    From IB JOE@VERT to All on Tue Nov 12 16:07:35 2013
    I have version 1.40 of the IRC java script and was on vert and noticed rob has 1.48 on his bbs...

    I have hunted and I'm wondering where I can get this version as I am having issues with 1.40

    Thanx

    Joe

    Hi,

    [21-07-16 10:06:03] --> Alprunty (alprunty@vert) has joined this channel. [21-07-16 10:06:16] <Alprunty> is deuce here?
    [21-07-16 10:06:58] <Alprunty> hello is duece here?
    [21-07-16 10:07:16] <-- Alprunty (alprunty@vert) has left this server (Alprunty).
    [21-07-16 10:20:37] <Deuce> Deuce is here.

    This is so typical. (New) People ask a question on irc, and leave within a couple of seconds when they don't get a response immediately. That is not how it works! People aren't constantly starring at their irc window just in case someone decides to ask them a question. You even need to be a fast typer to respond within the time before you left the channel...

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Looks like you were using the IRC client on Vert - which is good for brief visits, but not a great way to idle and wait for a reply. Best to install an IRC client on whatever computer you normally use and leave it running in the background; then (barring netsplits and such) you're always connected and can just check in once in a while.

    That said, unless you manage to catch the right person at the right time on IRC, it's probably best if support discussions take place right here. You're far more likely to get a response, your audience isn't dependent on who's connected at the moment when you ask your question, and other people will be able to find the conversation in the future, which may help them.

    Oh, and there's a Yahoo! group as well, and I wish that people would stop using it. Just throwing that out there.

    I pay $5 a month for irccloud.com - it lets me stay on multiple
    server/networks unlimited channels all the time and see an almost unlimited backlog of chat so that when I get on after a few hours/days I can see what was talked about. They also have a pretty good mobile app on ios/android. I think they also have a free option with only one server connection. You can run your own IRC proxy, but I really like their service so far.

    I use it a lot for work as well - I should get them to pay for it. lol

    I tried... right now I'm maintaining my system via VPN tunnel and the Hotel Internet here is abysmal.

    Btw: Do you sleep at all? ;)

    Not right now have a lot of anxiety... lot of people would never guess that I'm out of town recovering from a surgery. They asked me to stay here until Monday to monitor the eye that I had surgery on. Im not exactly seeing out of it clearly at the moment and they want to make sure they don't have to do another procedure next week.

    Hard to sleep when you have that on you... but I guess I will get plenty of sleep when I'm dead.

    Take care of yourself Wilfred

    I have an IRC Client but now am goign to have to install a vpn client on this little notebook. I'm trapped for the rest of the week at a hotel that has abysmal internet, blocked ports. From what I can tell they only have a 5m connection split between all the guests. It's an "americas best value inn" and we had many of them as customers when I worked for Charter/Level 3. Mr. Hotel Owner was always cheap and would not spend $1 more to get the 50m connection... seriously!

    I think for a speedy recovery it's especially important you get some good nights of sleep!

    I am getting sleep... just usually in 2-3 hour blocks I average about 10 hours a day. If I want to sleep just turn the television on and start watching something I really want to see... i'm doomed lol.

    Plus synchro is really intriging me right now. It's proabably one of the most robust softwares out there.

    Wish I could buy him a beer and thank him for everything some day.

    Even better idea: Get a Digital Ocean droplet ($5/month), install screen, and just use that to idle in IRC. Unlimited servers, networks, connections, etc. Just a 1TB bandwidth limit.

    All of these workflow apps that are taking corporate america by storm and getting huge stock valuations like Asana and Slack remind me of a decade ago, when we set up IRC, LDAP and an NNTP server and did the *exact* *same* *thing*, but for free with standards-based servers on our own premise.

    Exactly. I've been trying to explain this to people, but somehow, they don't get it, and I'm told,"Those aren't agile solutions!"

    When I go on IRC no one ever talks. Why is that?

    most folks are idling... not just chitchatting...

    if you have a question, post it and then wait/idle for a while... eventually someone will switch over to their IRC client and notice it... they may provide an answer... if you're idling on IRC, you'll get the response as soon as they type it or as soon as you look to your IRC client... if you post something and then leave, you'll miss any answers that may be posted...

    don't ask to ask, just go ahead and ask and then idle... it may be a few minutes or it may be a some hours before someone responds... if someone posts a
    response to your question, they'll generally prefix the answer with your nick so your client will beep or flash at you letting you know that someone spoke to
    you...

    that's all i have time for ATM so i'll stop here...
