The IA Summit is going fine so far. Miami is delightful.

I set up a channel on Freenode so that if anybody wants to get their chat on during sessions, we can do it there.

For those of you who just want to chat without much muss or fuss, go here: http://java.freenode.net//index.php?channel=iasummit2008 … and BE SURE to enter a username for yourself (so everybody isn’t called “Traveler”!!).

Wait for the java applet to load, and you’re all set.

For those of you who know how to use an IRC client, just use network irc.freenode.net and join the channel #iasummit2008.

Also, if any of you are somewhat familiar with IRC and how to moderate a channel, I’d love to add you as a moderator, so please ping me at inkblurt@gmail.com or direct msg me on twitter (at “inkblurt”). I’m not going to be in there all the time (and maybe even not that much), but I did register the channel so that it’ll stay up and remember its moderators for the rest of the weekend, at least.

To keep op status, btw, you will have to register with ChanServ on that server (I think).
