Random Encounters
How many other people have strange, random online encounters like I do? Here's a quick rundown:
Today a person in my city IM'd my ICQ account.
Last night a guy on IRC had me review his code in exchanged for payment. I took a rain check on a beer or two and an attribution.
A week or two ago somebody from Turkey IM'd me. They're going to be a teacher like their parents. They also said I should study Islam.
Some time ago (over a year) a Ukranian student emailed me for help with the grammar on a paper for one of their classes.
Years ago I would get chat bots that wanted to cyber with me. They were never very good, though and always wanted me to go to websites.
