At long last, the person previously holding #cemetech has graciously agreed to return control of the channel to me, and we have moved back from #ltwttf. The channel is now under the protection of the CalcGames botnet, and all mods and administrators here can gain their equivalent permissions on the channel by joining up and identing. With the recent edition of Elfprince13's SAXjax bot to link the Simultaneous Asynchronous eXchange chat widget and the IRC channel, there is full cross-communication. We seem to be gradually shifting away from the Skype conference, but anyone still interested in joining that can send me a message on Skype. Also, feel free to add this double-height signature bar wherever you want to advertise the channel. Enjoy!

w00t. Next time Kerm, don't have people delete bot accounts though.

....wtf are you talking about? Did this occur since my last visit to the channel?

btw, if Kerm ever packages up SAX as a mod for phpBB Ill release the source to SAXJAX.

back when you were trying to get things set up, Nikky deleted the account, remember?

Actually, I explicitly told the bot to delete the user "river15," but it somehow interpeted that as "delete rivereye" instead. So I tried to delete river15 again, and it said that user didn't exist...
Eggdrop is silly like that.

it is, and I have to pick on him a little.

But you'll notice in Nikky's post that it was him, not me, who was deleting the bot account. I don't even think I have permissions, and if I do, I don't know how. Anyway, hope to see everyone there.

still efnet right?

Absolutely correct!

Indeed; notice the big red userbar in my signature.

Since the death of the old Skype conference that we had in summer and fall 2006, and the not-really-significant rise in activity in #cemetech since the channel was introduced as a venue for Cemetech users to discuss their projects and day-to0day lives, there has been no commonly-used place for us to hang out and chat. I propose that everyone make a concerted effort to set their chat or IM client to autoconnect to #cemetech on irc.efnet.net so we can once again hang out, and perhaps the discussion that could prompt could revitalize the site a bit again, as it's been stunningly slow of late. Thoughts?

I would, but since during the day I'm at school and susped/resume every hour or so as I change classes, its kind of a pain to keep reconnecting IRC. In the evenings I'm interning at Silverlode Interactive, then do my homework and go to bed - I don't really have much time to chat...

Sounds like an idea to me
My mIRC client *has* been gathering some dust as of late.
I'll make a habit of logging on every afternoon

Just a couple of questions, though:
1)Should we have our IRC nick be similar to/the same as our Cemetech username?
2)Are bots allowed?

1) It can be, but it doesn't have to be if you don't want
2) As long as they're not too annoying.

@Kllrnohj: your client doesn't autoreconn? What do you use?

The best IRC client ever (XChat, of course), and it does autoreconnect, but I don't think it sends a disconnect when going into standby, meaning I will be timing out ever hour or so...

Maybe I'll just have XChat running on my box here at home, which I VNC into often...

That sounds like a plan. There was some pretty lively chat there today; KeithJ, Netham, Tari, Rivereye, and myself participated.

Ok I'll add it to my auto connect but you guys better start talkin cuz that is why I removed it.

Don't worry
I'll be in #cemetech all the time working on my stupid IRCbot

I'll be in Cemetech hanging out and talking about my and your projects.
