| irctc627 | Good Morning | 05:36.21 |
| HenryStiles | hi Nancy | 13:52.12 |
| | welcome! | 13:52.19 |
| kens | Hi Nancy, welcome to artifex | 13:52.34 |
| Nancy | Hello | 13:53.36 |
| ghostbot | Welcome to #ghostscript. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line. If you are looking for help or infomation about MuPDF, try the new #mupdf channel. | 13:53.36 |
| Robin_Watts | Hi Nancy. | 13:53.53 |
| | Welcome. | 13:53.55 |
| kens | :-) Ignore Ghostbot, its there to stop people popping up and saying 'hi' and waiting for someone to respond | 13:54.03 |
| Robin_Watts | Have you registered your irc nickname? | 13:54.06 |
| Nancy | Not sure! | 13:54.21 |
| chrisl | Hi Nancy, welcome aboard | 13:54.33 |
| Robin_Watts | ok, let me google for a mo :) | 13:54.35 |
| Nancy | Not really used to IRC. | 13:54.41 |
| chrisl | I think was true of most of us when we started! | 13:55.05 |
| Robin_Watts | Nancy: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration | 13:55.05 |
| | basically anything you type comes out here. | 13:55.40 |
| | unless it starts with a / in which case it's a command. | 13:55.50 |
| HenryStiles | Nancy: I think colloquy might be the best irc client for the mac these days | 13:55.55 |
| Robin_Watts | If you use "/me" then you can emote stuff. | 13:56.08 |
| Robin_Watts | demonstrates emoting. | 13:56.15 |
| | '/join #channel name joins a channel, /leave #chanell leaves a channel | 13:56.54 |
| | (I'm on top form with typing today) | 13:57.15 |
| HenryStiles | NancyDurgin: I'll use your artifex email address from now on | 13:57.23 |
| Robin_Watts | If you use /msg username you can send a private message, but most clients let you automate that by clicking on a username and opening a new tab these days. | 13:58.29 |
| | Most "services" on irc are provided by bots that sit in channels, and you talk to them using /msg - so nickserv and chanserv are examples of those. | 13:59.02 |
| | Once you have registered a username, it means that no one other than you can log in with that name, and then I can invite you to artifex. | 13:59.41 |
| | to #artifex, that is, our private channel | 13:59.53 |
| NancyDurgin | I registered "NancyDurgin" | 14:00.18 |
| tor8 | NancyDurgin: Hi! | 14:01.09 |
| Robin_Watts | NancyDurgin: Fab. | 14:01.23 |
| tor8 | There are plenty of different IRC clients to use. I use HexChat, I know Ken uses Miranda, and some of us use Chatzilla. | 14:01.29 |
| NancyDurgin | I am trying to figure out how to put that prefix on the front of the messages. I thought clicking the name owuld do it, but apparently not on my client | 14:01.44 |
| tor8 | With most of these, you can put your username and password in the server login and it'll log you in directly when you connect. | 14:01.53 |
| Robin_Watts | You will discover that I have absolutely no memory, so I tend to stick stuff in the twiki to guard against senility. | 14:01.56 |
| | https://twiki.ghostscript.com/do/view/Ghostscript/IrcSetup | 14:01.58 |
| NancyDurgin | I am using something called "Lime" on Mac, but maybe there is a better choice. | 14:01.59 |
| tor8 | NancyDurgin: not sure if Colloquy is still around, that's the client I used to use on Mac. | 14:02.25 |
| | http://colloquy.info/ | 14:03.28 |
| kens | NancyDurgin : which prefix do you mean ? | 14:04.07 |
| Robin_Watts | NancyDurgin: OK, so try: /msg ChanServ invite #artifex NancyDurgin ? | 14:04.16 |
| NancyDurgin | the person's name | 14:04.18 |
| | like "NancyDurgin: and then something..." | 14:04.32 |
| tor8 | NancyDurgin: we just type it :) | 14:04.34 |
| kens | Oh well IRC prefixes yours for you. If you want to put other people then you normally have to type it | 14:04.36 |
| Robin_Watts | Nan<TAB> :) | 14:04.39 |
| NancyDurgin | Robin_Watts: Ah okay | 14:04.47 |
| kens | Miranda has autocompeltion and so tab works as Robin said | 14:04.52 |
| | Not sure all clients have that | 14:05.01 |
| tor8 | kens: I think most of them do. | 14:05.06 |
| Robin_Watts | irc is old technology. It's older than gs even :) | 14:05.10 |
| kens | And tha'ts saying something :) | 14:05.24 |
| NancyDurgin | oh I know, I used to use it a long time ago I think. The thing I will miss from modern chats is the emojis! | 14:07.03 |
| | I would htink the chat engine matters less than the client, anyway | 14:07.20 |
| kens | Most of the clients do ASCII amojis to icons | 14:07.35 |
| HenryStiles | NancyDurgin: colloloquy tranlates text emojis to graphics as I recall. | 14:07.59 |
| NancyDurgin | colloquy appears to have last been updated in 2014 and refers to osx 10.7 as the "latest" OS. I am on 10.13. I think Lime will work. | 14:08.02 |
| Robin_Watts | Though I have that turned off, because it's a pain when you paste code, and your pointers turn into beer/smileys/fingers etc. | 14:08.16 |
| | NancyDurgin: So, did you try: /msg ChanServ invite #artifex NancyDurgin ? | 14:08.47 |
| NancyDurgin | it says "NancyDurgin is not registered" | 14:09.21 |
| | this client seems to be text-only as far as emojis. I will poke around and see what other clients are available. | 14:09.44 |
| | But I did register. Maybe I need to re-login | 14:10.00 |
| Robin_Watts | Nancy: OK, so: /msg NickServ identify TopSecretPassword | 14:11.01 |
| | ok, wait, no that won't change your name... | 14:11.23 |
| kens | you need /nick NancyDurgin | 14:11.38 |
| | Then when it says 'this nick is regsitered' you do the /msg NickServ thing | 14:12.07 |
| Robin_Watts | I thinl: /msg NickServ NancyDurgin <password> will set both name and password together. | 14:12.29 |
| NancyDurgin | test | 14:12.31 |
| Robin_Watts | I thinl: /msg NickServ identify NancyDurgin <password> will set both name and password together. | 14:12.38 |
| kens | : Could be.... | 14:12.46 |
| | I have Miranda configured to do all this stuff for me, I rarely have to remember how to do it manually | 14:13.08 |
| NancyDurgin | still saying I am not registered | 14:13.19 |
| Robin_Watts | NancyDurgin: Did you do the: | 14:13.36 |
| | /msg nickserv register TopSecretPassword nancy.durgin@artifex.com | 14:14.04 |
| | thing ? | 14:14.06 |
| | That should have send you an email with a line that you need to paste back in here. | 14:14.22 |
| NancyDurgin | yes I did that step | 14:14.30 |
| Robin_Watts | ok. /msg nickserv info NancyDurgin is showing you ask registered. | 14:15.05 |
| | s/k// | 14:15.09 |
| NancyDurgin | google says the irc client I am using is "best" free one on osx: https://www.slant.co/topics/1320/~irc-clients-for-mac | 14:16.02 |
| kens | Robin_Watts : doesn't Nancy merely need to do /join #artifex ? | 14:16.49 |
| | Assuming you've already done the invite bit | 14:17.03 |
| NancyDurgin | Apparently, yes... | 14:17.06 |
