Can we make this happen?
me: how hard is it to open port 666? Is it like a click of a
button or some weirdly involved coding?
temporarily I mean
stinndler: i have to log into the firewall console
find the right access-list then add the exception to it
all so you can use IRC
me: It's part of Ustream...lots of online presenters use it.
stinndler: how many is lots?
me: I could join one everyday
stinndler: ustream.tv?
me: yep
I'm watching this right now http://www.ustream.tv/channel/
weblogg-ed-tv
It's basically over but just curious
stinndler: so it allows you to ask questions of the
presenter?
me: that and chat with participants
stinndler: checking my firewall logs it looks like it's always
going to the same server
i could potentially open up port 6667 to just that server
that would remove the risk
me: that would be cool
you rock....you knew that right?
stinndler is typing…
