Many, many years ago I had a friend named Jack and you may remember him as the author behind Unicornscan.

He taught me to roflc0pter!

Back in the days (we are talking 2006/2007) when Dyad Security was bought by Outpost24) Jack showed me this IRC bot he had built. He had used a naive bayesian implementation which allowed his beloved bot (the name of which escapes me at the moment, but I think it was Whitehat).

Leave it for a few days and it eventually learned something that could be considered English by the standards of a three-year old. It was magic. I didn't understand shit at that time.

Today I do.

Unicornscan was also quite something back then... like, really something.

Anyways.

Jack had this hilarious way of ending sentences... on IRC.

!!###One!!!!#ONE!#O!EO!NO!NEroflc0pter!!!

Yeah, it makes no sense, but it was some sort of "response" to the all too familiar

lol
heh

Which most of the time when people wrote it meant absolutely nothing... still don't I guess.

Here's to Jack, who died way too soon...

@SDF Wow, I have very fond memories of this machine as it was the first instance of netmbx, our public access Unix system that was later running on a Xenix box. It had a couple of dialin modems connected to it and polled tub aka db0tui6 using UUCP
