Quick introguide for those unfamiliar with IRC and how to use it: The easiest way to get on IRC is to use the webchat located here: http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=globaloffensive Just type in the nickname you wish and press “Join Chat” and voila, you’re on IRC! If you rather want an actual client, mIRC (www.mirc.com) is your best bet for Windows users, Colloquy (http://colloquy.info) for Macintosh users. To join the community, do as follows First type in /nick <nickname> to set your nickname Then type /server -m irc.quakenet.org -j #globaloffensive You should now be on IRC with the rest of us, come say hi, we’re a really friendly bunch!
Are you trying to join the SRL IRC? The Streams page of SRL embeds streams from Twitch. Colloquy is an IRC client.
The SRL IRC server is irc2.speedrunslive.com and the main channel is #speedrunslive. I'm not all that familiar with Colloquy so you should check out the Colloquy documentation for specific instructions on connecting to a server, or maybe someone else is more familiar with it can chime in.
Note that SRL requires you to register your username to join races. SRL's guide to registering your nick is here
Understood, sorry if I came off too strongly against the idea; if it's more "because I want to play around" I shouldn't get so "What's the point" about it. ;)
Let's see... honestly, I don't know of any really big/complex open source projects off-hand. You might try Colloquy. It's not the biggest project in the world though.
You may also have fun compiling stuff from MacPorts.
Joo, keskityin avoimen koodin softiin ja tosiaan semmoisiin, joita on päivitelty vuoden 2016 aikana.
Edit: Colloquy lisätty luetteloon. Mobiiliversion koodi täällä
I'm running Colloquy on Lion with no issues at all. You might want to look for help with whatever the problem was here or submit a ticket there, if you don't want to switch.
Unfortunately I'm not sure what the current good mailing lists are (I used to follow the official Apple mailing list but it ended up being far too high volume for me) but IRC could be a good way to go; the main channels, from what I remember, are ##objc and #macdev on irc.freenode.net, and for iOS specifically, #iOSdev, #iphonedev, #ipaddev. (Try this as a good, free IRC client.)
That said, if there are any questions you have, feel free to send me a PM and I'm more than happy to try and help out.
I'm not sure either. I did a bit of Googling and I think this could work. Take the output from the script I pasted above and link it to this script to get that text into Colloquy:
tell application "Colloquy" tell active panel of front window send message "hello world" end tell end tell

you most likely came from Windows/Linux because you replaced stock Apple applications such as Safari and Mail.app with Chrome and Thunderbird.
You may also simply want to have a solid UNIX based machine on which you can find your familiar tools and programs as you would be used to with I assume Linux. I would peg you as a software developer/web developer with graphics on the side (Adobe products in menu bar), needing Virtual Box, some virtualisation software to do testing of websites in various different browsers.
Your use of Xchat instead of Colloquy shows you have a love for using software on OS X that was written for Linux, it doesn't really fit in with the Apple environment and stands out like a sore thumb. You have some mild OCD and require everything to be categorised into folders, and you hate having stuff hidden from you by the OS.
