I’ve set up an afoe IRC channel on the nightstar channel, if your into that kinda thing. The nice thing with nightstar is that you don’t have to use a client if you don’t want to, they have a web based interface.
If you’ve no idea what I’m talking about, just go here, enter #afistfulofeuros [...]

This is the 1000th entry at A Fistful of Euros. Onward!
