AIM, Coho, AI, bots, oh my!

Not for the first time, I was greeted today with what appeared to be IM spam:

molecularcoho: Hey, Jimmy.

agerstein: wrong

MolecularCoho: Who is this Jimmy?

agerstein: thanks to an AIMBot, we've been forced into a chat with each other. i'm actually reading about what causes it right now, so i hope to be able to send you a link on how to get out of it, since i'm guessing you didn't know about this anyway

MolecularCoho: Right, I'm going to go away.

agerstein:if you're still there... you can put $optout on a blank line in this chat, and it should stop you from getting this crap in the future

agerstein: $optout

MolecularCoho: OPERATOR: Are you sure you want to opt-out? If you do, you will *never* be contacted again on the account "agerstein". There is *no way* to opt back in and undo this.

MolecularCoho: If you are sure, type "$optout 59D3". Remember, this is permanent and irreversible!

agerstein: $optout 59D3

MolecularCoho: OPERATOR: You have opted out. The accout "agerstein" will *never* be contacted again. Good bye!

Feel free to email projectupstream@gmail.com with feedback, comments, complaints, etc.

It would seem that Project Upstream is some kind of social networking experiment. I wouldn't mind so much if I had opted into the program, but the way that they just start using you in their little experiment without so much as a warning is disturbing, to say the least. Their website doesn't have any documentation, and if it wasn't for the google search I did (aim facebook coho) I never would have found out about the ability to unsubscribe from their "service."

Hopefully they'll get a clue about their invasiveness - I'll be sending them an email to let them know just what I think.

More AOL fun

Adam: now i have to fix an imac on the super-quick tip, then fly over to (famous ivy league school) biohazard crew and replace a hard drive. i went into a lab looking for someone, then saw that i'm not supposed to be in there unless i'm "authorized"
Adam: i hope i'm not the next vector for the sub-asian superflu.....
my friend: oh yeah!
Adam: i think it was mostly to keep peeps out - it's not like i was all "oh, that looks tasty - let me drink it!" or nuthin
my friend: :)
Adam: although that little jar of jello was QUITE tasty
my friend: mmmm....
my friend: did it glow?
Adam: have you ever heard of "agar" brand jello?
Adam: :)
Adam: agar brand jello - "mmmm, that's tasty!"
my friend: "-D
my friend: :)
Adam: maybe i should have taken note of the big ol' biohazard symbol on the door.....
my friend: nah.... i ignore 'em all the time o'er here.
Adam: me thinks i should grab a few biohazard stickers and sample bags while i'm there - might be good for lunch some day ;)
my friend: :)
Adam: i used to use bags like that for my snacks

Damn spammers won't stop...

His I number of confirmation is 9092. In order to demand its price, it calls to 305 371 7144. Thanks to be member of our service.
