Turns out these random “salmon” IMs are a bot, picking two people who have recently updated their LJ / Deviant Art / Xanga / Whatever and connecting them by IM. Neither one of them knows who the other is and ends up being totaly confused.
I was getting seriously annoyed at this person, but turns out it’s someone different each time and has no more clue about it than I did.

I was at WalMart today during lunch and I swear I saw a zombie in the shoe section…

Oh god, we’ve already lost 12 servers. I logged out of all of them and am holed up in an ssh session on my home server. I’ve shut down all outside ports and have been using “kill” very carefully, but the zombie processes keep coming! I don’t know how much longer I can hold out until I have to reboot!

Now that’s just not playing fair.

I never was any good at foreign languages.
