AI Thread Summary
A temporary IRC chat server has been set up for discussions, accessible at IP 209.42.34.118 in the #physicsforums channel. XChat is recommended as an open-source client for various operating systems. The chatroom is currently closed but will resume on Monday at 4 PM, with topics changing frequently. There is a suggestion for a 24/7 #physicsforums channel on irc.tehnicom.net to accommodate users in different time zones, as the current server is not always online. The discussion emphasizes the need for defined meeting times to increase participation, with a proposed time of 21:00 GMT for Europe and an open request for suggestions for American time zones to facilitate better conversations.

If anyone is interested in an IRC chat, I've set up a temporary server.

IP 209.42.34.118
/join #physicsforums

XChat is an open source irc client for windows, OSX and Linux.

It can be found here:

[edit] The Chatroom is now CLOSED. It will resume on Monday at 4 pm

Er, now chroot changed it to "I are the ruler"

Lots of direction changes, can't keep up...

But don't take over the channel and piss off dduardo. He doesn't seem to like that too much.

XChat? No IRSSI?
 
NEW IRC SERVER

It’s great what you’ve done guys, but server isn’t always on line, and the time when it’s online it’s available only for people from you time zone (others are sleeping, in school or working)… So I’ve created 24/7 available #physicsforums channel on this server:

irc.tehnicom.net

/j #physicsforums

So now it’ll be always on line and available in accessible time for people all around the world … It’ll be great if dduardo could login some time now so I could give you OP.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not for shutting down dduardo’s server I just think this one/like would be great to have too…

Greetings
 
Meeting time

Being dispersed all around the world all we connect in different time, so it’s rare to see larger number of people at the same time on the cannel.

So it would be good if we define some meeting times!
I’ll propose one for Europe, let it be in 21:00 hours by Greenwich mean time (GMT).

It would be good if you come up with time for America (east, west coast, this time zone ,that time zone - so I’ll leave that to you :)).

Of course people can log in any time they want, I just think that we can make peaks this way, and have better conversation.
Suggestion would bee good.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
