Introduction - What is IRC?

In simple terms, IRC is a Chat program that allows users to communicate and exchange files. Users have to connect to an IRC Server and then join the Channel (similar to chat rooms) of their choice for discussion and group communication.

In this tutorial, we will cover how to connect to our IRC Channel (#HackIT-Lobby) which is available on chat4all.org Server. We will be using ChatZilla, which is a Firefox extension for IRC.

Tumhare paas kya hai ......

A good story that every Senior Manager should read:

Senior Manager working in an MNC, as usual after lunch goes to the cafeteria for coffee.

He relaxes in canteen.. He sees a canteen boy cleaning tables there.

To kill the time he decides to have fun with him. He calls him.

Senior Manager Asks canteen boy : How much do you earn?

Canteen boy just smiles.

Senior Manager: What are your future plans?

Canteen boy keeps quiet

Senior Manager : Where do you see yourself 10 years down the line?

Canteen boy gives a cold stare

Senior Manager- Jab main Bangalore aaya tha tab mere paas bhi kuch nahi tha. Aaj mere paas kya nahin hai....

Naam hai...

Shoharat hai...

Paisa hai...

Izzat Hai....

Tumhare paas kya hai?

Unzip the file.
Open command prompt.
Navigate to the directory where you extracted the zip file.
Execute the command in the following format:

whois domainname [whois.server]

where domainname can be either a DNS name (e.g. www.abc.com) or IP address (e.g. 11.22.11.22)

For the whois.server, you have to select a server from the following whois server list.

Whois Server List 1
Whois Server List 2

Objectives and Actions - The Difference

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director, "what is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized? "

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub."

1. Would you use the spoon?
2. Would you use the teacup?
3. Would you use the bucket?

Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket as it is larger than the spoon."

No," answered the Director. "
*
*
*
*
A normal person would pull the drain plug."

He flunked..... .....

There is a difference between an objective and actions!

Unless you understand your objective, you will be wasting your time in your actions, think out of the box to full fill the objectives.

Always know your objective first.

So look back.... and decide for yourself ....are you working for a mental asylum? See how many wheels are re-invented daily at your work place and judge for yourself.

The future of personal computing and communication.
