Join Freenode

I had joined Freenode :)

I am cool :P

I am using X-Chat (also could use Pidgin, web or other IRC)

$sudo apt-get install xchat

You can use any channel available on freenode. (In the picture, I joined #ubuntu). After connecting to a channel, you could add channel, so dont worry :)

You could also build your own channel.

Done. Happy chatting :)
