Thanks you must be one of the few K5 users who like me alive. Most told me to "kill yourself" when I posted a diary. I think it started a K5 trend to post "kill yourself" after a Blastar-like diary.

I am learning how to program all over again. I started with ANSI C and GCC and worked up to C++ with G++ in Unbuntu. Just small programs I'll move on to bigger stuff later.

Just hope I don't end up like MDC, I hear he's been 5150'ed again in California.




Small world. I remember quitting K5 after it filled up with people I couldn't call friends.

Take care.


Thanks friend, good to hear from you again.

I hope Mike Crawford gets out of jail, he did some 911 phone calls and bragged about it on K5 and then crashed Hacker Dojo and other startup events. Here is a musical mix of his 911 tape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7RglDs2DkA It has the Crawford Cats in it as well.

Crawford sees himself as a hacktivist and has been suicidal in the past. Here are some of the things that got him in trouble:

I remember a lot of mental illness and suicidal folks. Many were people I had good conversations with. A lot of the time it felt like family.


Yes but the trolls chased us/them all away from K5.
