For those with smartphones I was able to add GBS-FM to the TuneIn app. Just search for GBS-FM.

I just used AndroIRC on my smartphone and entered the server/chan manually, so now I can enjoy those long periods of awkward silence while on the move. The IRC chan is probably one of the most relaxed and drama-free corners of the internet. Even if the current site implementation is somewhat lacking I take some comfort in our small band of IRCers.

It involves an arcane ritual whereby the mods look down from above, ask the IRC channel's holy oracle, and gives tokens to whomever the oracle deems worthy.

Back in the day anybody who dared that in irc got made into a catgirl.
The number of catgirls on the station is what eventually brought about it's demise.

I have a token. I don't know how I got it, but I'm hoping if I keep it for long enough it'll split and turn into more tokens. Like an amoeba.

No, you should be like me and hoard all the tokens you get...until you have 9 and realize that there's no point to having all the tokens if you never use them on anything. And then you blow 5 tokens on all the songs on the Dad Rock album.

For some bizarre reason SynIRC has decided I'm a spambot and IP-banned me, so no more #gbs-fm chat until I can figure out how to contact their admin team - their website is borked :(

edit: Oh, it's not just me. Phew.

Synirc seems to have gone mental and banned lots of people for being Spambots. So we have no IRC for now. (Including me)

edit: Twitter is abuzz about it.

Yeah, it looks like someone's gotten their hands on a synirc ircop account and decided to be a dick, or someone is burning out in a spectacular fashion.

Edit: Their forums are hella slow now, probably from everyone trying to figure out what the hell happened. In the meantime, you can use the steam group channel to chat, if you really need it.

"No. It's not the end of synIRC. It's also not the end of the world. It's just the end of some admin's permission to use the spam filters." from their twitter.

Righto, after they pulled their webserver to get backups of config files (at least, that's what I gather from their twitter), synirc is now back up with services restored.

This has been an example of why you make backups someplace other than your webserver.

I upgraded to iOS 5 on the weekend, and now when I zoom in on the site, every DIV zooms simultaneously, rather than the site as a whole page, is anyone else seeing this? I'd be curious if it affects other WebKit browsers.

Before (slightly zoomed in, correct behaviour on iOS 4)





After (zoomed in, bad behaviour on iOS 5)
