The one where you'd better watch out for i2hub...

I2Hub - the greatest piece of software ever invented - is probably going down. A sad, but true fact, that ever great file swapping client will inevitably be shut down. Ok - so i2Hub, for those of you who don't know, is based on the fact that universities and technology companies have started this thing called the Internet 2. It's an extremly high speed connection between these entities, which was created to share academic information and to test high speed data hardware, between universities (and long distances). So - if you're on a Pitt computer, and you wanna download something at CMU down the street, you won't access it via the regular internet, but it will know you are on the internet 2 network, and put you on the high speed road to goodness. Anyway, the RIAA is crackin down on a bunch of schools - Pitt and CMU are both on the list :( - they're suing 25 people at each of 18 schools - pretty much sending students that we are not safe (whcih was the original assumption). Anyway, so maybe I'll bit the bullet and start renting movies again (and ripping them onto dvd of course) or something. Could be fun- hahaha. No way - we'll find a new way to download free movies off the internet illegally. Internet 2, you had a good run. Maybe later buddy, maybe later.

In other news, my throat is hurting again. What the frick. Why can't I get rid of this damn thing!? Anyway. So on friday, i'm going to the Heinz Chapel Choir's formal event. It's at the holiday inn - it's gunna be a good time. Goin stag too, which should be interesting. I can't remember the last time i went to a formal event without a date. Oh wait, that happened never. It was really nice of ken to invite us too - what a great guy he is.

Hey, btw - for the record, my right butt cheek muscle is twitching. I have no idea why it's doing that. Oh wait - it stopped. Oh wait, no it didn't. There it goes again. wtf is wrong with my ass.

Ok - sorry- i'm bridging the gap between need to know and "never in Gods name did you ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ........ ever want to know" - - anyway -- g'night to all
