Hey Akratics, any thoughts on having a live text chat forum for Beeminder support? At the very least it should be a fun place to go waste unbounded amounts of time shooting the breeze with us Beeminder developers: [http://dreev.es/chat](http://dreev.es/chat) (we’re trying out hipchat right now and it’s super slick). Pop in and let us know what you think! Danny, Bethany, and Andy PS: Uluc, Melanie, Jill, etc: you all should definitely get in there. – [http://dreev.es](http://dreev.es) – search://"Daniel Reeves" Follow the Yellow Brick Road – [http://beeminder.com](http://beeminder.com) ---

—cut here— Please enter your name: “PJF” Please enter your first and last names: “P JF” Please do not use all upper case. “p jf” Thank you… joining chat… —cut here— I’m guessing those settings are configurable? Is the chat backed by an IRC channel I can join instead? 😉 Paul On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 11:00 AM, Daniel Reeves [dreeves@beeminder.com](mailto:dreeves@beeminder.com) wrote: > Thanks to those of you who have dropped in!

We’re playing Pomodoro Poker on dreev.es/chat today. Feel free to join us. (The idea is we each announce a task and then all shut up for 45 minutes and do it, then report back success or failure.) (Paul and Alys, accessing it via IRC seems to be possible and it would be very cool to set that up but we haven’t yet gotten a round tuit – [Beeminder: Round Tuit Dispenser | Beeminder Blog](http://blog.beeminder.com/tuit) ) On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 6:00 PM, Daniel Reeves [dreeves@beeminder.com](mailto:dreeves@beeminder.com) wrote: > Thanks to those of you who have dropped in!

I think you can connect via jabber/xmpp, but as far as i know only if you have a hipchat account… On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 4:03 PM, Daniel Reeves [dreeves@beeminder.com](mailto:dreeves@beeminder.com) wrote: > We’re playing Pomodoro Poker on dreev.es/chat today.
