[08:52] <xannen> hey is anyone around?
[08:53] <head_victim> I'm here for a bit, what can we do for you
[08:54] <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?
[08:55] <head_victim> Not sure how miranda works but generally "/join #channelnamehere" without the " on either end works
[08:55] <xannen> okay...
[08:56] <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?
[08:57] <head_victim> You'd need another server window open.
[08:59] <xannen> okay...  thanks.  i'll try and look that up on miranda help page or google.
[09:00] <head_victim> xannen: http://wiki.miranda-im.org/IRC should help
[09:01] <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 :/
[09:07] <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.
[09:12] <head_victim> XChat is my client of choice :)
[09:12] <head_victim> Got to love having options.
[09:14]  * benonsoftware loves WeeChat :D
[09:22] <Kalidarn> yeah i use weechat for irc
[09:22] <Kalidarn> don't really use IM much these days
[09:23] <head_victim> I have gone to using default Ubuntu stuff for IM
[09:24] <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
[09:25] <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
[09:26] <head_victim> xannen: depends on the games, a lot run well on wine I'm told
[09:27] <xannen> well high end graphics game like sc2 have "issues"  :P
[09:29] <head_victim> I'm told Diablo 3 works ok
[09:29] <head_victim> Oh and they're gone
[09:32] <xannen> on xchat wdk :D
[09:34] <benonsoftware> is there anyway for LO to remember to use en-AU when spell checking?
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <benonsoftware> head_victim: Hmm, okies. Thanks
[09:41] <elky> i believe you have to make sure the right dict file is available. it's either aspell or myspell, en_AU variant
[09:50] <benonsoftware> is it me pr os Telstra slow now?
[09:51] <head_victim> You
[09:52] <benonsoftware> Err :(
[10:12] <xannen> does anyone know of any good java irc channel besides the ubuntu-java?  and  free access?
[10:13] <head_victim> What about #java ?
[10:14] <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
[10:15] <xannen> nope  :( ## didn't work
[10:16] <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
[10:17] <xannen> i tried: /join ##java    
[10:17] <xannen> and nothing happened
[10:21] <head_victim> Hmm, odd :/
[10:22] <jaddi27> worked for me also
[10:23] <xannen> that channel hates me :(
[10:24] <benonsoftware> xannen: Are you sure you're not in the channel already?
[10:26] <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
[10:27] <elky> are you registered with nickserv?
[10:28] <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.
[10:29] <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.
[10:30] <elky> often it's the irc client showing the wrong message
[10:31] <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.
[10:32] <elky> You might need to ask #freenode for that one
[10:32] <elky> I can't find the help for that
[10:34] <xannen> ok will do
[21:05] <xannen> morning guys
[21:05] <xannen> all sleeping in?
[21:25] <head_victim> Nope, walking out the door on the way to work though
[21:26] <head_victim> Fortunately, it's Friday.
[21:30] <xannen> see ya head_victim lol
[21:31] <xannen> a
