if you're using mozilla. you can just clik on the link in the header of this thread then type:

/join #mefi

To connect to IRC, you will need a chat client such as mIRC, Trillian, Chatzilla which comes with Netscape 7/Mozilla, or any client which connects to an IRC network. Install the program if needed, fire it up and try this link irc.metafilter.com:6667/mefi.

If the link above doesn't work, type /server irc.metafilter.com

once connected type /join #mefi to participate in the craziness.

Are there still scheduled weekly brew ha has like there used to be?

Yeah, mozilla with chatzilla attached is the best cross platform way to roll nowdays.

I just wasted three hours there - great stuff!

Very cool. First of all I've never used Mozilla. Now I wonder why I haven't before. Secondly I've always resisted 'chat', but this is really cool. Thanks Matt!

A Chumpbot would still be really cool in there.

skallas, I don't know if you are listening, but you really need to come to #mefi and rebutt the searing lyrical diss I gave you the last time we were there together, ok? I mean it!

And, contrary to rumours, Matt himself was on for a while, bantering away with the best rest of us!

It was strange and a little scary chatting in realtime with some MeFiFolks. I've got to get outta the house more...

It's the most fun I've had in hours!

It's dangerously addictive too!

real time arena snarking! :)

That was fun. Real time snarking is better than tape-delay!

Finally, a place to trade warez with my respected colleagues in the metafilter community!

It's like MetaFilter with the Filter.
