irc: #chessprogramming on chat.freenode.net

Post by flok »

Hi,

Just noticed that suddenly all kinds of people started to chat about chess programming in the #chessprogramming channel on chat.freenode.net.
So, got nothing to do or an itch to scratch? Then join that irc channel!

Using ## is rather unusual in IRC land. It gives rather low chance to people to find it :(

I thing double "#" is specific to freenode : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenode#Characteristics
"About" channels begin with two ##, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis without needing a group registration.

As a side note, I've just registered ##computerchess on Freenode, due to the channel admin being seemingly dead. This way we can have a moderation team if necessary, for any arguments that occur.
Some believe in the almighty dollar.

I believe in the almighty printf statement.
