[ale] Good howto for irc?

[Raj Wurttemberg]

The first computer I worked on in my professional life was the UKY-7(V).  32-bit! 

 

Information:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/UYK-7

 

What it looked like on the ship:  http://ontargetalignment.com/newsImages/02022012_023829_3930_uyk7%20(1).jpg

 

Close look at my “keyboard” so I could bootstrap the mag-tape loader: http://www.dvq.com/oldcomp/photos2/1k/uyk-5.jpg

 

Ahhhh!  Fun times!  Haha!

You had 2 floppies!!!! You were so lucky! All I had was 8 toggle switches and a push button to enter the kernel by hand. If I had only had a hand then...

:-)

Welcome back!

I wondered if it would make sense to have an IRC to Slack gateway?  Seems like lots of folks, even folks who love IRC, are jumping on the Slack bandwagon (hipchat too).     I notice there is a #linux room in Atlanta’s #tech404 space.  Maybe some of you are there?

 

BTW, I’m one of those over 40 folks who started on Linux when it was two floppies and has since fallen out of the habbit of attending LUG meetings (though I’m coming tonight).     

 

cheers,

 

Darrell

I used to use ChatZilla for work. But we added a jabber server for 
chatting with an outside company so I use Trillian since it can 
connect to both. I don't particularly like it but I don't want to run 
multiple chat applications.
