The FSM Chat experiment was a success – over 200 registered users in the first 24 hours. But, it was too slow and it was killing the server. So I’m going to install a faster, better chat service. I’m hoping that it will be up by tomorrow.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

Thanks for doing that, Bobby. I know that lots of Pastafarians are really enjoying it! I wish I had the time to participate in the chat — anyone got an extra 24 hours a day they could loan me??

yay. I like it a lot, don’t have enough time for it really, but chatter away anyway. So far I’ve had a talk on languages, movies, books, the weather and some nonsense. But all enjoyable.

So thanks, Bobby.

What about using IRC? It’s a scalable, open chat protocol that has ruled the Free Real Time Text-Based Messaging department of the interwebs since the end of the cold war. With large already existing server networks such as FreeNode that can handle hundreds of thousands of users it is really awesome compared to what you tried before. In adddition to easy to use web clients such as the one FreeNode provides (http://java.freenode.net//index.php?channel=enterthenameofyourchannelhere) there are lots of free (as in speech) irc clients out there for almost any hardware platform you could imagine, whoch means that anyone can chat from anywhere.. without a browser capable to run a special bloated chat system. Networks such as FreeNode do offer free, acccount based moderation/admin tools for large channels.
These free X-Chat for Windos builds are nice, http://www.silverex.org/download/ (*nix versions available in your distribution repository or http://www.xchat.org); and so is the Chatzilla extension for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/16/ . Lunix geeks often prefer (almost) perpetually running instances of Irssi in combination with GNU Screen. http://www.irssi.org/

@ Alchemist – Howdy! Me too on the error message. I think in protest I may go lie on the sofa. :) Not nearly enough sleep lately. Was looking forward to a fun night on FSM last night and got preempted by hubby with a dying very important server at work. He was up till 3am trying to get it going…it was hard to sleep thru the typing and cussing! Ah well…

Hey, what’s that blasted Peter Popoff doing here? I’m going to call the President and organize a nation-wide letter-writing campaign against this crap. Please post a sign that says “NO REPUTABLE SCIENTISTS LIKE PETER POPOFF ALLOWED IN HERE, DAMMIT.”
Thank you for addressing (and ignoring) my concerns.

You mean, you DON’T want a president who can ride a giraffe? If I was American, he would have my vote for sure. Originality is highly underrated these days. With all the lying politicians, and the pettiness and rampant stupidity, I would support anyone who was at least original in their ideas.

@Peter Popoff
Not saying you are any of those things. Just saying that I would happily support almost any campaign that went off the beaten track. Your ideas seem better than most… you and DPG… too bad he isn’t American, he could be your running mate.

It would have been too early in the day for PP too be completely drunk yet. So I have his only-moderately intoxicated promise over a chat-room session that I could have the job!
