Weekly Chat Time!

So I think Kabal was going to put one up since Salma's gone this week, but then I decided that it's Saturday and I'm bored, and I never get to come to the weekend chats since I work and timezones are an issue.  So I figured I'd start the chat a little early this week, to pander to people who are in Non-US timezones.  Feel free to join us as you wake up, western hemisphere! Lurkers are always welcome as well.

Next week's chat will be on Sunday. Don't forget that you can log into the irc channel at any point during the week. Normally, there will be other people around.

The #cap-im IRC channel is on DALnet. If you’re using a regular irc client the server is irc.dal.net and the channel is #cap-im. There are three different options below of web clients. If one doesn't work try a different one.

Got to https://kiwiirc.com/client. Type in the nickname you wish to use. The channel name is #cap-im. There will be a little blue link that opens up the server and network info. Click on that and enter irc.dal.net as the server and 6667 as the port. Here is an example of what it looked like when I filled it out.

Teyke found yet another web client option if the two above aren't working. Go to http://www.wsirc.com/ and fill out the box to the right like Teyke's example below.


Last chat there were a few people who were able to get the http://www.dal.net/ web client working, so I've added it back here. Under Chat Now fill in your nickname and #cap-im.

Hehe, I'll delete my calendar reminder then :) And check in later.

Definitely good then :) I didn't make it on till much later myself. (Was studying.) But by then the chat was still going nicely, so good job.

It never got super-busy, but I think we were 5-8 people in there most of the time. And then I went to bed when my time zone demanded, so who knows what happened later? (The people in the Americas might ;) )
