SGL IRC ?

[Tim]

Just noticed whilst browsing the board that there are loads of us on atm.

What about an SGL irc channel so that we could waste even more time.............

Just an idea?

Hi TJ,

Anyone in SGL (or elsewhere) wishing to have a gab is welcome to use our channel.

tbh it hasn't been very busy. IRC is a bit retro for some people and those that have been on the channel don't tend to hang around long enough. Idle a while if nobody's responding and if you're using mIRC set a remote to

on *:TEXT:*:#: /splay C:\WINDOWS\Media\ding.wav

So that it pings when someone speaks

In saying that, if someone in SGL wants to start a proper SGL channel I'll happily idle there too

Cheers

Theres quite an active astronomy channel on freenode

in mIRC type /server -m irc.freenode.net -j ##astronomy

Having used IRC in the past for real time problem solving, I just thought it might be handy for the sgl crowd, who undoubtedly will be outside on mostly the same nights, many of whom with a laptop with wireless,

I'll maybe pop into that channel one itme then, cheers

The only problem about the channel on FreeNode is that there is no java applett to access it from a browser like there is on quakenet.

This is the java link to ours http://gogloom.com/client2/index2?mainCHAT=1&network=QuakeNet&channel=%23CSOG
