To support the ongoing efforts to establish a chat channel for the users of ethno::log and the students of our institute I added a little button to the right which connects directly to the #ethnonerds channel at irc.freenode.net using your antville username (in case its a valid chat name). I couldn't make it easier, sorry ;-)

Thanks goes to the people at www.ircatwork.com who keep the server for the web interface. I did a little research on the original script cgi:irc they are using to get this working and I hope it is not a "misuse" of their service that after my little hack this button now directly connects to the freenode server and our channel. I mailed them already.
