We use an IRC channel that's on freenode. It's temporary and quite useful. Feel free to join. The needed information is as follows:
irc://chat.freenode.net #noisebridge
We have a helpful bot in the channel by the name of noisebot run by adi.
Word on the street is that it's impolite to store logs of this channel. Any comments?
For those who are not familiar with getting on IRC, here's what Mitch did:
- For Windows: Download and install Pidgin (free IM chat software for Windows -- there's plenty of other free software to choose from for Windows and other OSs).
- For Macs - a reasonable client is Snak, http://www.snak.com/. It's $29 shareware with a 30 day free evaluation. A better IRC client for Mac OS X (that also supports SILC) and is Free Software is Colloquy.
- For those who run Ubuntu and are not familiar with IRC (unlikely?):
$ sudo aptitude install xchat
Then:
- create an IRC account and connect to irc.freenode.net (there's good documentation on how to do this on http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml freenode]. You can also register your nickname at freenode.
- join channel: #noisebridge
