My passion for IRC is quite old. I came on-line for the first time in December 1994 with my 14600 baud modem, and since then I spent a lot of time on the various IRC networks around: IRCnet, QuakeNet, AzzurraNet, DalNET and EFnet.
I’m still on two of them quite in a stable way (EFnet & AzzurraNet) and I really still like the IRC world. It’s not just a matter of old feelings, I really still love it as one of the funniest and most interesting expression of Internet.
Speaking about funny and weird expression IRC-related, I stumbled across this amazing video.
Apparentrly, someone has dedicated a Trance song (ok, that’s not my kind, but I’m very open towards musical genres) to an IRC Bot called Anna. The video is something you have to see, it’s a really a good job, and to geeky to be left unseen!
Here you’ll find the video with english subtitles on Google Video. I’m not sure I found the real home page of the project, but actually the closer thing I found is at http://basshunter.m0o.eu/anna/ ;) (…but apparently I’m not able to see the video correctly from there).
In any case, I’ll host both the .avi and the .mp3 for quite some times here, hoping this is not going to freak out my bandwidth.
Here they are:
Have fun :D
I’ll look at the links later, football match time now! But, is Anna that robot that is supposed to be intelligent? I’VE caught her out before! :) Silly Anna, she wasted my time but it was quite funny… hehe.
She’s the Bot, and she’s a female.
Of course she’s supposed to be intelligent! :p If you’ll see her again, wave her a “bye” from me.
If you’re not Swedish, you’re missing a big point about this sone. Very few “normal” people know what a “bot” is, but the word is very similar to the Swedish word “bÃ¥t”, meaning “boat”. So many people thinks the song is about a boat named Anna… When he made the video (after the song became a hit), he made a joke about that and that’s why he travels in a boat in a canal. Of course, the Swedish word for canal is the same as channel. At one moment in the video, he points to the canal and sings “she cleans up our channel”. No wonder people are confused :-)
Ahahahahaahah, thanks for the anecdote :D
That’s making the video (& the song) even funnier. Actually, now that you pointed me to the right part, I can see when he’s pointing at the “channel” (made of water :p) during his boeat trip saying “she cleans up our channel“.
Thank you! :)
