Just a brief look into my logs:
Its okay, though... at least we have long nicks and channel registration. All it cost was a dead channel in efnet and the willingness to accept that we're on someone's toy irc network where everyone is a close, personal friend lilo can hit up for cash or favours.
There has been quite a bit of splits and other irc nonsense lately, too.-lilo- [Global Notice] Hi all. As reported previously, we're going to have major downtime in about 11 hours.... for an update on the downtime and on fundraising, please take a look at http://freenode.net/news.shtml .... thank you for your patience, and thank you for using freenode!
-lilo- [Global Notice] Hi all. We're stable again. Thanks to dmwaters for her excellent work on this upgrade!
-lilo- [Global Notice] Hi all. Last bit of wrap-up. If you were in #gentoo or #debian before the maintenance, you'll probably want to rejoin. You might have to try a few times. Thanks again for your patience and understanding, and thank you for using freenode! :)
-lilo- [Global Notice] Hi all. There's a news article up on http://freenode.net/news.shtml on the status of the PDPC fundraiser. Highlights: pie chart is now up to date again; new "byte" and "nibble" donation levels. Fiscal year begins July 1. Please take a look. Have a great night, and thank you for using freenode! :)
-lilo- [Global Notice] Hi all. Should we participate in Google's "Summer of Code"? I won't be very available for the next 20 hours, but please message me your comments. Thanks.
-lilo- [Global Notice] (And we need help in Python and possibly in C, so be prepared to be personally involved if you say 'yes' ;)
-lilo- [Global Notice] This is Google's link on their "Summer of Code" program.... we'd primarily need work done in Python at this point.... http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html
-lilo- [Global Notice] Whoops, one final bit of information.... here's the project.... we'd have to figure out how to split it up into components, but it's intended to be modular anyway ;) http://partiallystapled.com/wiki/index. ... deRegistry
-lilo- [Global Notice] Good evening, all. News item on the freenode website: (1) Major server maintenance in just over a week and a half. (2) Nine days until PDPC's new fiscal year. We need your help to finish the fundraiser! ( http://freenode.net/news.shtml ) Thanks for your help, and thank you for using freenode!
