Burningbird: Overheard at IRC

September 20, 2002

Overheard at IRC

(Note, names have been changed to protect the deliciously guilty...)

[12:19] Shelly: "Postscript: You know, there are no women involved in
the RDF/RSS working group or the RDF working group. I think this should
change. Perhaps I should lurk less and talk more. Any other lady techs in
the audience wish to join me?" Good point!
[12:20] you know, I didn't know Shelly was a girl.
[12:20] i thought that was a last name.

I like my name, but this is a lovely reason to like yours. This kind of thing *never* happens to me.

Indeed you should be in the groups. :) And I'm sure it's known that you're a girl *now*.

Woman. W-O-M-A-N. Woman.

Repeat after me all: Shelley is a woman. Burningbird is a woman. Shelley hurts people who call her girl. Shelley hurts people more who call her boy. Shelley is a woman. W-O-M-A-N.

Groups would never be the same. I'm like my weblog -- eclectic and changing direction frequently and quickly.

You're a woman? Fooled me... ;]

Honest. Just because my breasts aren't on display over at rack browser, doesn't mean I don't have any ;-)

Posted by: Shelley aka Bb on September 20, 2002 06:31 PM

Oh, please. I've been assured half those on rack browser are actually men. And I'm not talking about the obvious ones...

Sorry. You are indeed woman. :) Just playing on the original theme.

Shelley, if you need some help posting your rack pictures, I've some experience getting my own up there. It's rather uplifting to see the amount of support, eh?
