Permalink What about a Chat room??

I installed MIRC & got in no problem. It seems easier to configure than chatzilla.

Ah, good to hear!

Got my ssh tunnel set up at work and I'm on! Dog slow though. Oh well.

I'm really quite thrilled at this. Thanks for suggesting a chat room again. I've had a lot of fun talking to some of you this weekend.

Some questions come to mind.

Should we have more than one channel? I've heard convincing arguments in both directions. I guess it doesn't really matter unless there are a lot of people in the channel, and that hasn't really happened yet.

Should we schedule a chat night? I remember we had fun with this in the Yahoo Group days.

Should we "hide" the IRC server password on a page that only registered site members can see?

I've also gotten a suggestion to display who is chatting in IRC on the website. This is kind of involved, technically, but I am looking into it. Smile

Sure. I don't think it would hurt to try one or two more just to seee how it goes.

That sounds very cool. The only problem I see is the definition of "night". With east coast vs. west coast vs. Europe, it might be hard to schedule.

Sounds like a good idea.

  1. If it gets to where there's consistently a dozen or so people talking over one another, yeah. But for now I think the one is fine.
  2. Yes!
  3. Yes.
  4. It would be nice.

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.

Okay I got a little block under the shoutbox that shows who is in the IRC channel #ShallowEnd. Smile

Oh, and don't mind sg101Bot. He doesn't bite. He's the "bot" recording who is in the room for the website.

In addition to updating the website with who is in the IRC channel, sg101Bot now spews a random quote from Zippy The Pinhead every 10 minutes. Why? I dunno, I thought it would be funny and I wanted to write some cool Python code.

sg101Bot is kind of a dull name. Does anyone have any better names? gremmieBot5000? zippyBot?

the one problem that i did encounter from those times i was in the chat room was that when i'll be waiting for someone to connect and i go and do some other stuff online and i come back to check it theres like 2 or 3 messages from people trying to tlakt o me leave after i dont respond. i think there should be like some kind of AIM sound or somethign like that when people log in or write something or at least a blinking thing on chatzilla window like on AIM. i really enjoyed talking toa bunch of people in the chat room so i wanna thank you brian for considering the chat room

Feel free to use another IRC client if ChatZilla doesn't work for you. I only suggested it because it is easy to setup and available on both Mac and PC.

Hey Zanti, suggesting a chat room was a very good idea. I'm happy with IRC and have really enjoyed chatting with everyone lately.
