IRC is short for Internet Relay Chat, the best type of chat IMHO. Web chats are tedious with their constant updates. The new Java-based chat programs that are found here and there are OK, but I still think IRC rules! It has the best speed and format! Also, you meet the coolest people there, slightly more computer-orientated than others, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it? :-)
When online, I'm found on the Undernet under the handle Mammoth
or Woolly, mostly on the #amiga and/or #amigachat
channels.
I've made many good friends via IRC, some of whom are found at the respective channel's
homepage, but let me make a quick run-down of my favourite peeps:
| IRC Handle | Comment |
| Bornhall | Friend of mine of 10+ years IRL. The guy who introduced me to IRC. Thanks! |
| Gte- | Cool programmer from the UK. What can I say? He's always up for a good laugh! |
| Lindy | My favourite IRC babe. Goes by many handles. Founder of #amigachat and a wonderful human being. |
| Ink | Many know her as a bad-tempered bitch on #amiga. But don't let that fool you. :) |
| Sage | Married to Ink. Indeed a very nice guy who helped me a lot getting started on IRC. |
| creative | Hilarious guy from Norway. Never fails to cheer me up. |
| Skeletor | Two words: Bedroom bungee! :))) |
| MikeTZ | Coolest miner (no, not minor) I know, lives in Australia and drives BIG trucks! Comes on once a year! |
| Baikonur | Video artist from Mexico who's been offline for a
looong time. Take a look at his homepage, if it's still there. |
| dIS | Perpetually potted Swede. Always comes on #amiga very late, very drunk. |
| Cameo | Stunningly beautiful woman who used to be on #bikers a lot. Hasn't been around lately. :-( |
| D^Misty | Another IRC sweet-heart of mine from #bikers. I've really missed her since she's been gone. |
| Paddy | Irish bugger with an attitude. So cool you'll freeze. :-) And he plays the guitar. Aye! |
| Olorin | Amiga aficionado from southern Sweden. |
| Kaedric | Ruler of #amiga and a very nice person. |
I've deliberately left out people's real names, email addresses and homepage URLs, the only exception being links to Lindy's and Baikonur's pages. If you're on this list and want more hits and/or emails, tell me so and I'll insert a link. :-)) If you feel left out of this list, I'm sorry and do contact me ASAP for an immediate addition!
