Hi folks, the Magazine IRC channel has been one of many, many Freenode channels afflicted recently with spam. To try and combat this, I set the "-q $~a" mode which means (as I understand from Fedora sysadmins) unregistered nicks may not be able to "speak" in the channel. If you are on the channel and you find you're getting warnings about this, or you're having other trouble, ping me in a private message and I'll see what I can do. On the other hand, it's a VERY good idea to register your nick on Freenode anyway. This also takes care of the problem. Here's how you register: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration Once you register, you can do either of these to identify yourself to the IRC nickserv any time you get on IRC: /MSG NickServ identify <mypassword> /MSG NickServ identify <nick> <mypassword> -- Paul W.
