The year 2006

I was going through the many text files on my computer and found this bit I wrote about the year 2006. For some reason I never had a chance to post it.

• The year 2006 will be remembered [by me] as the year when many of my chat friends got married and subsequently stopped coming online except maybe for the two times when I had the opportunity to inquire about their new family.

• The year when I wrote all the bad I think of Msn messenger.

• The year of many phone conversations with a few of my chat friends, one in particular.

• The year I met quite a few Haitians (Haitian-Americans to be precise).

• The year I watched, with horror, Yahoo messenger evolving to become more like Msn messenger until they finally came to a point where their users could communicate with each other.

• The year of the worm takeover of many of my friends' messengers.
