 Thanks for all you do in this group Erich, Ovenwerks and others. Perhaps add '_volunteer' to your handles so people coming in to the group know this?
[13:49] <OvenWerks> @Chris: thanks for the idea. There is a (rather short) length limit to a nick in irc (10 char maybe?) so hard to do.
[17:15] <veremitz> its easier to note in IRC because you have @/+ symbols available ..
[17:16] <veremitz> but yeah .. 16 chars possibly on .. Freenode?
[17:16] <veremitz> yup - " NICKLEN=16"
[17:18] <OvenWerks> um, that looks like 11 not 16
[17:20] <veremitz> " sofastrangler " is > 11 ;)
[17:20] <veremitz> I wonder if the bot is truncating then?
[17:20] <veremitz> or. else.
[17:21] <OvenWerks> It could also be my irc client irssi... or a client I had before.
[17:21] <OvenWerks> Actually I think it is that anything over 10 charcters is not unique
[17:24] <OvenWerks> so a user name of 12345678907 is the same as 12345678909
[17:24] <OvenWerks> That is if you try to use the second one when the first is already in use it will get kicked out as used
[17:25] <veremitz> ah possibly
