[arg_discuss] Weekly IRC Chat Tomorrow

[Andrea Phillips]

I'm not sensing rampant enthusiasm for switching away from IRC. If it
ain't broken, don't fix it... So I think for now we're better off
sticking with the familiar.

And therefore! In about 24 hours' time from now, let's all hang out
and chat about our projects, our plans, the state of the business...
all of it. :)

The specific date/time is: Thursday Aug. 21, at noon Eastern US time.
That's 9am/09:00 on the
West Coast, 5pm/17:00 in Britain, and 2am/02:00 in Sydney

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  (including the pound
sign, it's important).

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.
