Oregon Country Fair in Veneta.
Just a quick poll. Anyone who currently uses IRC, what nick, which
server and channels are you usually in?
I usually don't log in everyday as it is sometimes distracting to
work, but I usually hop on irc.openprojects.net and join #php, #e
(enlightenment), #perl. Sometimes I go in #euglug, but like it was
mentioned before, there is usually nobody there. Occasionally I check
out #debian, but it is very high traffic and hard to keep up with. My
nick is 'Elihu'.
