One of my favorite thing todo is waste my time away on irc(internet relay chat). IRC has been around since the early stages of the internet and are the "original chat rooms" to you aol'ers. You can find disscussions on just about everything under the sun, and then some. I am usually on an undernet server, chatting or getting mp3s :-). Click here to find out a little more about irc or if you need help getting on.

You can use different programs to access irc servers. A good one for windows users is mIRC. for us linux users out there, there is the ever famous ircii and bitchX.

If you happen to be irc, look me up, I use the nickname PlayBack and I can usually be found in the room #xone.

Below is my irciirc file:
