Revision as of 10:06, 24 August 2011
The name of our IRC channel is #tcs-fika and it's running on Quakenet, so connect e.g. to se.quakenet.org. As its name suggests, it's not very work related. Its main aim is practicing Swedish but even perfect Swedish speakers are welcome.
There are many clients out there, I'm sure you can find a good one for your operating system. mIRC and XChat are probably the most popular and should cover most operating systems. You can also connect via webchat, just enter your nickname and "#tcs-fika". But the Real Men™ run irssi under screen.

TFL#
The tcs-fika language for the irc channel (TFL#) is a proposed standard (see section changes to this specification) for making conversations on irc more efficient, convenient and unambiguous. A cursory examination of a one month chat history disclosed a high potential for improving the communication process of TCS members. By using at most four characters per expression, TFL# will drastically reduce network traffic, help saving the precious time of communicating peers (which can be reused for research instead) and mitigate the risk of misunderstandings leading to embarrassing situations, chaos and mischief.
basic expressions
! it's lunch time! / it's 1445 (trivial statement, may be omitted) ? will anybody have lunch / join for fika now a yes n nej - no l I have lost the game (if clear from context, Lukas may omit this) tldr too long, didn't read (mandatory answer to "natural" language comments exceeding the four character limit)
more sophisticated conversation terms
-0xN we are N minutes late! (N being a hexadecimal number of minutes) - we are late and I don't like hexadecimal numbers + I am hungry / dying for a coffee +N me, too (N > 1! Using "+1" violates a google copyright) h här - I will have lunch / fika here u ut - I will have lunch outside / want to have fika outside :::: I am coming in 15 minutes. .:.: I am coming in five minutes. ..:: I am coming in three minutes. ...: I am coming in one minute. .... I am on my way!
