Re: [CODE4LIB] Help with WordPress for Code4Lib Journal
After a bit of dithering on this, I'm pretty sure that Mark's revision of the plugin is working under the current version of WordPress I'm testing on (3.4.2). I have a few other things I'm going to need to do before I declare this solved, upgrade the Journal's instance of WordPress and upload the updated plugin to GitHub, but I wanted to say thanks in advance.

Re: [CODE4LIB] basic IRC question/comments
Hi Wendy, The IRC nickname is ephemeral unless you register it with your email. You can choose whatever name you want. If it is taken already by someone else, it will add _ or a number at the end. While you are on IRC, you can also change your nickname to something else like from wendyr to wendyr_meeting, and then change it back or to something else.

Re: [CODE4LIB] basic IRC question/comments
Register your IRC name! It may be a pita, but it is less of a pita than losing it to someone who wants to pretend to be you. Note that anyone can use your name when you are not there, so this is not a perfect system, but you can kick them off when you come online. You can also just leave your client on.

Re: [CODE4LIB] basic IRC question/comments
Hi Wendy, The typical train of thought is that your IRC nick is the same one you would apply in other social spheres. Since most people know me from Twitter, and my nick there is @pnkrcklibrarian, for this particular IRC server, that is what I went with. A good rule of thumb is to be consistent across various networks that you interact on so that people can follow you. You can also choose to anonymize yourself by choosing a nick that best represents something you're interested in or identify with that is not used on other social spheres. It really is completely up to you on what you feel most comfortable with and there is typically no hard/fast rules. If you decide you'll be hanging out on #libtechwomen a lot (or on irc.freenode.net in general), it might be a good idea to register your nick as explained here http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration because the short answer is, sometimes people are assholes. A good primer on IRC is available here http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html You can download/install a client OR you can connect via the web (http://webchat.freenode.net/) if you so choose. If you have anymore questions, please feel free to contact me off list. I'll be more than happy to help!

Re: [CODE4LIB] basic IRC question/comments
If you decide you'll be hanging out on #libtechwomen a lot (or on irc.freenode.net in general), it might be a good idea to register your nick as explained here http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration because the short answer is, sometimes people are assholes. Another important option for complete newbies is to pick a guest username (these are often generated automatically by different clients, Guest1234, etc) so that you can try it out completely anonymously. I, for one, am certainly happy to interact with people on an anonymous basis if that's what they want. Cheers stuart
Re: [CODE4LIB] basic IRC question/comments
You can also choose to anonymize yourself by choosing a nick that best represents something you're interested in or identify with that is not used on other social spheres. It really is completely up to you on what you feel most comfortable with and there is typically no hard/fast rules. One thing to keep in mind is that your nick might be anonymous, but irc in general is done in the clear and some connection information will be published by default. I think that's partially a legacy of how long IRC has been around. When someone logs into a channel you'll see something like foo...@1241workstation.uiowa.edu. There's ways to cloak that id by registering that nick and donating some money to the organization that runs freenode, pdpc. That's a bit trickier to setup. The user registration faq of freenode can be useful: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration. So when someone who is registered and cloaked logs in, the connection will display something like foobar@professional.cloaked has joined the channel. - I can't remember the exactg string). So just know that if someone is logging the channel (which is possible, there's plenty of clients and ways to do it) and you come in several times with different nicks but the same network address they'll know it's likely the same person.

Re: [CODE4LIB] basic IRC question/comments
And, sorry for being annoying, but some things were pointed out to me in #code4lib, so I'm issuing yet another followup. 1) the technique freenode uses for cloaks isn't as strong as it used to be. Also, it's possible to accidentally log in without a cloak, etc. Don't expect them to be very secure. 2) There's ways to get a cloak without financial contribution. How exactly to do this I leave as an exercise to the reader. I never really worried about it too much, the cloak was just a perk when I made the donation. 3) Apparently most web clients will pass on the browser ip, not the server ip address. So don't count on that to make you anonymous. So the general thrust is, if you really, really need anonymous communication, be wary of irc. However, in general people usually respect the nicks from my experience and won't press people for their actual identities. Also, as mentioned before, most irc servers/channels are not encrypted and pretty easy to log.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Question abt the code4libwomen idea

Personally, my concern isn't that it is reverse discrimination - it's that it is still discrimination. I don't feel that past sins excuse further ones. [...] And since I am not a member of the group that has been discriminated against I don't think I or anyone else not in that group should try to dissuade them from doing what is in their best interest. I am not a member of *that* group that has been discriminated against, but I am a member of one minority that is routinely discriminated against in a pretty direct way - code4lib's wiki suggests we are not human, as I mentioned in another mail on Friday: https://listserv.nd.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1212L=CODE4LIBD=0P=167926 - and I am not dissuading women from doing what is in their best interest, but I believe setting up another discriminatory group is not in anyone's best interests.
