Re: [PLUG] Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel #PLUG on EFNet
|
why not on a network devoted to our kinda stuff, like slashnet
(irc.slashnet.org) or openprojects.net (likewise)?
oh yeah, if anyone wants to get the source to a web-based CueCat decoder,
www.jounce.net/~maarken ... see slashdot if you don't know what I'm talking
about... my sourceforge project is uscan.sourceforge.net ... any cuecat
questions? come to #kuro5hin on slashnet (above)
