I tried to get on this morning and got the following errors . . .

An error occurred: Program ending: Bad arg length for Socket::pack_sockaddr_in, length is 0, should be 4 at /usr/lib/perl/5.18/Socket.pm line 154.

An error occurred: Connection to unix-domain socket(/tmp/cgiirc-extiwpw2y5a42yt3/sock): No such file or directory

Wolvenar:
Sorry, I just have not had the time to fix this.

To that matter, I am not entirely sure it will be fixable in it's current form.
(IF) I can make the time I will most certainly try to fix it.

But in the meantime if you install a client such as mIRC the server info that will get you there is

server irc.anotherpower.com
channel #otherpower           

if you do not understand how to add that info into the program, an easy way would be to open ANY server and its default room
in that room type

/server irc.anotherpower.com

it will connect to the server, then after about say, 10 seconds type

/join #otherpower

This should load into a window with our normal chat "channel"
From here someone could guide you through properly adding the info so just opening the app would get you where you want to go.

Hope this helps in the meantime, it is a much more adept way of connecting than the web client as well.
