I started using IRC at a young age, and I have always been fascinated with it. As a language exercise, I was thinking about programming a simple IRC client in Ruby with Shoes as a graphical front-end. My question to you, kind-sirs, what do I need to become familiar with to start on this great adventure (besides shoes and Ruby of course...
I am looking for some IRC channels for programmers. Websites, forums, and stackoverflow are good for large-ish questions, but for quick stupid things or just chatting about issues with easy back-and-forth then IRC would be ideal. Can anyone recommend IRC channels, either about specific languages or more general programming chat? ...
The situation: I want to play around with IRC bots as general communications interfaces to other code I am investigating. The server hardware would be old and low-memory, but running on a relatively up-to-date Debian GNU/Linux install. I don't expect more than a hundred users at a time, tops, and probably in the single-digits most of ...
Which chatrooms do you use to interact with other developers? Which IRC channels, for example, on freenode? What other, besides IRC, places and communities? ...
Often, a language won't have its own community, or the "official" community isn't the most popular one. For all the languages you use, what is your favorite place to visit (besides SO!) for help - or just plain discussion/complaints? EDIT: Just based on the answers I've seen so far, there appear to be plenty of reference sites too. I do...
I've recently become aware that there's a distinction between IP multicasting (which apparently doesn't work that well on the public internet) and application multicasting (which is apparently used in IRC and PSYC, per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast). Is there a good tutorial on implementing application-level multicasting? I th...
I was wondering if there is a good IRC channel around somewhere that allows iPhone developers to get together and talk about code and etc. Any channel already around that people are using? ...
I'm making a simple IRC Bot in C. And I finally got the bot connecting and receiving information. My code is supposed to be sending as well, but the server is acting as if it is not sending anything. When The bot connects, I receive this: Recieved: :roc.esper.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname... Recieved: :roc.espe...

Anyways I want the robot to check if the user is logged into NickServ to prevent any sort of fraud or anything.

Recently, I've been reading up on the IRC protocol (RFCs 1459, 2810-2813), and I was thinking of implementing my own server. I'm not necessarily looking into adhering religiously to the IRC protocol (I'm doing this for fun, after all), but one of the things I do like about it is that a network can consist of multiple servers transparent...
For a pet project, I have been looking for a web chat script capable of running potentially tens of thousands of users simultaneously. I don't want to use any kind of applet or browser extension, so on the client side, it should be simple Ajax. On the server side I'm pretty much open to anything. I'm not looking for bells and whistles, ...
In a previous question, I asked how to send text to Notepad. It helped me immensely. For part 2, here's a simplified version of the same applied mIRC: [DllImport("User32.dll", EntryPoint = "FindWindow")] public static extern IntPtr FindWindow(String lpClassName, String lpWindowName); [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "FindWindowEx...
Hey, I'm searching for a D IRC library. Yes I know there is dirclib, but this one unfortunately doesn't seem to be compatible with version 1 or 2 of the language (anymore). When I try to use it with the 2.014 alpha for Ubuntu it throws several errors. Do you've got any ideas/advises? ...

I'm in the process of doing some identity consolidation, so I'm providing URLs to me at various locations on the internet. I'm quite active on IRC, so this naturally lead me to wonder whether there was a way to provide a link to my IRC presence. This lead to me finding http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt which app...

The obvious requirements of supporting most browsers, if requiering a plug-in it should be a plug-in that is allready widley deployed and it should not put too much strain on the webserver serving the page. ...
I work for a company with a small dev team and Access to IRC is blocked. Our IT guys cite this as for "Security Reasons". I've had several problems whith 3rd party libs which I've only been able to solve by plugging in a 3G data card, disconnecting from the network and logging into the IRC channel for the dev team behind the tool kit. ...
What's the best way to parse messages received from an IRC server with Python according to the RFC? I simply want some kind of list/whatever, for example: :[email protected] PRIVMSG #channel :Hi! becomes this: { "sender" : "[email protected]", "target" : "#channel", "message" : "Hi!" } And so on? (Edit: I want to parse IRC mes...
