I personally hangout on #emacs. We sometimes get Gnus questions on #emacs because #gnus is empty (#emacs is never empty) so I thought I'd invite some more warm bodies to loiter on either (or both channels). The topics for discussion are generally movies (recently, the latest Matrix), Unix, Windows (mostly complaints), LaTeX, PS2, Xbox, girlfriends, vi, math (calculus, algebra), food, beer, lisp, perl, python, java, and occasionally Emacs. Your conversation may be recorded for prosterity on the Emacs wiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EmacsChannelQuotes I use ERC (Emacs IRC client) from http://erc.sf.net. Add this to your .emacs (or .ercrc): --------------- (setq erc-server "irc.freenode.net" ; server erc-port 6667 ; port erc-nick "elf" ; your nick erc-user-full-name "luis fernandes" ; your fullname erc-prompt-for-password nil) ;; automatically join channels when we start-up (require 'erc-autojoin) (erc-autojoin-mode 1) (setq erc-autojoin-channels-alist '(("freenode.net" "#zsh" "#emacs" "#solaris"))) --------------- Then M-x erc-select RET RET RET To exit a single channel, you type /leave; to quit completely it's /quit.
