I recently discovered IRCCloud and it has brought me back to IRC. I no longer have to worry about opening or maintaing a client or an IRC bot. I can check into IRC on my own terms and easily catch up on what I’ve missed (even days of history) with little effort. Perfect!
But it gets better. After a day or so playing around with IRCCloud, I hopped into the feedback channel to give some props to the IRCCloud team and ask some questions. I had noticed that I couldn’t page up/down through the history using the keyboard. Look what happened:
From feature request to deployment in under 4 hours… now that is continuous delivery! Well done, IRCCloud!!!
IRCloud is still in a beta phase. You can sign up, but it might be a while before you get an invite. If you’re looking for an invite to IRCCloud Beta, let me know and I may be able to send you one.
Thanks to the strong work of the folks at Mibbit.com, you can now join the #openmrs IRC channel directly from the OpenMRS.org website! Just visit irc.openmrs.org to try it out.
