Hmm.. Isn't that a series of pipes I heard important politician refer to?

I've used IRC on the intertubes periodically so I'm familiar with it. But you say there is a specific thing called IRCChat? Do you have a link?

Ah right. Thanks for the poke. I'll see about getting that addressed this weekend.

Hmmm… You know if it's available in the yum repos maybe I have a valid argument for running it. I mean why wouldn't it be allowed if it's installable right? ?

Possibly, not sure if it'll trigger on the monitoring scans though. Maybe an xmpp server or matrix server. Those may not be as alarming as an irc daemon.

Okay I decided I'm tired of waiting for the Skype people to fix their crap. Exploring options for setting something descrete up to serve as a chat room on an internal network. Suggestions welcome, perferably something that doesn't unleash the wrath of info sec upon me.

@kdfrawg I bumped the thermostat a bit and the heat came on. Cat appears satisfied for the moment.

The cat is sitting by the floor vent looking at me wonering if I'll make the magic heat come out of the floor again.

My wife says I seem to hide it well.

Indeed. Beware time will start to move faster and faster for you too. Doesn't seem all that long ago that I was holding child the elder in my arms for the first time. CTE is in High School now talking about where to go for college. ?
