The IRC Lockdown Re-union Event (Wednesday 27th of May)

Before Twitter.
Before Reddit
Before Facebook
Before something called Whatsapp?

Amiga users everywhere chatted for hours on end on something called IRC.

On Wednesday 27th of May
Amigans.net is hosting an IRC Reunion evening.
Start time 19:00 GMT+1

Hopefully you'll join me and who knows who else on that night.

Full details on how to join can be found here.

Btw. What's is this TikTok stuff?

@Mikey_C

Long no see.
Can we expect to hear some of your legendary dubious jokes?
If so, i'm sure I can spare the time to join.

Cheers

@TiredOfLife

What? Like

I was in the Gym the other day, when a very fit woman came up to me and said. "Come with me and I'll show you a good time"

She was right. 100 meters in 9.8 seconds!

@Mikey_C

Eugh...

A pun, a play on words and a limerick walk into a bar.
No joke

If you are being chased by a pack of Taxidermists.

DON'T PLAY DEAD!

@Mikey_C

The first ever computer dated back to Adam and Eve.
It was an apple with extremely limited RAM.
Just one byte.
And then everything crashed.


When i was young i always felt like a man trapped in a womans body.
Then i was born.


My IQ test results came just in...and i'm so relieved...it's negative.

@Raziel @ Mikey_C

That's the stuff.

Cheers

Thanks and cheers !

I asked my Hair dresser what cut would suit me best.

She took a good look at me and said "A power cut"

@Mikey_C



Old but good...

What do you call a series of FDIV instructions on a Pentium? Successive approximations.

I may join if I remember, hopefully on the A1200 as it's back on the net now.

Final Bump - It's Tonight. Just over than 1.5 hours to go!

@Mikey_C

The Amigaworld site and IRC servers were down all day yesterday and still are today.

Any plans to retry this event?

Cheers

@TiredOfLife

You can connect through irc.amigans.net

@RussellB

Ah, I wasn't aware of that.
I have always connected via amigaworld.net in the past.

Cheers

@TiredOfLife

Yeah, a lot of people were keen on the idea of doing it again. So I have suggested Mid August.

It all depends on the numbers, the more people attend the popular it becomes, the more we do it, yadda, yadda.

Keep an eye out for August :)

@Mikey_C

Nice one, I'll sort out the server for irc.amigans.bet in the meantime.

Cheers
