Information
and Education - #LaserFX on IRC
Wednesday
night from 23:30 Eastern [20:30 Pacific - 04:30 GMT] onward, LaserFX.com
sponsors an IRC chat session for laserists. These chats range from
informal conversations to invited industry experts who discuss specific
topics of interest to laserists.
IRC is Internet Relay Chat,
a system that allows people to "talk" through a text interface
that runs as a background task on the Internet. For those not familiar
with IRC, one types a message on the screen of one's IRC client, hits return
and the server then sends that message to all who are logged onto the
channel. We meet on dal.net (which is smaller and quieter than the other IRC
networks) and our channel is #LaserFX.
Our chats attract a wide range of laserists from
newbies, to hobbyists, to experimenters, to laser show fans, to top
professionals and experts in the field of laser displays. We have
participants from Canada, Australia, Maylasia, New Zealand, Slovenia, Spain,
Russia, and the USA. We meet to chat informally about laser shows and to
swap tips and tales.
All laserists, laser hobbyists
and laser show fans are welcome to join in our weekly laser chat sessions.
Our home server is "raptor.ab.ca.dal.net", port 7000, channel #LaserFX.

IRC Regulars Section
- Each person on IRC uses a
'nick' or nickname. Since it's nice to put a face to the [nick], there is a
page listing some of the regular participants who have supplied information and who are regulars on the
