'..."go get thyself a real IRC program". And the chatter did as the Lord said, and saw that it was good.'
I just connected to IRC for five minutes on the javachat, and man, I'd forgotten how much it sucks. It's heaps better now than when I used to use it a couple years ago to get on IRC on lunchtimes, when I still hadn't figured out how to install mIRC on the university computer, of course, but it still sucks. Funny thing is, I could've even opered up on it, as the address I was on is in my oline... but all the notices and everything, showing up in my main screen, would've probably driven me nuts in a short time. Heh.
Must remember to burn mIRC to CD so I can stealth-IRC from work on slow days...
