[color=#000000:post_uid0]I was chatting with a couple of forumgoers today and I had a thought: it might be fun to have an IRC chat for 5MVers sometime. Is that something you guys would be interested in trying? If so, let's see if we can agree on a time for one.[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Um...what is IRC?[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Internet relay chat. You use a program such as mIRC, Trillian, pIRCh, or IRCle (for Macs) to connect to a server such as irc.kdfs.net or irc.undernet.com to give an example. Then you join a chat room channel on that network. something like #startrek. It's much like IM'ing, only with a group of people.[/color:post_uid0]

[MaverickZer0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]If we had one, I'd have to re-dl IRC. I haven't bothered since my computer crashed.[/color:post_uid0]

[Gatac]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yay for IRC.

Gatac[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]The IM client Trillian (http://trillian.cc) has IRC, along with ICQ, AIM, MSN, and Yahoo. It's the only instant messenger I use now, and it's easy to use.[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]And it's simple enough that it's possible to coach someone else to use it with no knowledge of how it works.[/color:post_uid0]

[Standback]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'd very much enjoy that... It's be great to chat with the whole gang together. But, I've got no idea if I'd actually be able to attend or not. Most of the week I'm busybusybusy at university, where the IRC doesn't seem to work properly and I'm limited in time. And weekends, friday evenings an Saturday days are out - Shomer Shabbos!

So, I'm all in favor, and I'll be there if I can, but chances are I can't.[/color:post_uid0]

Plus you're in an inconvenient time zone compared to North America. What are you, GMT +3? 4?[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Only +2, and I'm pretty close. :eyeroll:

Now here's a challenge. Try finding a time on which everybody here could join. That's people from North America, Europe [i:post_uid0]and[/i:post_uid0] Asia.

I'm not sure that's even possible. :([/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]The solution to that is simple. Rather than choosing a specific time, set aside a day and have people drop by as they are able. You may not get everyone at once but at least nobody would be completely excluded due to being in a whacky time zone.[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]That's not a bad idea. Once we pick a day, we could each post the hours we'd be able to come, so no one would have to wait around all day wondering when people would show up.[/color:post_uid0]

[Standback]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]That'd definitely be cool.

Indeed, Sa'ar, GMT+2, and the only reason I didn't mention that as another reason for not being able to come is because I know so many of us aren't in convenient time zones to begin with. :)[/color:post_uid0]

[Gatac]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Ahem...excuse me, cat, but shouldn't that be GMT+1? That's my timezone, and last time I checked, I was a bit further to the East than you :)

Gatac[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I didn't say [i:post_uid0]I[/i:post_uid0] was in GMT+2. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, I'll certainly download it and give it a twirl.[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]Ahem...excuse me, cat, but shouldn't that be GMT+1? That's my timezone, and last time I checked, I was a bit further to the East than you

Magdeburg, Germany[/quote:post_uid0]

Hey, that's a familiar name...didn't Magdeburg get sacked, razed and wiped off the map during the Thirty Year's War?

The only reason I know that is that it was mentioned in that alternate history novel I was telling you about, Cat, the one where the Dutch fleet gets turned to kindling.[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah that's right. Just keep rubbing it in.[/color:post_uid0]

[Gatac]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Also, rumor has it that Magdeburg was originally going to be the city split in four sectors following WW2, but then the Western Allies pushed farther east and were able to shift the deal to Berlin.

Maybe it's our city-wide inferiority complex playing up.

In any event, yeah, Magdeburg was generally bent over the knee and spanked thoroughly during the Thirty Year's War. The fortifications that remain even today are worth a visit, I must say. Compare that to your usual planned, soulless American big city.

Considering IRC, I said it once, I'll say it again - yes, please. My daily schedule is far out of whack, anyway.

Gatac

(Of course, I was merely joking about American cities. They're not really that planned. :) )[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]What North American cities lack in cool old relics, they make up for in parking spots and wide roads. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, I've downloaded Trillian, but for some reason I had to use CNET's secure download thing because it just wasn't working otherwise. No idea how I'm going to get the patch.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I can vouch for that.[/color:post_uid0]

[MaverickZer0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Trillian's a script. Nice. I haven't bothered with a script since WS2.

Less parking spots, if you live in Greater Vancouver.[/color:post_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[quote:post_uid0="Kira"][color=#000000:post_uid0]...wide roads. :D[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]That would depend where you live... The roads i live on are as wide as most one lane roads... but with two way traffic :O :lol:[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]I can vouch for that.[/quote:post_uid0]

Who do you think I was referring to? *g*[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I didn't necessarily mean that the parking spots were vacant, just that they exist and are not, say, half on the sidewalk (../kira/nicepark.jpg)...[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]That sounds like a good idea. Give me more reasons to slack online, will ya?

:D

Trillian rocks. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hmm, let`s see... the time...

When it`s 10:00 in Ottawa/Toronto/Montreal, it`s 15:00 in the UK, 16:00 in Netherlands/Germany/Croatia, 17:00 in Israel and 23:00 in Singapore.

This could work, :D

(any more timezones I`m missing?)[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]23:00 in Singapore is a good time; it's not too early and not freakishly late. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Sounds good to me. :D

(Although it would be just a little later here for now, due to daylight saving and all. I [i:post_uid0]do[/i:post_uid0] wonder why that's not around the same date world-wide (except for those who don't do this), but that's beside the point.)[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Because the Earth's axis is tilted.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]It'd be 7 here. Where I am. Ahem.[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]So we'll wait until you do the daylight saving thing. Then it'll be 8 am. :p[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Parking? What's "parking"?

- Scooter (in New York)[/color:post_uid0]

[mudshark]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]^ Yeah, SF was the same way. Someone (think it was the late Herb Caen) theorized that there was only enough parking there for about 75% of the vehicles at any given time, with the other 25% perpetually circling around waiting for a space to open up. :p[/color:post_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]That looks like Maiden Rock (http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/pierce/postcards/mrmnst.jpg) (The only picture i could find, realy old, but the town hasn't changed a bit, I mean it. :lol:) It's built into the side of a hill over looking the Mississippi river... so theres realy not much room. i'm guessing that the highway that goes through town sees a little more traffic than it did then because they don't angle park on the street anymore, they parallel park on the sidewalk, its quite a funny sight.[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I took that picture in Chartres, France. Â I couldn't get over how funny it was that you're [i:post_uid0]supposed[/i:post_uid0] to park on the sidewalk. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[MaverickZer0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]You missed Pacific Coast--Vancouver/San Francisco/LA.[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Nan's in B.C. so her comment's got you west-coasters covered.[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Have we picked a day for this rendez-vous? If not, I propose Saturday (any Saturday, really - possibly a weekly thing in case somebody can't make one Saturday in particular), simply because I usually have class or seminar or research to do at 10AM during the week.

Not that I have any intention of getting up at 10 on a weekend.[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Any day is good for me if we're going to be making it an all day thing. Though I would like to remind everyone that Spike TV is holding a marathon of DS9 episodes Starting with Season one and showing them all till the end of Season two during the week of April 5th. 12pm to 8pm of pure DS9 from Monday to Friday. ^_^ Yeah baby![/color:post_uid0]

Ah, but that's why you pick a time frame instead of a particular time. Â A weekend is probably the way to go since most people won't have school or go in to work on the weekends. Â Well, I do, but that's me. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]Well, I do, but that's me.[/quote:post_uid0]

Me too, but only because that's where my Internet access is.

Although I might be playing with polymer films this weekend 'cause my supervisor is somewhat concerned that I've been here three months and have nothing to show for it.

Edit: Can I assume from the fact, Kira, that you seem to be online more or less constantly and haven't replied to my last email that it got eaten again? If you say "what email?", I'll assume that's a yes.[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I plead selective procrastination. I have to look at something outside Microsoft Word and PubMed every once in a while to avoid going cross-eyed and it's usually the forums.[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, if its going to be 11pm for me then any day should be fine, but I have to say that I may not actually turn up, as my finals [i:post_uid0]are[/i:post_uid0] in slightly more than a week.[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, if it is at the weekend, it'll have to be the one after this - I'm off to Warrington from Saturday to help dig up someones garden. Plus I've yet to fully figure out how this Trillian thing works.[/color:post_uid0]

[MaverickZer0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]You too? I haven't quite gotten the hang of Trillian yet, either.

Any weekend is pretty much good, then. As long as it's not at 1100 AM interfering with my Teletoon TV half-hour.

[quote:post_uid0="Nic Corelli"][color=#000000:post_uid0]When it`s 10:00 in Ottawa/Toronto/Montreal, it`s 15:00 in the UK, 16:00 in Netherlands/Germany/Croatia, 17:00 in Israel and 23:00 in Singapore.[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]Consider this utterly screwed by daylight savings time.

As far as I know, the new situation is:

7:00 - Vancouver/San Francisco/Los Angeles
10:00 - Ottawa/Toronto/Montreal/New York
15:00 - UK
16:00 - The Netherlands
17:00 - Croatia
23:00 - Singapore

At least for now, until daylight savings time happens in the Netherlands, UK, US and Canada... Have no idea what`s with Israel and Germany now...[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Daylight savings has been done, so it would be 17:00 here too. And I think Germany did it right there with us.[/color:post_uid0]

[Gatac]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]*Tuvok mode* Indeed.

Gatac[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]So... have we picked a day? Shall we take Saturday... or Sunday? And when is the big premiere, next weekend?

Come on, people, let`s get this thing going! :D[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Sure, let's start next weekend. Wait, that's Easter weekend... better make it the one after. Actually, let's have a test run first. How about this: anyone who can make it tomorrow afternoon, show up and we can give it a try. If it works well, we'll organize the big one.

Shall we say #5mv on Dwarfstar? The server would be irc.dwarfstar.net.[/color:post_uid0]

[Standback]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Sounds good to me. I'll try to drop by this evening - probably won't be able to hang around to long, since I'm being kept nice and busy cleaning for Pesach tomorrow.

Relieved next week is inconvenient for others as well - my family's away in the Galilee from Thursday to Sunday for a Pesach vacation.

(Pesach - Jewish spring holiday, celebrating the Hebrew's liberation from Egyptian slavery. 7 days long, the one where you're not allowed to eat any bread
Galilee - beautiful area in the north of Israel)[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'm guessing somewhere around[quote:post_uid0]7:00 - Vancouver/San Francisco/Los Angeles
10:00 - Ottawa/Toronto/Montreal/New York
15:00 (16:00?) - UK
17:00 - The rest of Europe
23:00 - Singapore[/quote:post_uid0]this time, then?[/color:post_uid0]

[Gatac]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I think it's 4 PM for the UK people. (Based strictly on how I had to adjust my watch upon crossing the Channel.)

Gatac[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]And that's also assuming that by "afternoon" Zeke meant "10 a.m." which is kind of doubtful.

I'll be at work all day, but I'll maybe drop by at some point if (a) I can figure out IRC again and (b) I don't get my supervisor's corrections on my research proposal until later in the afternoon.[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]And that's also assuming that by "afternoon" Zeke meant "10 a.m." which is kind of doubtful.[/quote:post_uid0]
True. Well then, I won't be able to make it. :bawling:

Ahem.

:p[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]My laptop has pretty much died and needs to be taken in for repairs. So i'll be offline for the next couple of days as DS9 marathon will keep me up in my room staring at the TV. Though I would have loved to come.[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'm in #5mv now. Don't know how much I'll be around today, but I'll try to make it a fair amount.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]That was, in my humble opinion, awesome!

Who knew so many authors liked Zelda?[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yes, that was definitely a success.[/color:post_uid0]

[Marill]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I couldn't even get on the server.. that was annoying :(

I know I can get on irc.webchat.org[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I would suggest irc.starchat.net in the future, but that's just me. They seem to have a longer limit on handles than Dwarfstar, which means I can call myself Schroedinger`s_Lemming and not Schroedinge.[/color:post_uid0]

[MaverickZer0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Sorry, my computer time's been kinda limited lately. I'm trying to get ahead in math. It's kinda difficult, as I think the guys who wrote our books were drunk.

Need proof? Apparently, 8=6. 8+6=6. Any questions?[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yes. Do 8 and 6 both equal 0?[/color:post_uid0]

[Derek]

[quote:post_uid0="MaverickZer0"][color=#000000:post_uid0]Need proof? Apparently, 8=6. 8+6=6. Any questions?[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]That reminds me of a language I used to program in called Smalltalk. Everything in the language was an object and could be assigned new values, including numbers. You could really hose your system if you did something like:
[code:1:post_uid0]8 <- 6[/code:1:post_uid0]
So 8+6=12, 8²=36, log₈ 216 = 3. The only way to reinitialize 8 to the correct value was to say 8 <- 12-4 or something like that. If you hosed your system too much, you had to reinstall and start over from the beginning.[/color:post_uid0]

[quote:post_uid0="MaverickZer0"][color=#000000:post_uid0]Apparently, 8=6. 8+6=6. Any questions?[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yes. Was there a division by the difference of two variables in there anywhere? ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[Gatac]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'm with cat on that one. 8 and 6 are symbols for 0.

[AKAArzosah]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]This board is clearly on topic.

666... oh, the devil's number.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]So, shall we make Saturday the official day for 5MV IRC chat?[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Actually, people seem to be using the IRC chat during the week too. It's seen a bunch of use yesterday and today.[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I think it's just nice to have some place to get together with a few forumgoers. :) But maybe we should still get a planned day to get more of us there? :D[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Knowing my luck, it'll probably end up being on the one day where I'm not free... I'll try to be there as often as I can.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]How about Saturday as an official day, and all other days as unofficial ones? :D People will visit IRC and chat every day, but a very large number of us will be there on the official day... :D[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Why not have all unofficial days? And when Zeke, or anyone else, has announcements or anything to make they could just announce on the news page or something, like a scheduled chat?

Or use a script to show when someone was logged on to the channel?

*shrug*

Just a thought. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I would recommend registering the channel and appointing Ops.

Be warned: sometimes the channel gets a rating of NC-17: not for children or the excessively prudish.[/color:post_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I haven't actualy figured out how to get on the channel yet. Is there some trick to it or am i juat slow?[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Katy, IRC is tricky and silly... Try hard enough, and you`ll get there!

Hmm... if everyone agrees, I do officially recommend Saturday for the official day for crazy 5MV chat! 18:00 GMT? Give or take a few hours... :D

And yes, the occasional NC-17 atmosphere... Or as Nan or Sa`ar put it, [i:post_uid0]5MV: After Dark[/i:post_uid0]. Good thing Cat turned 18 today, :D[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Do you use Trillian, Katy? If so, I could guide you through setup fairly easily.[/color:post_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I didn't know i needed a client, i was just trying to get the server to work as a url like java chat *blush*. Thanks to Cat i figured out what was wrong and downloaded trillian, i think i've got it figured out now. Spent some time in there this afternoon. Great fun :D

Infact i'm in there now... all alone :crying: ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[Naki]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]that last IRC was insane and pointless, damn i can't wait for the next one![/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]How the hell do you get this thing to work? I can't make heads nor tails of it.[/color:post_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Sorry Neo, i had to reboot and i couldn't seem to get back on :(

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Ask Sa'ar -- He seems to know everything about it, even though he has never seen the thing. :p

I'm still kinda confused about that.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I can't connect to the server anymore. :([/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I can get on MSN and AIM with it alright, but I can't make heads nor tails of the IRC config screen. What do all those things mean? How do I actually connect?[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Alright, I have Trillian Pro so I don't know how different it is, but we'll see. What you want to do is in the server box type irc.dwarfstar.net the port is 6667. Nickname is whatever you want your name to be, then you'll need an alternat nickname, maybe something like "nickname-" User information is what shows up after your hostname and username shows up before the hostname

ie: spots@***.comcast.com Spotted Trill

Spots is my hostname, and Spotted Trill is my user info. All these fields don't mean much of anything. You can put whatever you'd like there, or leave the defaults. After you connect to the server you'll want to open the "Status Window" for IRC. Type in /join #5mv and a new window will open for that channel. :) Hopefully that clarifies it.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]So, are we all coming on IRC this Saturday (today)? :D[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Possibly. I can connect again.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, I know I'll never look at squid the same way ever again.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Or octopi...

Say hello to Nic, Vampire Octopus Hunter.

Weird thing, IRC... :D :D :D[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah, thanks to [i:post_uid0]some[/i:post_uid0] people, I'm going to go to bed with the image of giant Croatian octopi crawling around in my head. I so needed that, like I need a good swift kick to my head... :)[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

Be there, :D

(you can be late for an hour or two if you`ll be busy...)[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'll certainly try.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]...and for those of us who aren't used to working from GMT, I give you the world time server (http://www.worldtimeserver.com) :D[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Ah. 9 AM Pacific.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Heh. That actually worked.

No one else in the room at the moment, but that'll give me all the more time to work out the stupid embarrassingish mistakes in private... ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Perhaps this (http://www.newircusers.com/ircmds.html) will help; I know I needed it last time. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou :D[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Ooh, handy.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Did we all forget about the good ol` IRC? No one is there, ever... well, almost. Come back, people! :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Of course we didn't. Well, NAH, KJ and I didn't. :eyeroll:[/color:post_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Thats right :p Feel free to join us ;) :D[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]WWell, I can't actually use it at the moment, along with everything else on my computer. At the moment I'm having top use my sister's laptop, so there's no chance of me being on for long enough to get chatting on this either. Rather irritating really.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Come to IRC on Saturday, people :D[/color:post_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]What time on saterday. :p I'm there, Cat's there, but no one else.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]*heads over to the chat*[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Come on people! Come to the chat! :)[/color:post_uid0]

[AKAArzosah]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]Working on it... well kinda.. [/quote:post_uid0]

huh?[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]By the way, I just got Opera 7.5 yesterday, and it has a built in IRC thing. Does anyone have any idea how I can get it to work? So far I've had no luck.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]There should be some documentation with Opera you can look through.[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Actually, I've figured it out now. It's not terribly clear though.

Help files? Peh. Help files are for wussies. :D[/color:post_uid0]
