<p>Imported from Wayback via edit</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>My client of choice is &quot;gaim&quot; ( http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ ) as it also<br /> allows me to chat on various other instant messenger networks. NOTE: the<br /> gaim program is now called pidgin and resides at pidgin.sf.net . It works <br /> under both linux and has also been ported nicely to windows. Being Free <br /> Software, it does not have any addware.<br /> <br /> My IRC setup is something like:<br /> menu / Tools / Accounts / Add<br /> <br /> Protocol: select IRC<br /> Screen Name: &lt;your choice, I used donfede&gt;<br /> Server: irc.freenode.net<br /> Password: &lt;blank&gt;<br /> Alias: &lt;blank&gt;<br /> <br /> optionally you can click on &quot;Show more options&quot; and set<br /> Real name: &lt;to your name of choice, I set my name&gt;<br /> <br /> On the Accounts window, check On &quot;Online&quot; for the newly created account.<br /> <br /> Once connected you should get a new window for &quot;freenode-connect&quot; where you<br /> can issue a command preceeded by the forward slash. Tho &quot;join&quot; command is<br /> probably the one most used.<br /> <br /> /join #rivendell<br /> <br /> To get brief help on the other commands you can use:<br /> /help<br /> <br /> To see all the current channels you can issue:<br /> /list<br /> <br /> Alternatively, if at some point you don&#039;t have a chat window up after<br /> connecting to the freenode network one can also join a channel via:<br /> menu / Buddies / Join a Chat<br /> Account: select the &quot;foouser@irc.freenode.net (IRC)&quot; account created above<br /> Channel: #rivendell<br /> Password: &lt;blank&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> Brief tips:<br /> <br /> If you enjoy keeping logs, there are options to do that under:<br /> menu / Tools / Preferences / Logging<br /> <br /> When in a chat room (aka channel), you can start a message with another users<br /> nick by entering a few characters and tab expanding it (much like bash). This<br /> will often highlight their client, bringing attention to them.<br /> <br /> <br /> While some people use IRC as a social tool, I find it valueble to assist<br /> others when stuck and to discuss design in a more realtime mode (from<br /> supporting others on #rivendell, to getting QT advice on #qt, to much more<br /> general help with linux and audio development on #lad).<br /> </div>
