Contacting computer-science people over MSN/IRC (was: I want to chat with you)

[erhos]

I want to know people that like computers science, if someone want to chat with me please give me you MSN mail.
I'm connected all days at this service.

Thank you!.

You can send me you mail by private message or like response

if you want to chat with us CS/CE guys get on IRC

http://www.irchelp.org/

gaim or pigin chat client can do irc and irssi is supposed to be a good command line client.

after logging in you need to setup your irc nick like this /nick yournickname

then join a channel like this /j #compiz or /j #vectorlinux or any of thousands of channels find a channel that suites your interest and be polite

thanks cb88!, but in my work I'm connected all day at MSN and by this program I want to chat with computers science people.
in my home I'll connect to IRC but in my work I can't do it.
do you understand?

with pidgin you can be connected to more than one account at once.

so, with the same program, you can be connected to msn and irc at the same time.

It'd just be like another msn window open, except there is heaps of people instead of just one for that window.

:D

Err, sorry about the title edit, it just looked like spam for several seconds ;-)

I've changed it to something a little more descriptive ;-)
