Techspam 

Loads of techy jargon that only one or two people in/on a channel/chatroom/forum understand.

I just made it up as I felt we needed something to define this.
IRC extract, understandable, but it's pretty techy and there was lots more.

<XXXXX> so do I do truffserv1,2,3,4 for the first ip?

<XXXXX> first box*

<*****> and all the games are visible from each address, or different games on different addresses?

<XXXXX> different games on different addressess

<*****> depends how the games are set up. i.e. if they are bound to seperate addresses..

<*****> right

<*****> so you need to make an actual name for each IP address, then aliases for each game, pointing to the name that points to the IP address.

<XXXXX> ok

<-- ###### has quit (Ping timeout)

<*****> you *can* point each gamename to an IP address, but should the IP address need to be changed, you will have more work on your hands.

<*****> as /all/ hostname/IP pairs will need to be changed, rather than leaving the cnames and just changing the real ones.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
