IRC channel and mailing list
I opened up #dexos on irc.freenode.net for those who want to talk about DEX development. The forum is nice, but IRC can be good too. I could also set up a mailing list if people are interested :)

I've never said this but, sweet. But being in Australia I'm lucky if I can catch you all during the day :shock: I'll have a look at it. I'd be up for a mailing list. Jas2o

I've never said this but, sweet. But being in Australia I'm lucky if I can catch you all during the day I'll be on from 6:30pm-10pm Eastern time (GMT-5) most days. Sometimes on weekends I can be on later; a lot depends on my work schedule. I'll have a look at it. I'd be up for a mailing list I've begun setting up a mailing list; I'll post here once it's ready :wink:

I can't get in, it has something to do with apache. Do I need to a program? I prefer not to. Jas2o

Um, it's not a website :!: You'll need an IRC client like mirc (http://www.mirc.com) for Windows, or X-Chat for Linux to connect to it. Set irc.freenode.net as the server, and #dexos as the channel to join. You'll also have to set a nickname (I'm "crc").

It works! I need to register soon :( Jas2o

I think I'm signed up. I don't think I should be able to to go on IRC, I accidendy used the slap! button on the operator :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I should stay way, well away from it. Jas2o

I think I'm signed up. Yes you are signed up :) I don't think I should be able to to go on IRC, I accidendy used the slap! button on the operator ... I should stay way, well away from it. I don't mind at all. It's not like you tried to kick me out of the channel ;) Besides, it's kind of interesting to see people get slapped with a large trout! :wink:

Good, i though I might have emailed something wrong. :roll: I wouldn't even think of using the kick on a dex user, now if it were a v2os member... I think we all know the answer to that :lol: Jas2o

Jas2o, you should have some respect for the dead, as v2os is dead :lol:.

jas2o- 01-31-2005

What if v2os (not that it would) were to come back? Would it still be dead? If that day were to ever come I would lock my self in th first cupboard I see. I think I would be that freeked out. Jas2o PS: ASHLEY4, you been on irc yet?

I do not use them, as people use them to put things on your PC, like virus's, spy-ware etc,:shock:.

I prefer the online ones as I don't think you can download files. While with mIRC I get a message saying if you accept or not. Same with private chat. But then i we have a forum the massages don't poof away when we logout (unless we delete them). Jas2o

I'll finally get broadband sometime around februari, so then i am going to sign up. I live about 10km from the nearest city, with our on telephone station only for 20 houses, so i didn't think i would live to see the day we got ADSL (thanks, government contribution)... :lol: But when i do get it, it will be with the "standard" max speed of 8mbit.... :D but I don't think they will upgrate it for us when "ADSL 2.0" (24 or 26 mbit) goes standard in about 6 months.. :? Sorry for this, had to tell someone, since i have been waiting for this a looong time.
