IRC Hints and Tips
MAIN PAGE - GENERAL IRC INFO - BOTS AND SCRIPTS

  1. Dump Homer and use a decent client. 80% of the support I give is for Homer.... so go figure...

  2. Find a tame real-live-human-techno-geek-type to take you through stuff step-by-step. There's no substitute for just actually going ahead and doing it rather than spending time reading about it...

  3. Expect to waste absolutely ENORMOUS amounts of time (and money?) on the IRC - I wouldn't call it a productive place, but it is kinda fun...

  4. Get a Mac and throw that PC out the window (Oh sorry, looks like you did that already :-)

  5. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER write stuff with aLtErNaTe CaSeS lIkE tHiS because it's really never cool...

  6. NEVER NEVER NEVER number two: kewl is not...

  7. Don't spill high-carbohydrate content beverages on your keyboard...

  8. Remember, Big Brother is watching you...

  9. Find out about how to avert RSI... and eye-strain... and caffeine addiction...

  10. Remember you still have a real life to live too!!!


Just my (insert small amount of local currency) worth.
