EIC IRC. Come join us in the chat room.

[Lincoln]

IRC, standing for Internet Relay Chat, is a means of communicating in real-time online. There are several websites that host servers on which you can create and register rooms.

We have registered a room on Esper.net. There are several ways to connect, all listed below. The room's name is #EIC - once you have joined the EsperNet server (which is irc.esper.net), just type /join #EIC.

On your computer:

• My recommendation is to use a downloaded IRC client. These are desktop applications that are much more powerful than online clients. For a Mac, use Colloquy (http://colloquy.info/) and for a PC, use mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/).

• You can use Esper's online Java client (http://esper.net/pjirc/index.php). While it is not as powerful as desktop clients, it is still stable and easy to use. Just click the link, type /join #EIC, and hit enter.

On your iPhone:

• There are several IRC clients available in the AppStore. I recommend either Colloquy (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=302000478&mt=8) ($1.99) or Rooms (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=288282245&mt=8) ($1.99).

Please Note: The IRC room is not run by EverythingiCafe and the site is not responsible for any comments, language, or anything else that occurs in the chat.

[psylichon]

Edit: There is a website called Mibbit that offers a very nice alternative to Espernet's Java client.... and it works pretty well on the iPhone, too. It's definitely the easiest way to logon for a quick chat from your phone:

http://mibbit.com
Esper.net

Don't bother with the channel because it won't autojoin you anyway. Just pick a nickname and hit "go".... you will see the new server tab appear at the top. Click there, and when it's finished logging on, type

/j #eic

This will make an eic channel tab along the top... click there and you're in.

[psylichon]

***Updated Jailbreak IRC client instructions***

1. Download ColloQ from installer. This is a modified version of Colloquy. Colloquy works and is nice, but ColloQ has added features (such as the ability to do actions like "/me winks") and is more stable.

2. Add a connection:

Host name: irc.esper.net
Port: 6667
Uses SSL: off
Real Name: (I leave blank. You don't need this)
Nickname: (choose your mobile nick. I use psylichon-mobile)
Password: (only applies if you use Nickserv... another FAQ)
Alternates: pick an alternate nickname in case you get disconnected (which happens often on mobile)... you will reconnect with this name until your "ghost" drops from the system.
"connect at launch": on
"join rooms": #eic

That's all you need. Once you connect, click on the #eic channel that pops up and you're in. The button on the top will tell you who's in the room. If it doesn't work, go back using the top left button, then back into the #eic channel. The user button will work then (it's a bug).

One more thing.

3. Download "Insomnia" from installer and run it when using ColloQ. It will help maintain your connection so you don't disconnect as often. It's not perfect, but it really helps.

Other than that it's easy sailing! See you on there.

[ArEa_CoDe_415]

Welcome to the forums. I hope to see you in the room soon.

I went in there, but I think I am alone.

[kokogirl]

IRC, standing for Internet Relay Chat, is a means of communicating in real-time online. There are several websites that host servers on which you can create and register rooms.

We have registered a room on Esper.net. To visit the room, click this link (http://esper.net/pjirc/index.php), wait for the page to load, and in the box that appears, type /join #EIC and hit Enter.

http://img.skitch.com/20080609-rh4wpw69egeg4ae44qfc3ywa4c.jpg

You can also use IRC clients for your computer to connect. If you're using Windows, you can use mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/), and if you're using a Mac, you can use Colloquy (http://colloquy.info/). The IRC server is irc.esper.net.

The colloquy looks better than the first thing I used. I am so old. I am not knowledgeable about chat rooms.

This is the wrong place to post that question, but I'll answer it anyway.

The point of jailbreaking is to allow the iPhone to run third party applications. Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple in any way and can be risky. You do not need a Mac to do it. However, in a few weeks Apple will release the AppStore which will do the exact some thing as jailbreaking, but do it much more safely. Therefore, I suggest you do not jailbreak.

[psylichon]

I got tired of being one of the pawns for the "I'm a channel operator, watch me kick everyone out" power demonstrations, so I'll stick to the forum.

Man don't be like that. I enjoyed having another camper in there. John doesn't hang out long :foot:

He was not powertripping. He just didn't understand why you were idle. I'm pretty sure he won't do that again.

I just discovered that you can connect to the room via Esper's CGI client. See OP.

EDIT: Just saw Dave already posted that. Whoops.

I updated post #2 of this thread to link to mibbit. I think this is a nicer interface than Espernet's client. This is, of course, personal preference.

But it also works nicely with the iPhone. Check it out.

does it work through Safari? I don't have a jailbroke iPhone anymore since I got the 3g. I sure do miss colloQ

Yes, it does. Very nicely.

By the way, OP edited, thanks again, Dave.

[styfle]

for the noobs to irc out there you can get chatzilla addon for firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16
and just type this in your url:
irc://irc.esper.net
then type:
/join #eic

[themanofthedark]

Dave.

didnt i teach you how to do this on colloQ, on that night when i was kicked off every 31 seconds?

[psylichon]

Simon, I think you may be confused. This thread is not the EIC chatroom (the closest thread to that would be here (http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/official-iphone-camping-plans/test-post-only-dont-read-18020.html)), however if you read the first couple posts you'll find the info you need to get to it.

Deep stuff, though. Thanks :)

That and a metrocard could get you on the train.

[Hayesimus]

the irc has been soooooooo dead lately. come on peeps! let's chat! not right now though. i'm off to work in an hour. :p but after that! oh yeah, let's chat!

[psylichon]

Aw, I got the busiest week in a long time coming up .... 60 hours till next weekend. You couldn't have picked a worse time to drum up business, Hayes... for me. Oh well, time to fire up ColloQ...

:D

[Starry]

the irc has been soooooooo dead lately. come on peeps! let's chat! not right now though. i'm off to work in an hour. :p but after that! oh yeah, let's chat!

Uh thanks for the invite.. but I'll pass..

[Hayesimus]

starry??? You sound as though u find the IRC distasteful or something... What gives?

[Starry]

IRC distasteful? NOT at all....

[aggieman]

I was on for a few yesterday between football games Hayes, but you missed out.

My next once a month appearance will be sometime in October :tounge:

[Starry]

I'll be back October too.... 2010 LMAO

[Hayesimus]

I MIGHT still be here. :p

[psylichon]

Uh thanks for the invite.. but I'll pass..

I'll be back October too.... 2010 LMAO


Did I miss something?

[sigh] I miss the days when people just came out and said what was on their mind...

[Ramesh]

IRC distasteful? NOT at all....

IRC is fine. Everyone is cordial. 'Nuff said.

[Starry]

Did I miss something?

[sigh] I miss the days when people just came out and said what was on their mind...

*shakenhead*

[psylichon]

Starry, I know you told me of some grievance at some point, and I probably should remember. But honestly, I don't. And frankly, it would be healthier for you if you forgot about it too. Harboring bad feelings for long periods of time is pointless and counterproductive to life.

And we miss you.

But... I know you also have a real life, so I hope it is going well, sweetie! :-*

[Starry]

I posted a long comment but forget it... it's time to go

[psylichon]

Good to know.

Don't mind us, folks... try the chat. Despite the glowing reviews, it's actually quite fun!

[brooke03]

All is quiet in the chat :(

[acosmichippo]

quiet, indeed. you're not even there.

[brooke03]

quiet, indeed. you're not even there.
Oh well I got bored :p I shall return!

[Hayesimus]

sorry folks. I've been at work. Look for an actively IRC hayesimus tomorrow evening!




Please try to contain your excitement... :p

[psylichon]

I'm always there in spirit. Work has been heavy. Try typing dave or psy. If I'm around I'll answer.

[Hayesimus]

or else...

[jjvaldez]

there is no one there....

did the room move?

[psylichon]

there is no one there....

did the room move?


Um... you were there, but now you're not, JJ. :foot: Try again? We're in the same place on irc.esper.net.

[jjvaldez]

i just tried again via mibbit dot com, using /j #eic and nothing... ill try the other thing

[projectdarkside]

What happened to the chat:gasp:
-I haven't been in the chat for months lol!, Where is it now?

[Saverino]

I think its the same as before.

SAVERINO! what up!
-Well I went to the link in the first post and stuff, and for some reason it said it could not connect to the server or something:gasp:

[Saverino]

[projectdarkside]

Unable to connect : java.security.AccessControlException : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission irc.esper.net resolve)

Are you on your PSP?

[projectdarkside]

No LMAO!!
-My PSP could never load and keep up with an EiC chat haha!:tounge:

Im on my laptop...maybe theirs some stuff I need to download to fix to problem, cause since summer break ended my laptop has crashed 2x! Its like this laptop is guaranteed to crash once every 1.5 months lol!

[psylichon]

What happened to the chat:gasp:
-I haven't been in the chat for months lol!, Where is it now?

It is always there. Problem is no one hangs anymore. Get an IRC client and leave it running. Camp out. Set up notifiers when people talk. That's the thing that keeps the channel running.

For what it's worth, I'm always there, even when I'm not. Type psy, psylichon, dave and it will page me. If I'm in the room, I'll say hey back.

Let's revive the chat. IRC is pretty fun once you get into it.

Dave's right.
I'm pretty much always there too.

[projectdarkside]

Im with you their man:laugh2:
-I used to love coming to the chat at night cause thats when EiC was really slow, and we would have so many random topics like the yo mama jokes and stuff lol:tounge:

[psylichon]

Chat begets love.

[Buffy]

Chat begets love.

And, apparently, spam. :rolleyes:

[psylichon]

Life begets spam.

[acosmichippo]

damn, I reported that last night, too.

[projectdarkside]

Haha I just reported him also:tounge:
-Too bad I'm at school cause if I wasnt I would FAIL the he!! out of him lol!

[TarekElsakka]

I would like to inform you guys that the server isn't connecting/working anymore. I tried on mIRC and I also tried on esper.net but it says that it can not connect.

Sorry if that's just me.

[patrickj]

Sorry if that's just me.

I just got in OK - chatting in there now ...

[Lincoln]

The server's fine, as is the room. Sure you're connecting the right way?

[up10ad]

I'm in fine as well. Put down the hash and try again. j/k ;)

[TarekElsakka]

I opened Esper.net, choose the Conect To on the top right, then the chat room opened and it said Connecting... then suddenly it says Java connection time out. I guess there is something wrong with my Java or what?

[psylichon]

Try the CGI client. And don't forget to to join #eic.

[projectdarkside]

How do you IRC from your iPhone :gasp:
-I remember Psy and Sav would sometimes chat from their(Hope I used that correctly:tounge:) iPhone and I would also now like to try that...I went into Cydia and found something about IRC but didnt know how to get it set up

[Ramesh]

Yes!!!!!! :)

you can get "Rooms" from the AppStore, or you can use "mIRC" from Cydia. Once you get one of those, follow the directions in the first post. :)

[TarekElsakka]

I am on the CGI:IRC client now and it's working flawlessly. Thank you very much, Dave.

yo!!! wassup George?

[glsda]

Well I did it. Thanks for the help fury.

[TarekElsakka]

Thank you soloman, you too.

[projectdarkside]

Yes!!!!!! :)

you can get "Rooms" from the AppStore, or you can use "mIRC" from Cydia. Once you get one of those, follow the directions in the first post. :)Thanks Ramesh:laugh2:
-I followed you advice and it worked flawlessly! Now I have set that once I click on app that it loads straight to the EiC chat! :)

It even works great with the iPhone 2gs edge with all replies quick and smooth

[glsda]

Is there any way not to lose the 'thread' when you log out especially when you're on you iPhone?

[Witness]

Anybody online right now? So far its only me and Turner.

[projectdarkside]

Ill be on in a second :)

[Witness]

Ill be on in a second :)

I'll see if I can install an irc on my phone.

[projectdarkside]

Yeah thats what I did and it works GREAT!!:laugh2:
-I highly recommend yo do so :wink:

[Witness]

Yeah thats what I did and it works GREAT!!:laugh2:

Which one did you install?

[psylichon]

Rooms. Apps Store. It's great.

[Witness]

Alright, thanks.

[kenneth]

Kenneth is in.

[De1Phi4n]

you guys should make a chan on efnet, the iphone chan there kind of sucks but efnet has the most chans. noone wants to join an obscure server just for a dead iphone chan. but IF YOU BUILD IT on efnet THEY WILL COME.

[Lincoln]

The IRC room's been a bit slow lately, as I've noticed when I've popped in from time to time. Hopefully that's start to change now that Apple seems to be gearing back into iPhone mode. I'll be in there at 10PST (1EST) on Tuesday during the 3.0 Software event if anybody would like to join me. We did the same thing last year during WWDC when the 3G was announced, and we had our own kind of live-blogging thing going by listening to an audio stream of it and reading blogs like Engadget. It was quite fun then, and I'm sure it will be this time around as well.

[psylichon]

It was fun. As of now, I have off Tuesday during the day, so I plan to be there as well.

[Hondamaker]

Count me in as well!

[up10ad]

I'll attend, and I'll bring PBR for everyone.

[Hondamaker]

I'll attend, and I'll bring PBR for everyone.Yuck!! :foot:

[FlwrPwer]

Well this is sad. I can't be there. :frown:

I can make it at 5:30! Who'll be there then? :tounge:

[psylichon]

I'll be there, sweetie. ;)

[Hondamaker]

I'll be there, sweetie. ;)Put it away, Dave.

[psylichon]

I've been there to hug her after school every day... where you been??

Wow, that sounded bad.

[up10ad]

Yuck!! :foot:
But Dave likes it. For me I'm bringing Modelo Especial.

[TarekElsakka]

I've been there to hug her after school every day... where you been??

Wow, that sounded bad.

He was there to kiss after school every day?

[psylichon]

As of now, I have off Tuesday during the day, so I plan to be there as well.

I just pushed a session back to noon tomorrow so I can join in the fun. You folks better show up :tounge:

[FlwrPwer]

I just pushed a session back to noon tomorrow so I can join in the fun. You folks better show up :tounge:

I still can't be there. :frown:

[Ramesh]

Isn't the event at 1:00 pm your time?

[mittenman]

Yuck!! :foot:


Doesn't get a blue ribbon for nothin'..........

[psylichon]

Isn't the event at 1:00 pm your time?

Crap. Guess I'll be missing it this year. There wasn't much leeway in rescheduling this session, so there's no way I could have made it work anyway. :(

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I'll attend, and I'll bring PBR for everyone.

Phrase Broad Match? Cool!

So ColloQ is no longer available?

[FlwrPwer]

Ok, so I was all ready to order the refurbed Macbook Air when my dad calls and says that one of the rumor sites has a rumor that a tablet is going to be announced tomorrow....

Anybody else heard this rumor?

[psylichon]

I wouldn't put too much money in that bet. Tomorrow looks like it's gonna be a pretty iPhone-centric announcement.

[FlwrPwer]

I wouldn't put too much money in that bet. Tomorrow looks like it's gonna be a pretty iPhone-centric announcement.

Yeah, thats what I thought, but I think I'm gonna hold off until tomorrow to order the Air anyway. You know, just in case. It would totally be my luck that I buy something today and tomorrow, something better comes out. :tounge:

[up10ad]

I've read of the Tablet but not in association with tomorrow's announcement. Tablets are overrated, and even the best aren't as useful as you would think for standard tasks.

[Hondamaker]

Doesn't get a blue ribbon for nothin'..........Ha! Reminds me of a blue ribbon joke---2 girls are in Scotland on vacation. As they're walking about town, seeing the sights, they come upon a Scot sitting against a tree sleeping, in a kilt and all. Remembering the tale that a true Scotsman wears nothing under his kilt, they sneak a look. Yep, nothing. They decide to let him know they were there, so one of them takes a blue ribbon out of her hair and ties it around his johnson. A little while later, the Scot wakes up and, feeling something tied to his member, lifts his kilt to find a blue ribbon tied to it. He smiles and says, "I don't know where ya've been laddie, but at least you took first place!"

[Hondamaker]

Crap. Guess I'll be missing it this year. There wasn't much leeway in rescheduling this session, so there's no way I could have made it work anyway. :(Didn't you say earlier that you had off during the day?

[psylichon]

My schedule changes daily if not hourly.

[badge]

guess im all alone here as it seems very quiet?

[FlwrPwer]

Did you go in the chat room? This thread is not the chat.....we have a channel....

go to the first post to see how to access it. :smile:

[psylichon]

I have a chat/firmware hangover this morning. Argh.

Fun seeing the chatroom and this site so hoppin', though :D

[PepeRB29]

i got kicked out of chat after psylicon said there was "no moderation" followed by a "**** off runt"



real mature

[psylichon]

Welcome to the wild, wooly world of chat, my friend. Learn how to play nice then you can come back. Until then, keep it off EIC.

[PepeRB29]

i'm sorry? can i come back?




i thought you said there was no moderation???

[psylichon]

I lied. My bad.

[up10ad]

There isn't moderation, but we all actually like one another, and your rude behavior isn't welcome there either.

[PepeRB29]

so i got banned from chat because you don't like me?



now thats a great moderator!!!!!

[up10ad]

NO, it's not you, it's your rude behavior towards my friends.

[PepeRB29]

what rude behavior? we were all jokin around in there, apparently some people can dish it out but not take it....

[psylichon]

Reality check: The EIC chatroom is IRC and is a wholly separate entity from this site. While there are no "rules" there are "guidelines" and, yes, mob rule. Sorry you fell victim this time. I'll lift the ban later... try again and maybe things will go better for ya.

[fingers crossed]

[up10ad]

You were Pwned and didn't even know it.

[PepeRB29]

right on chief

[psylichon]

You're alright when you drop character. Looking forward to more of that.

[mittenman]

You're alright when you drop character. Looking forward to more of that.

Did I miss some shenanigans last night??

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

You were Pwned and didn't even know it.

You said "pwned?!"

You're a traitor to geezers everywhere.

[FlwrPwer]

You said "pwned?!"

You're a traitor to geezers everywhere.

hahahahahaha

I think it's cute! :)

[mittenman]

You said "pwned?!"

You're a traitor to geezers everywhere.

He's still a teen geek at heart.....

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

He's still a teen geek at heart.....

So am I, but really!

I have the heart of a 22 year old.

Unfortunately, it's in a jar somewhere in my desk and I can't find it.

[up10ad]

I have the heart of a 22 year old.
I have the heart of a 45 year old; unfortunately it's in my wife's body. :p Actually, that's not a bad thing at all!

[iCafe]

im in there now

[projectdarkside]

You guys remember that app called "Rooms"
-Does anyone remember the steps or have instuctions on how to get in EiC chat again hehe I had it before but I upgraded my firmware and had to do everything all over again:foot:

[up10ad]

PDS just tell it to go to esper.net then join #eic

[projectdarkside]

I might be doing something wrong I dont know haha
-But it says I need a port number?

[up10ad]

6667 no ssl, no pw, no label

[projectdarkside]

6667 no ssl, no pw, no labelI still gotta be doing something wrong ha
-Thanks for your help anyways Rick:laugh2:

[psylichon]

Why am I "chatting" with like 3 people here? We are annoying the crap out of everyone else. This is what the chatroom is for. Just sayin'.

[Lincoln]

As was done with the 3.0 Software Preview Event, we'll be doing some coverage and discussion as the Keynote happens tomorrow in chat. We're also doing our "not so live" coverage of the event here, which will start at about 12:45 EST. The Keynote starts at 10 AM PST (1 PM EST).

[psylichon]

For those wanting to use Rooms from the Appstore to connect to the chatroom, here are the instructions:

Go to settings and hit connections. Add a server with these settings:

Label: esper (just what I call it)
Server: irc.esper.net
Port: 6667

The new beta of IM+ (paid) for the iPhone supports push and includes the standard IM services as well as IRC and Twitter. 1 app that will replace 3; Rooms, Tweetie and Beejive. I hope to get it today from the developer.

I've been trying to get IRC running with Backgrounder on my jailbreak, and having no luck with Rooms or Colloquy (both return to blank screens of some sort after exiting the app). Last night I found a free app called IRChon that works amazingly with Backgrounder.

I've been putting it through its paces and I can't make this thing drop connection. I can even leave the phone locked for long periods of time and it doesn't drop. I can even toggle wifi on and off and it doesn't drop! Usually IRC connections drop at the sign of a stiff breeze, so this is pretty cool in my book.

Oh, it does audio alerts as well, and they work great in the background.

I just wish there was a paid option to kill the ads, but otherwise, it's definitely worth checking out.

The latest update to Backgrounder fixed the problem with returning to Colloquy and losing previous conversations, I believe.

I too am using IRCHon with backgrounder and it works flawlessly, im very impressed.

[iNinja]

Nope, just backgrounder and IRChon
