Why I might be a redneck

My dad forwarded me an email this morning (something I usually hate), but this one caught my attention. It is the old Jeff Foxworthy joke, “You might be a redneck if…”, but updated. And then it hit me, #15 on the list.

Bypass IRC Blocking

As I was trying to fix my Wordpress install yesterday, I attempted to connect to the #wordpress channel on irc.freenode.net.

I completely understand the author’s purpose in writing [...]

Tigers and Orangutans
