IRC Chat - #icdg

Cloud · 11-08-2003 12:41pm #1

I've set up a chat room for ICDG people to discuss broadcasting.

If you want to use mIRC (a standalone IRC client available from www.mirc.com), you need to connect to QuakeNet (you can issue the commands /connect ign.ie.quakenet.org and then /join #icdg).

Alternatively, you should be able to use the web-based Java client we have on boards.ie:

http://www.boards.ie/chat/index.php?room=icdg

All the best,

John.

Cheers Cloud, I'll make this a sticky across all ICDG boards, and venture that way later today.

byte · 14-08-2003 11:03pm

Great stuff!

Could be a great wee chat community if some of the ICDG regulars use it!

Mossy Monk · 15-08-2003 2:27am

Ah IRC, where would we be without it? (probably leading "normal" lives):D

Probably be bit more busy if/when a few more ICDG'ers give it a go!

tell me about it. i'm in there the whole time now

ShaneOC · 19-08-2003 10:57am

Hi,

Can't connect to the service.

I see the following

Connecting
Unable to connect: ign.ie.quakenet.org
*** Ident server running on port 113

Any ideas?

19-08-2003 11:58am

Exact same error as I'm getting, I think it's a browser problem.
I'll D/L a newer version later and see what happens... meantime, don't anybody be getting lonely in there...

Or possibly something to do with my broadband connection or a firewall or something, into a realm I know little about

I may aswell D/L MIRC and see if that helps

Féck it I'll do that now, work can wait a bit:D

That's the spirit

19-08-2003 12:12pm

Tiz working fine now

Only three people in there though including my self!
Shane try MIRc tiz shareware for 30 days

Mossy Monk · 19-08-2003 2:13pm

MIRC is so much better than the browser version IMO. see you all at the quiz

ShaneOC · 19-08-2003 3:40pm

mIRC didn't work due to firewall.

Will try at home later.

What quiz?

DMC · 19-08-2003 5:12pm

In mIRC, I had to set the firwall option to DCC, rather than server, got connected then.

Hey, the one day I didnt get a chance to go in, all the activity!
:rolleyes:

ShaneOC · 19-08-2003 5:37pm

That didn't work either

Me off for eats..
shane soon you will know;)

celticfc · 19-08-2003 10:24pm

Has anyone figured out how to stop that quiz ?

Mossy Monk · 20-08-2003 1:59am

why would you want to stop it. first to 15 wins. you could always leave #markquiz if you are fed up with it

Mossy Monk · 20-08-2003 2:31am

oh, i see what quiz you are on about now. why is it in #icdg?

DMC · 20-08-2003 7:28am

*cough*

ooops

byte · 20-08-2003 11:43pm

Ah the quizes!

Great laugh! The first one I remember was the #DustyQuiz, followed by the very popular #BardQuiz! Then there was DEMquiz, MarkQuiz, and heck even ByteQuiz (sadly I've little patience when it comes to researching quiz questions) !

Maybe if there were enough people online in #icdg, I or someone could run a media-based quiz!:cool:

eoinm1 · 23-09-2003 8:41pm

I have attempted to use this both at work and at home but it never works.

Also at home i DL the mirc but i still could not get it working.

Is it worth messing about with or does any one use it at all?

Eóin

DMC · 23-09-2003 8:44pm

Me, Cloud, celticfc, man, chuffy, echomadman, gerire and byte are currently in there.

Strangely no Mossy.

byte · 23-09-2003 8:49pm

It should work!

Hmm, when ya open mIRC, go to File >> Options. On the "Connect" option, you'll see drop down menus for "IRC Network" and in the top one choose Quakenet from the list. And in the bottom one choose Random Server (it'll do to get you started). Insert a Nick and Alternative Nick in appropriate boxes. and click on "Connect to Server"

When started, type the following:

/join #icdg

That should help. There may be some variances if its the first time IRC has started, like inputting your name and email address.

If all this fails, then maybe your PC is preventing IRC to work by blocking ports that IRC needs.

Let me know how ya get on. It would be good to get another ICDG regular (at the moment it's usually Man, Mossy Monk, me, DMC and celticfc);)

eoinm1 · 29-09-2003 5:22pm

I had another go last night.

I was able to connect and see that someone won the 3rd DMC quiz with 6 points. But the main body of the screen was a gray box not place to enter text.

any one have any ideas?

I am at work now so it wont be able to check it here.

Thanks
Eóin

eoinm1 · 29-09-2003 5:31pm

This is in work.

But at home the center box is gray with no info.

29-09-2003 5:57pm

Errr, you click your mouse/curser on the line under couldn't look up your hostname type and press return and up the text appears for all to see

I think you have to be logged in?? to the boards site under your nick and have cookies on etc??

mm

byte · 29-09-2003 8:23pm

We had noticed you logging in twice last night or the night before eoinm1. I think your nick was eoinm10 or eoinm40, something like that. We said hello though got no responses, and ya logged off and returned some time later as Guest.

Hope you get sorted

eoinm1 · 29-09-2003 8:30pm

I had another go while i was loged into the forums but it still would not work.

"Errr, you click your mouse/curser on the line under couldn't look up your hostname type and press return and up the text appears for all to see"

I dont get to see that part at home as it is grayed out.
The screen shot is from work.

Thanks,
Eóin

byte · 29-09-2003 8:41pm

Hmm, I've tried the web based thingy and it doesn't work for me either, just a grey box. Doesn't seem to be loading the script

29-09-2003 9:18pm

Just tested it here with ie 6 and it works fine.
Not working with mozilla though

eoinm1 · 05-10-2003 3:51pm

Eóin

eoinm1 · 05-10-2003 3:56pm

this is a pic of my screen for the web based version at home.

byte · 05-10-2003 6:25pm

Hi eoinm1

Good to see you succeeded in accessing IRC! Good to see ya! All we need now is our other main regulars, like watty, Tony, Northern Correspondent, etc, (and indeed Ronan himself) to join us!

Byteh:horned:

eoinm1 · 08-10-2003 1:08am

Cheers Eoin, I was wracking my brains trying to remember that site here in college this morning.

It still isn't working right for me ATM (it wont connect properly), but I'll keep trying.

celticfc · 08-10-2003 11:47am

Eoin, what Quakenet server did you use?

I've tried, ign.ie.quakenet.org & all the others that i could find but none of them work.

I can only manage to connect to the ones given on the caffeine-powered site:

[IRCCity] irc.irccity.nl
[IRCnet] irc.sci.kun.nl
[IRCnet] irc.xs4all.nl
[EFnet] efnet.vuurwerk.nl
[Undernet] haarlem.nl.eu.undernet.org

delighted as it happens especially if it allows more people to go onto IRC

byte · 08-10-2003 7:45pm

I found a Quakenet host that worked!

irc.quakenet.eu.org

HTH :horned:

celticfc · 08-10-2003 8:08pm

Don't worry bout that Eoin coz it's workin perfectly here @ home.

It must be something to do with the colleges firewall.

Mossy Monk · 08-10-2003 8:09pm

ign.ie.quakenet.org also works

eoinm1 · 08-10-2003 8:29pm

Thats the one i used Mossy.

eoinm1 · 10-10-2003 12:31am

I was in it today talking to Mossy
but i was kicked out and this is the error I got:

[00:07] *** Too many clones from your host
[00:07] *** Closing Link eoinm1 by ign.ie.quakenet.org (G-lined)
[00:07] *** Disconnected from IRC

~~~~~~~~~~~~

When i attempted to get back in again I got this error:
[00:29] *** Welcome to CGI:IRC 0.5.2
[00:29] *** Looking up ign.ie.quakenet.org

Any one have any idea what is going on?

Thanks
Eóin

celticfc · 10-10-2003 10:40am

Eoin, thats similar to whats happening to me in college.

Cloud · 17-10-2003 10:11pm

I think there's something on the QuakeNet site about making your IP a trusted host - www.quakenet.org

DMC · 18-05-2004 10:46pm

With a thousand thanks to Moriarty and Bard, we now have "loive" stats of our IRC sessions on #icdg......

http://stats.niallok.com/boards.ie/icdg.html

Random quotes displayed and potty mouths exposed

eoinm1 · 19-05-2004 1:25am

Is eoinm1 stupid or just asking too many questions? 17.0% lines contained a question!
byteh didn't know that much either. 16.7% of his lines were questions.

Dam you all to hell

Question ?

That is all
Eóin

celticfc · 19-05-2004 10:41am

\o/ , thanks again Moriarty & Bard for teh stattage.

One question though, will my main nick on the stats page always stay as celt|studying or will it change to my most regular nick?

DMC · 19-05-2004 12:22pm

Oh aye, mine is too, stuck with DMC-Eurovision... *cough*....

Mossy Monk · 19-05-2004 1:05pm

Stats Page \o/

where are all the potty mouths :eek:

Moriarty · 29-08-2004 8:34pm

Stats moved hosting to here a few weeks ago. Thanks go to echomadman for the hosting. If any of you want your picture up, or need your nick modified feel free to PM me.
