Web clients are here...

http://www.free-dc.org/chat/

Or use a regular IRC client and go to...

irc.mainetech.net

And join #GIMPS

I'll be "parked" there until then so you can test the room beforehand...

Alrighty, I think i got finally MIRC figured out. I'll probably be there.

I think it would be midnight Saturday, since it is the middle of the night following Saturday.

Think of it in 24 hour time. After you go past 23:59, you don't reach 24:00, it resets to 00:00 (if it didn't, when would you switch from 24x to 00x?). Since 00:00 is the new day, it would be Sunday.

Here is a log of tonight's party... I logged from 0300-0600 UTC...

I think it went pretty well... George clued us in to some new client developments and I think we all had some fun...

Thanks to all who dropped by!

Just as an experiment I'm going to leave the chat room open there for a few days to see what kind of traffic we can generate... If you get bored stop on by and check it out...
