Dave2 Wickham's Journal: MicroRant™ - now playing - N.W.A - A Bitch Iz A Bitch

Am I the only one who feels like tracking down the first person to write a media player/IRC client integration script and whack them around a bit with a large trout? Does anyone really care what the other person is listening to? For those who are lucky enough to not have to endure these, have a small example:

* elDiablo listens to "Sasuke - Faint small" [02:58/21.64mb].
* ReflectingGod listens to "The Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin'" [03:25/3.17mb].

Did that information add anything to the channel? No! It just annoys people in the channel.

I have a bunch of aliases like those ones, to mock pointless scripts. =)
