I don't understand how you can have music in IRC?

If you followed the link that clicking on the image takes you, the page tells you and it is rather simple:

I talk about the track and post the link (usually youtube). You play the track (so does everyone else and me) and then I talk about the next one. I tend to leave a small gap between tracks to allow people to catch up as there is bound to be a variation in the start, and therefore end, of the track between "listeners".

And people talk in the channel as this is all going on too.

It works well enough.

Well, that was a very interesting independent presentation I attended last night on Windows 8. Getting some inside information from someone 'in the know' and having a Microsoft plant present in the audience too resulted in some very interesting discussion afterwards on the future of desktop operating systems, Microsoft's direction, whether MS can compete in the tablet market before Apple wrap it up completely, whether Microsoft will ever catch up with Ubuntu in interface design, the future of form factor in the domestic market because smart phones, whether corporates would even consider Windows 8, the training cost of moving away from the soon-to-be-unsupported XP, and so on.

Very stimulating, very worthy, very virtuous.

Actually the 4th Thursday of every month. Often that is the last. This has only been untrue for Halloween and Xmas so far.

Except that it isn't the last Thursday in every month it's the 4th with one mistake on my part at Xmas.
