Has the Ubuntu room on IRC fallen off?

[poofyhairguy]

I just regged #ubuntuforums on freenode if anyone wants to come in.

THX. I'll be there a lot.

I called my school's netadmin and he said they block port 6667 because some worms used that port. So, yet again, the Linux community (all three or so of us) is punished for our Windows counterparts' failure to secure their boxes.

Anyone know if I can connect to freenode on a port other than the default?

Edit: why ask when you can nmap? Port 6666. 8)

Yeah, I hate that. You could convince an off-campus friend to set up a proxy and connect through it

Heh, actually, I've been getting by by SSHing into my cousin's RedCrap box.

It exists, and you can join it, but no one seems to be coming in there. I'll be in there all day, but a room without people isn't very interesting.
