IRC is where hackers go to hang out, when they don't want to be overheard. Imagine two ships on the ocean... To connect to #go-nuts channel on irc.freenode.net network using pidgin: pidgin -> manage accounts -> add account -> protocol -> IRC pidgin -> buddies -> Join a chat -> username -> any arbitrary username you want. something like tempuser9439 server -> irc.freenode.net Password -> leave blank Channel -> #go-nuts you are not supposed to use your real identity on irc Chats are logged at a place like https://botbot.me/5/log/ nothing on the internet is private. try the freenode faq http://freenode.net/faq.shtml (that's the IRC network we're on)you don't need to register. you just type "/nick whatever" email address, website, etc isn't associated with you on irc if you do /whois aphistic you can see some info about me, but that's it. not much actual information. it's more like if someone sees a mailing list post by "Aram" they can think "oh, this might be the Aram from irc". dho: I use my initials and sign emails as 'dho' |
