IRC channel?

Unread post by Vertigo »

Hey guys. If youre anything like me, your work involves sitting at a computer all day. Also if youre anything like me, you have multiple IRC channels open at the same time. Well, add one more: #nzweather @ irc.freenode.net

Has this been tried before? :P Anyway, not sure how long itll last, but Ill be in there all day every day, so join in, people!

Would love to join but having Ubuntu and Java troubles, I have been thinking of having a chat added to the forum that would be open for forum members, been meaning to talk to foggy about this for some time.

Like anything, it needs committed people to make it worthwhile, and it needs a good base of regular visitors.. I am going to be in there from now on whenever I am online, and I expect everyone else to do the same :)
