=== Say what? === As discussed in WikiIdeas, the venerable Stu has created a #hrwiki IRC channel on EFnet. So everybody come chat! === I said, say what? === *IRC stands for "Internet Relay Chat" and predates you kids' newfangled AIM and suchlike by a good 80 years. Or something. *"Channel" is what we call a "chat room". Why call it a room if there's no, ah.. walls? Generally speaking, channel names start with #. Ours is called #hrwiki. *EFnet is an IRC network, which is to say that it's a lot of IRC server's connected together. It doesn't matter what server you pick, as long as it's an EFnet server. === But how? === #If you're 13 or under, please get a parent's permission before coming on IRC. #Download an IRC client. I recommend [mIRC]. [Trillian] works, too. [IRCHelp] is a good site to get you started. #Pick a nickname. To avoid confusion, something similar to your nickname here would be nice. Mine is "MrJones". #Log on to EFnet. Your IRC client should come with a list of servers for each network. If not, check out the Servers page on [EFnet.org]. #Join #hrwiki. Try /join #hrwiki, or look for a good place to type in a channel name. #Chat. It's fun. #Also, you can check out #HrWiki-Trivia for some fun. I hope to create a H*R trivia questions, but for right now, the defualt will have to do. -Stu Speaking of trivia, I am rather interested in only having Homestar related trivia. Unfortunately, I am unable to find a decent list of questions/answers. I am wondering if you guys want to help me out. The script I am using is fairly simple. The format of questions/answers is like this. <code> question*answer </code> === Examples === <code> What is the name of Pom-Pom's dog*Trivia Time What is the name of the cockroach seen in "Personal Favorites"*Gavin </code> If you are interested in helping me out, create a txt file with your question/answers and email them to me :) swilde@cs.utah.edu Thanks, -Stu |
