Curious George: MoFirc? Why don't we have an irc channel?
Exposing my shameful ignorance here - whats an irc channel?
mmmm . . instant messaging. real time chat. Oh, Internet Relay Chat.
Thanks.
Don't do it. It sucks you in and brings you out the other side pale, bearded, shaking and clutching a Dungeons and Dragons character sheet with a wild look in your eyes.
I'm all for it. I thought about making our own server a while back but it seemed a little over the top. Someone pick a server and a channel name, quick!
How about #metafilter? Boy wouldn't that be evil!
#ookookook?
It's easy to register a channel on most irc servers: I recommend slashNET just because it's one I know. Here's some info on how to register a channel with them.
hehehe. I'm with stripe. But #mofirc sounds good. I vote for it, if it is there any polling on this...
By the way, any good IRC client you cand recommend?
on windows i'd go with bersirc or the mozilla IRC client. Both can easily be found with a quick google search and are free.
Thanks CellarFloor.
slashnet.
#mofirc reminds me of tofurkey for some reason. Which is not to say I don't like it.
Make that another vote.
weeeell, there's already a #monkey on /net.
their topic is the nsfw image: http://fuzzie.org/moo.jpg
doo dah, doo dah
meh, #mofirc on /net is up.
see you there, y'all
I saw you.
And only you.
Is anyone else using it?
I don't know how it works, or at least how to access it (which embarrasses me, being a final year computing student) - anyone care to tell me how? (I have mozilla, so I already have an irc client, or whatever it'd be called)
Freakin' technology, dng.
Its quite easy to use IRC. Being a computing student you'll figure out.
What? the room dissapeared from /net channels list.
I'm with dng on this one.
Went to slashnet and well...
I didn't get it working.
My question was an actual inquiry. Why it did dissapeared from /net???
I went there fairly soon after the channel was created and boo_radley was there but unresponsive. Seeing as how there's so few of us, it'll be tricky to have more than two people there at any given time.
This is a basic IRC tutorial although I don't know how helpful it is. To log in to slashnet, type the following in the input line at the bottom of the window:
/server irc.slashnet.org
When you're connected, set your irc nickname by typing:
/nick Whoever
(You can register it if it's available and when you've got some experience behind you.) To join the mofi irc channel type:
/join #mofirc
In theory, even if it's not a registered channel, by joining it you're creating it. Mind you, it's been a while since I used anything but well-established irc channels, so I could be wrong.
It seems to be there at the moment, both on the irc server (although I'm the only one there) and on the slashnet channel list.
For pity's sake, mates!
Haven't yet grasped the ins and outs of HTML and now we're to take on this, too?
Skimming the link, IRC essentially creates a chat-room.
Frankly, I abhominate this set-up, having been dragged into AOL chat-room 'conferences' and 'discussions' by well-intended friends and found them to be incoherent -- as well as plagued by passing strangers.
I was there, but nobody shown up :(
I'm gonna drink the tequila bottle all by myself...
Woo hoo! It works!
[I'm using Trillian, btw]
those with clients to chat, let them chat. Thanks boo and all for the setup!
Hmm . . true, not too many ppl hangin at any given time . .
well, with 337 potential ircmonkeys maybe we need a timezone to plan...
I understand some of you people are in far away lands - what's Idaho like? When would you like to meet on irc?
Would the MeFi's dig monkeys on their channel?
Yeah, it's straight from that other filter, but it's good ... the irc Bible.
This is probably a stupid question petebest, but is your email actually spambot9000 or does one insert your username in place of said robot.
I'll be there 14 hours from now. If anyone cares to drop by and say hi.
Right now, melinika, mothninja and I are yakking away on #mofirc. Join us!
Alnedra just came on, and varj is lurking around as well. Join us!
Who was the dear, departed monkey who posted this thread?
And we should really have years on the comment timestamp, too...
Was it Dizzy?
I don't think so. Might have been, though...
I would join you, but I am IRC impaired. Some day I will get a client to work. Perhaps if all webpages on IRC weren't so *$%& obtuse.
Seven people in here at once... is it a new record?
Uh... eight. =)
Ten, for a bit there.
On IRC: <mothninja> even though i've never met the guy, I'm now going to have a lasting mental image of Squidranch shouting "LOOK! PORN!" at the top of his lungs.
On IRC: <mfpb> if mofi is the quaint and perfect town in the countryside where you know everyone and are married with 10 kids, mefi is new york city minus all the cool people.
Oops, wrong thread for the above comment. My bad.
Hee.
On mofirc:
<bone> if there are no plaid miniskirts or knee socks at the next meetup i will be really bummed.
<melinika> uh oh, another man with the catholic schoolgirl fetish cliche.
<hicinbaby> bone: i will wear one and then you will be really upset.
Shit, did it again!
Come here!!!!
I would like to note that the #mofirc channel is one year old. As of about 6 weeks ago. Soon it will be crawling and talking.
the direct link
Ah, and the origin of the MoFirc. The history lesson just keeps on coming.
