I was in freshman typing class. Typing class was a module within a
computer class. There was a test program which ranked us with a score.
The object was to repeat the sentence on the screen with few mistakes
at high speed. The program was in BASIC. One thing you may have
learned about BASIC is that it is (usually) possible to see what is
going on with the program, at least in narrow regions. I told the
program to make it so that each time one of us pressed a key, the
proper key was triggered both on the screen and in the scoring match.
I know I scored over 100 WPM, and if time hasn't exaggerated it, 155
WPM in my best session.

I'm on a popular irc client. I'm not going to say the name out loud
because their security key system is ph4il and I did not have a
particularly good time with the registration system involved. I am
having a pretty good time messing with these people a lurker here
introduced me to. Suddenly, one of the more fanatical of the
opposition privately told me that this one guy had informed her that I
was a bot and that I would have to be banned.

If you squint your eyes that way, they are gonna stay there.

Self referential humor?

xanthian, having managed by careful tending to
make one 'nym last these 21 years now.

Why do you find it so difficult to make one last
even a month before you've worn out your welcome?
