ProcessWire IRC Channel

[netcarver]

In case anyone is interested in using IRC to chat about ProcessWire, and having consulted with Ryan about it, I have registered #processwire on irc.freenode.net for that purpose. If you are a regular on freenode, just pop into #processwire. If you are not then the fastest way to get online is probably via the webchat interface at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=processwire&uio=d4

Hope to meet a few of you in there sometime.

Thanks for setting that up necarver.

Do you know if the chat on PW, here, next to the forum works for everybody?

[netcarver]

Hi Carlos,

Sorry, I don't know. As I am often logged into several IRC channels on Freenode, I thought I'd look into extending the options for fans of PW.

The chat on the forums does work, but as it's a free license it only accepts up to 5 users (not taht that's been a problem looking at the logs).

Either way, a channel on Freenode is a great idea - I might fire up Trillian when I get some spare time and pop my head in.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the positive feedback. I wouldn't count on it being an overnight success but hopefully it can reach critical mass eventually if a few of the more experienced PW users decide to frequent it.

Congratulations to Antti Peisa for being the first to join me on #processwire!

[apeisa]

Joined (I think) but difficult to believe though it is, I know less about IRC (never used it) than I do about PW — watch out, learning driver...

Hi Alan,

saw you in there briefly. Planning on coming back?

[alan]

Ack! Yes...

I'm using a Mac client to access IRC, I've registered my nick with freenode, received their email, send my confirmation msg and all OK, but whenever I connect I get a scary warning

-NickServ- This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>

So just Googling around to try and work out what that means/how I fix it (sigh)

[apeisa]

I guess that just means that nick is reserved. Just login and choose whatever nickname suits you. No need to register anything.

[alan]

Tks, yes, only annoying as it was registered by me o_0

But I think I've fixed it now anyway, error found between chair and keyboard (when is a letter o not a letter o, when it's a number zero; what am I like...)

@netcarver

I'm slightly better with revolving doors than I am IRC clients But now I have it fixed, yes, I'll be dropping in periodically, thanks for thinking to get the channel up in the first place

I really like it but it's annoying that "nico" isn't free anymore and I have to use "Nico_"...

NicoKnol is reg'd too?

[Soma]

well it's always good to have responsive name *)

[diogo]

what about adding the channel to PW's website? http://webchat.freenode.net/

edit: oops! there is no link to it.... well, just go to that link, and then "main menu" (top-left) and then "Add webchat to your site"

edit2: and here is a custom link to bookmark http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=processwire&uio=d4

Just getting this topic up. If someone wonders if channel is still active - yes it is. Also seems to be a great support channel. We have had many great discussions already. Welcome!

[netcarver]

+1 to that Antti. The channel has been a very useful resource already.
