I thought this would be a cool idea to try out. Lots of threads here go offtopic - not that that's a bad thing, since most of the time it's interesting, humorous discussion. This lead me to think that a room to talk in, wheather it be offtopic or on audio/tech stuff on the fly would be something worth trying out, and extremely simple.
IRC for those who don't know it is a medium that used to be used before AOL chatrooms and whatnot.. you connect to a server, then to a channel on that server, and you're in a room. There are countless rooms on countless servers. It's better and more flexible than any other chat medium today.
It's pretty easy to use. If you use a mozilla based browser such as firefox, just get
chatzilla. If you want a seperate program, try
mIRC, or
xchat.
Ignore all the fancy options and type the following in any IRC client to get to the channel.
In reply to:
/server irc.freenode.net
/nick [your nickname here]
/join #axiomaudio
Or set the default nick in your client, and click [url=irc://irc.freenode.net/axiomaudio[/url].
I keep the client on, so it'll show me as there even if I'm not on at the time. Hope to see some familiar faces.
