IRC Chat Anyone?

[Matt]

So in the spirit of keeping this community alive, I was wondering how many folks actually use IRC on a daily basis. I sit in a couple channels on freenode -- mainly just to share random links that I come across that find funny, or to help with computer questions.

Anyways, I'm going to sit in #middle_man on irc.freenode.net for the next couple of weeks. Come join me.

(my nick is zerox20).

i will be back on IRC around xmas time with the tree, but not until then.

I suppose I could add that to the auto join.

[Siiiiick]

is there a way i can get into IRC chat via web instead of a stand alone?

[PhaseDMA]

Of course.

I'm sure Matt would set up a web based client on this site.

I'll investigate that later.

In the mean time, you could check out Chatzilla.

Once it is installed, go to Tools and click Chatzilla. On the main window that opens, first go to the bottom left and change your nickname. Then click the link for 'freenode' in the main window box.

Code: Select all

[INFO]	Available networks are [dalnet, efnet, freenode, hispano, ircnet, moznet, quakenet, serenia, slashnet, solidirc, undernet, webbnet].

Once you are connected to freenode, type

Code: Select all

/j #middle_man

Voila.
