| xannen | hey is anyone around? | 08:52 |
|---|---|---|
| head_victim | I'm here for a bit, what can we do for you | 08:53 |
| xannen | i'm not sure if you can help me. it's non ubuntu, but relates to irc. i'm on windows and using miranda irc app. i was wondering if i can join multiple different channels at the same time. and if so, how do i do it? | 08:54 |
| head_victim | Not sure how miranda works but generally "/join #channelnamehere" without the " on either end works | 08:55 |
| xannen | okay... | 08:55 |
| head_victim | So to get here generally you'd type "/join #ubuntuau" and it woudl open another window with this channel if you weren't already in it | 08:56 |
| xannen | well, ubuntu-au is on freenode channel. i want to join the brisbane room, but it is on the ausnet channel. so how do i specify it? | 08:56 |
| head_victim | You'd need another server window open. | 08:57 |
| xannen | okay... thanks. i'll try and look that up on miranda help page or google. | 08:59 |
| head_victim | xannen: http://wiki.miranda-im.org/IRC should help | 09:00 |
| xannen | yep, i'm on it :D | 09:01 |
| sagaci | head_victim: #ubuntuau is a pretty lonely channel | 09:01 |
| head_victim | I wonder how that channel is going these days, it must be years since I've been on austnet | 09:01 |
| head_victim | sagaci: heh whoops :/ | 09:01 |
| Kalidarn | im here :) | 09:07 |
| Kalidarn | xannen: use pidgin | 09:07 |
| Kalidarn | i use that on windows, it's more frequently updated. | 09:07 |
| Kalidarn | more stable. | 09:07 |
| head_victim | XChat is my client of choice :) | 09:12 |
| head_victim | Got to love having options. | 09:12 |
| * benonsoftware loves WeeChat :D | 09:14 | |
| Kalidarn | yeah i use weechat for irc | 09:22 |
| Kalidarn | don't really use IM much these days | 09:22 |
| head_victim | I have gone to using default Ubuntu stuff for IM | 09:23 |
| xannen | Kalidarn : does pidgin support multiple server connection? apparently, there needs to be some tweak on miranda in order for it to be allowed. | 09:24 |
| xannen | XChat is not free on windows. | 09:24 |
| benonsoftware | xannen: XChat-WDK | 09:24 |
| xannen | i could run VM ubuntu and use xchat? LOL but seems overdoing it just to get on irc. LOL | 09:25 |
| benonsoftware | xannen: XChat-WDK is free | 09:25 |
| head_victim | xannen: just install Ubuntu and run Windows in a VM ;) | 09:25 |
| xannen | oh is it? i did not know that. | 09:25 |
| xannen | head_victim : i play comp games, so it's better for it to be the other way around :P | 09:25 |
| head_victim | xannen: depends on the games, a lot run well on wine I'm told | 09:26 |
| xannen | well high end graphics game like sc2 have "issues" :P | 09:27 |
| head_victim | I'm told Diablo 3 works ok | 09:29 |
| head_victim | Oh and they're gone | 09:29 |
| xannen | on xchat wdk :D | 09:32 |
| benonsoftware | is there anyway for LO to remember to use en-AU when spell checking? | 09:34 |
| head_victim | benonsoftware: should be able to set it to default | 09:35 |
| head_victim | benonsoftware: also worth checking your system wide language settings to make sure they're enAU | 09:35 |
| benonsoftware | head_victim: Hmm, okies. Thanks | 09:36 |
| elky | i believe you have to make sure the right dict file is available. it's either aspell or myspell, en_AU variant | 09:41 |
| benonsoftware | is it me pr os Telstra slow now? | 09:50 |
| head_victim | You | 09:51 |
| benonsoftware | Err :( | 09:52 |
| xannen | does anyone know of any good java irc channel besides the ubuntu-java? and free access? | 10:12 |
| head_victim | What about #java ? | 10:13 |
| xannen | it said through invite only. so i guess it's private? | 10:14 |
| head_victim | Try ##java then , xchat auto forwarded to ##java when I went to #java | 10:14 |
| xannen | nope :( ## didn't work | 10:15 |
| head_victim | Hmm, works for me | 10:16 |
| head_victim | * Now talking on ##java | 10:16 |
| head_victim | * Topic for ##java is: A channel for java development questions | Paste limit is 2 lines. ~pastebin lists options | Read this first: http://javachannel.net | Android in #android-dev | JavaScript is in ##javascript | No applets | This channel is logged | 10:16 |
| head_victim | * Topic for ##java set by tjsnell at Thu Nov 24 10:50:18 2011 | 10:16 |
| xannen | i tried: /join ##java | 10:17 |
| xannen | and nothing happened | 10:17 |
| head_victim | Hmm, odd :/ | 10:21 |
| jaddi27 | worked for me also | 10:22 |
| xannen | that channel hates me :( | 10:23 |
| benonsoftware | xannen: Are you sure you're not in the channel already? | 10:24 |
| xannen | it doesn't seem like it. on freenode server, i'm only on #ubuntu-au, #ubuntu-java. on austnet server, i'm on #brisbane | 10:26 |
| elky | are you registered with nickserv? | 10:27 |
| elky | many channels keep out unregistered nicks to avoid spambots | 10:28 |
| xannen | i think so. how do i check that i am registered? but i do remember i have. | 10:28 |
| elky | you need to also have identified to nickserv | 10:29 |
| elky | do /msg nickserv help identify | 10:29 |
| head_victim | Hm I would have expected a different message than a channel being invite only for that sort of issue. But that being said, I can't recall ever not being identified so probably never seen it. | 10:29 |
| elky | often it's the irc client showing the wrong message | 10:30 |
| xannen | umm... this might be silly, how do i recover a password for my nick? i haven't use irc for a sometime, let alone on this server. | 10:31 |
| elky | You might need to ask #freenode for that one | 10:32 |
| elky | I can't find the help for that | 10:32 |
| xannen | ok will do | 10:34 |
