Ask HN: What IRC rooms do you frequent?
Lately I've been hanging out at #jruby, always something interesting being discussed there. What about you guys?

- davidw 18y ago#startups on freenode has a few people from this site.
- matt1 18y ago#rubyonrails on freenode
- thomasmallen 18y ago#cakephp and #python maybe...I prefer mailing lists.
- j0ncc 18y agoWeb entrepreneur talk @ http://webetalk.com/chat.php http://webetalk.com/chat.php or #webetalk on irc.webetalk.com
- astrec 18y ago#startups, #django, #clojure but to tell you the truth it changes all the time. for me it's not really a social thing - i'm just scanning for the occasional nugget of wisdom, or seeking help.
- fogus 18y ago#clojure, #scala
- ivanstojic 18y ago#startups, #lisp, #php, #dojo on freenode #java, #c on efnet
- abstractbill 18y agoSpeaking of IRC, I realized this weekend I've implemented what I believe is the world's largest IRC network (the Justin.TV chat system). According to searchirc.com QuakeNet peaks at about 170k users, whereas Justin.TV chat has gone up to 188k concurrent users so far. I should write something about how JTV Chat was implemented - there's some interesting stories.
- falsestprophet 18y agoPlease do
- doodyhead 18y agoWould love to hear about this also -- sounds like a brilliant example of reuse in software engineering.
- bts 18y agoYeah this would be great. I would look forward to it.
- r11t 18y agoSounds really neat. Please share your implementation with us :)
- ideamonk 18y ago#ai is good. #python for help in python #c++ to help ;)
- jeremychase-2 18y ago#debian, #linode, #lighttpd, #drupal-support, #wordpress, #amateur_radio, and a private channel. On freenode, oftc, and efnet. Colloquy is nice. ;)
- gecko 18y agoHave they fixed the issue where sometimes the entire chat conversion disappears until you switch themes a couple of times?
- jeremychase-2 18y agoI can't say.. I picked a theme and haven't changed it.
- r00k 18y agoArggh...rooms? Rooms is AOL-speak. :) You mean channels.
- tialys 18y ago#nmu on csc.nmu.edu My CS department runs an unofficial server that we all SSH into and screen through IRSSI. We get a lot done that way. Makes planning our ACM/LUG meetings easier too since you can scrollback and see the previous discussions.
- tlrobinson 18y agoThat's a great idea, I wish we had that in college.
- DarkShikari 18y agoFreenode: #x264dev, #x264, #avisynth, #ffmpeg, #videolan, #mplayer, #ffmpeg-devel, #mplayerdev, #xvid, #uncov Rizon: #darkhold, #cccp
- tene 18y agofreenode: #utah, #lojban, #perl6 irc.perl.org: #parrot I also hang out in my ISP's IRC channel for convenient occasional tech support.
- unalone 18y agoI haven't been able to find an IRC client I like for the Mac, so for the last few months I've been completely clean.
- gsiener 18y agoI've been using Colloquy. Not great but gets the job done.
- unalone 18y agoI can't get it to open up chat rooms. I enter in the room name and it goes entirely blank. And their help files are rubbish.
- jperras 18y agoTry prefixing the channel name with a hash (#).
- silencio 18y agoTry Help > Colloquy Chat Room. I'm there as 'jane', and maybe I'm not there all the time, but I can try to help when I am :) Also you might want to try building from svn, I've got some builds up on http://janeylicious.com/colloquy/ http://janeylicious.com/colloquy/ if you're interested. Also if Colloquy isn't your thing, there's also LimeChat and Linkinus. I've got lots of bitching that Colloquy's a dead project (with commits from a day ago...) and people who decide to switch have found those two clients to be useful, although Linkinus is shareware.
- ohxten 18y agoTry MacIrssi.
- apgwoz 18y agoIf you're an emacs user, give rcirc, or erc a shot. They're nice and simple.
- wmoxam 18y ago
- zitterbewegung 18y ago#scheme on freenode.
- apgwoz 18y ago+1 for #scheme--it's been a while since I've been on IRC, but enjoy that, #emacs (cause I learn a lot), #autonomo.us and on occasion hop into #lisp
- tlrobinson 18y ago#cappuccino on freenode ;)
- emmett 18y ago#postgresql, #ruby-lang, #python
- hapless 18y agoThere are no IRC channels in which I want to admit being involved.
- mst 18y agoMost of irc.perl.org - notably #moose is quite good for discussing meta-model type stuff even if not directly in a perl context. Plus a few bits and pieces on freenode.
- ekpyrotic 18y agoFreenode: #physics, #math, #trivia UnderNet: #philosophy, #trivia
- truebosko 18y ago#django, #python, #startups on freenode. Most active in #django, can be a pretty fun channel at times
- mindcrime 18y agoOn FreeNode, I auto join these channels when I bother to start my IRC client, which may or may not happen any given day. #trilug (Triangle Linux User's Group) #trijug (Triangle Java User's Group) #trilug-mtb (people in trilug who ride MTBs) #fedora #centos #asterisk #centos #openmoko #java #eclipse #spring #jboss #hibernate #ruby #erlang #prolog #lisp #ai #swig #machinelearning #openqabal
- herdrick 18y agoI've been lurking in #clojure lately.
- srn 18y ago#elinux and #linuxchix
- stuartcw 18y ago#space when there is a shuttle launch or other interesting live NASA TV coverage
