To steal an entire block of text from Adam:

HOW TO GET ON IRC

For those of us who may not be familiar with IRC, you first need to
download a client such as mIRC for Windows (http://www.mirc.org/) or
Colloquy for OSX (http://colloquy.info/downloads.html).

When you have it downloaded and installed, you will need to connect to
a server. Ours is irc.chat-solutions.org. The port you will need is
the default, 6667. Once you have a connection to the server, you need
to join the SIG chat channel, which is #arg_sig

You may also use the Unfiction applet here: http://www.unfiction.com/chat/

Just make sure to input #arg_sig into the channel field, plus your name & etc.

If you've never used IRC before and you're a little worried, I'd
encourage you to try it out ahead of time, it won't hurt anything. :)
And feel free to email me if you're having trouble getting everything
all set up.

As always if you have anything you'd like to add to the agenda, or any
other questions or comments, please post or email. Hope to see you all
tomorrow!
