At http://irclog.turbogears.org/archive/freenode/repoze# if you click on "Browse Archive", then click the forward arrow that shows up, you will see the entire day's traffic. Unfortunately the month/day/year dropdowns don't work, but you can change the URL to see previous days. > Judging from the channel name list, most people here are connected to > freenode at all times. > > So, the ChatZilla Firefox plugin I started with is probably is not > going to serve me well.
