The #compsci.ca channel on IRC is where all the cool members are hanging out. Chances are, if you're not there, you're missing something exciting and important.

Information

Server: irc.afternet.org

Channel: #compsci.ca

History

Much of #compsci.ca's early history is shrouded in mystery. Nobody is quite sure the exact time when it was created, but rumour has it that Coutsos was its founder, although he did not begin to regularly attend it until quite some time later. Its first regular inhabitants were wtd and a mysterious lurker named Ultrahex, who doesn't seem to be a bona fide member of the CompSci.ca community, although he's always in the channel. Things took off sometime in early 2005, when a wave of members, including Hikaru79, Coutsos, Cervantes, and Gandalf started regularly attending the channel. At present, #compsci.ca has a regular population of about seven, give or take, although it is subject to occasional flurries of activity, often when the moon is full.

Daily Life

Much of #compsci.ca's time is spent in utter silence (while its members spend time in deep personal reflection and thought), broken periodically by outbursts of conversation, instruction, and wierdness. Hilarity often ensues. On a good day, wtd can be observed teaching some interesting, mind-blowing new concept.

The Future

The future for #compsci.ca is looking bright, as it recieves more and more attention in the compsci.ca community, particularly through the siggies and evangelism of Cervantes, Coutsos, and Hikaru79. With any luck, it will soon be as integral a part of the compsci.ca experience as the forum has come to be.

Hacker Dan has made plans to interagte a java based IRC clinet that will send users to the channel form the fourm in to the new form software V3 that hopfully will be made over the 2005/2006 xmass beark.
