[Colchester] How to get on the IRC for our Colchester LUG

I'm connected 24/7 due to running irssi on a shell server,  obviously
I am not actually there all the time however... :p

Wayland - we do often all appear on irc, but in the quiet moments,
maybe you could have a look at what else is on freenode, freenode has
a vast number of channels to wander round, from the offical freenode
chat channel - #defocus to the main network help channel - #freenode
to many many projects like ubuntu - #ubuntu (with many offshoots too
like #ubuntu-offtopic #ubuntu-uk etc)

best way to check is to issue this command in your irc client - /msg
alis list *searchterm*  (ie /msg alis list *ubuntu*)

also, might want to have a look at the reccomended way to set up your
account - http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup <-  to get a
colchester-lug cloak (hides your IP address) you'd need to complete
the first 4 steps (the other 3 are settings to do on your client)

any questions, ask me


Regards


Gary
