IRC for makerfarm printers

[AbuMaia]

Yup, I use HoloIRC. It's already configured OOB with freenode connection settings, just select it and it'll connect. Then choose your username with "/nick [username]", without the quotes and brackets, of course. Then join the makerfarm channel with "/join ##MakerFarm". Again, without quotes, but with the ##. That'll get you in and started.

You can edit the freenode server settings when disconnected to set up a default username, a backup username or two, to set up a channel to join automatically when connected, and a password to automatically identify you as the owner of a username registered with nickserv. That's as far into configuring HoloIRC as I've gone, other than to select the app appearance I prefer.

I screwed up a little, so in an effort to fix it i have been reading. Per freenodes channel naming guidelines we should have a double hash ## in front of out name. Also i didn;t know the channel would need to be registered to maintain an op status etc...

So that being said, I have created the channel ##Makerfarm, it has been registered etc. not that it will be policed but just so we are within freenodes guideline if people would please go to ##MakerFarm instead of #makerfarm

Thanks.

Also i will updating the first post as well to reflect this.


edit: first post updated :-)

Just refreshing the thread. Thanks for setting this up, sniffle. It has came in handy for Q&A and exploring ideas with those who are logged in.

Seems like there's another wave of people about to be building an i3v. Just highlighting the IRC channel as a community support option.
