I hadn’t spoken to him for ages, and hadn’t seen him since uni – have seen him once recently though, was great catching up!). There are quite a few others but I don’t even know how to get back in contact with them… yet.
Anyway, to stop this trend and to revitalise old friendships I started to systematically restore Comscare to it’s former glory. The first step I took was setting up a forum at http://forum.comscare.org/. Even though we didn’t have a forum before, I figured it was the first logical step since a lot of Comscarians may be restricted from IM in work and it’s rather tricky to block the web 
. The next step was to set up the old blog aggregator, which is almost done now and lives at http://blog.comscare.org/. I did a little web-surfing, trying to find old blogs and hook up their feeds but not many of us have blogs anymore (hopefully the aggregator will compel some old Comscarians to start blogging again). I also hooked up some Twitter feeds to the blog site.
I may even set up an IRC server for us to chat on but I’m not sure how many Comscarians would idle there as they may be restricted the same way they are for IM.
Anyway, if you’re a Comscarian that I haven’t mentioned, make yourself known and contact me and I’ll hook you up with a forum account so you can join in on the discussions Who knows what may come… Comscare Tournament 2009/10?

Hi jimbo, good blog post!
I hope you don’t think I’ve been puposely ignoring you or anyone else. I’ve never really got into blogs, forums or IRC, so it hard to start now, and get into the habbit. I’ve always been a facebook fan, have recently got into Twitter, and can always be found on my work IM. I’ll make am effort to use the forum, but shit is so busy in the evenings it’s difficult.
In other news, what do you recon on chrome is?
By Charlie, July 10, 2009 @ 12:37 pm
Chrome OS rather.

Heya,
Rather than setup an IRC Server (quite a lot of effort) you could create a channel on an existing network. I already sit/idle on irc.gtanet.com in a few channels. I would happily join another server and idle there as well if others preferred a different server

That’s the thing Neil, I already idle on a network, so do you and so does warmfusion… all different networks. Which one do we choose?
By Jargon, July 13, 2009 @ 9:35 am
Charlie, of course I don’t think that
I know that our situation and with work is slowly pulling us apart… this is why I’m making the effort to rekindle communications 
We had a good thing going in uni and it’ll be awesome if we can get back to that!

I’m happy to join any other network you fancy. Just give me a server address and a channel name
