speakup channel

speakup channel

[Deedra Waters]

hi guys, I asked Kirk about this earlier today. I've created a channel on
irc.openprojects.net with the name of #speakup.

I've been on openprojects.net for the last several days, and really like
the people, the staff and the environment. I thought it'd be fun to create
a channel on there for speakup to discuss the speakup project and other
things that come up on this list.

lilo@staff.opn)] talk to you after while....welcome them to OPN on my
          behalf!

reguards,
Deedra

Hey Deedra,

Lilo (AKA Rob Levin) is an old friend of mine! He's definitely in
support of Linux accessibility...we'd actually talked about it for
ages before I was able to run anything on my own (that is...before I
had a supported synth...) Guess we started chatting about it at
science fiction dinners at the U. of TX in 1994. I can hardly believe
it. ... Anyway, Rob's great!

Seeya on Openprojects then...

[Thomas Stivers]

An advantage of using irc as well is that it is a good deal easier to
get it set up than speakfreely.

Hi
An iteresting statement.  I disagree.  BitchX is awful to get useful
feedback from, for example.  However, xchat-text is really nice and
clean.

I guess a lot of people will prefer irc as they can hide their identity
away as the voice gives so much more than the words it carries.


I just was going to discuss these matters with you but you left the
channel.

I made this channel because I don't use the reflector, and I thought it'd
be nice to have another option, or just another means of communication.

Re: speakup channel

[Deedra Waters]

I've been using irssi which is really nice once you get it set up, and as
I put in the topic of the channel for now I have config and default.theme
files already created that are a decent combination  of things to work
with. by irssi, I mean the irssi-text part of irssi.

Glad you did.  I hear getting speekfreely working can be murder for some
folks, and it's good to see IRC being used.

Re: speakup channel

[Alex Snow]

That is also one of the reasons I was going to make the channell.  the other
was I wanted to see if openprojects really worked.

Have you tried epic? It is more like ircII than bitchX. I haven't used 
the other one as I was under the impression it was an X program. I
will have to try it.

Ok guys, if anyone wants them I moved the irssi config files to my webpage

go to the linux link, and then the goodies link from there.

Re: speakup channel

[Chris Nestrud]

For a client with one of the cleanest interfaces I've seen, try sirc.

apt-get install sirc

When you wish for something a bit more customisable, try epic.

apt-get install epic4

You might want to put the following in ~/.ircrc (if using epic4) to
reduce some of the updating clutter and make things a bit easier to use. This assumes you want to
automatically receive incoming files and dcc chats. If not, remove what
you don't like.

#cut here#
# dcc auto-get for chats and files
on ^dcc_request "% chat *" {
dcc chat $0
}
on ^dcc_request "% send *" {
dcc get $0 $5
echo DCC: getting $5 from $0.
}

# status line
set status_query (Query=%Q)
set status_channel on %C
set status_format %V: %@%N %C %+ %Q

# messages
set beep_on_msg msg
on ^msg "*" { echo MSG: $0: $1- }
on ^notice "*" { echo Notice: $0: $1-
}
#cut here#

This is just my personal preferences.

Chris

Re: speakup channel

['Georgina']

Hi

Yes, its really great that channels of communication is opened up
but please justify your comment that it is easier than Speakfreely to
set up?  You've just admitted that irc takes some setting up.  You have
more choice of clients to use which multiplies the configuration
problems of a workable configuration for each user.

Your comment could be read that you were challenging the reflecter as a
means of speakup users communicating with each other.  Which was in my
opinion, irrelevent to your beneficial and useful course of action to
get an irc channel up and running.

Hi all. I just think that its good to have more than one medium of

Re: speakup channel

[Deedra Waters]

I'm not chalenging the reflector. this is just my choice so I chose to use
it. I've heard from a couple of people that speakfreely is dificult to set
up and to be perfectly honest,  I don't feel like fighting with it to get
it set up along with the fact that I don't have everything I need to make
it work. So I chose something else.
