                   One day, seven years ago, in a small, quiet room by myself, I stood in front of a canvas, picked up a brush, and began to work on a painting, dabbing here and there, not really knowing what I was going to create, or how.

A few years later, I put my brush down for a moment to pause for breath, look around, and find that I'm now in a different room, a much bigger one, filled with all kinds of people, with colors and sounds, and with other paintings, bigger and smaller than mine; some of the people are standing in front of me, close to my canvas, touching and smudging it, others are behind me looking at my painting from a distance; some are standing right next to me, telling me which colors to use or how to hold my brush, and criticising me whenever I make a mistake, and a few are working on parts of the painting all by themselves.

mIRC is still a personal work for me, and I think I've managed to keep working on it in the same spirit as when it all started; a mixture of fun, learning, and contribution. I've spent the last few years being part of a remarkable community made up of people from all over our planet, and that, in no small way, is part of what has kept me enjoying it, and believing in it.

It hasn't been easy reconciling mIRC as a personal work with its public use; I've had to learn to treat some aspects of it impersonally, which I'm not happy about, eg. I now use a pre-written reply to emails that ask the most common questions; if I tried to answer every email, I'd have little time for anything else.

I've also had to learn to accept criticism, which is hard for something that's personal; but mIRC wouldn't be where it is today without help from many people over the years.

I still enjoy working on mIRC, I am a bit more tired now but I think there may be a year or two left in me yet. I still get nervous before releasing a new version, which is probably a good sign :-) I hope you enjoy it.

I hope that mIRC has, in some way, helped to make the world a smaller, better place.

            Ce este IRC-ul ?

        IRC vine de la "Internet Relay Chat". A fost scris prima data de Jarkko Oikarinen în 1988. Deshi a început în Finlanda, a început să fie folosit în aproape toate tzările din lume. IRC este un sitem de chat multi-user, unde oamenii se întâlnesc pe Canale (camere, locuri virtuale, de obicei cu un topic de conversatzie) pentru a vorbi în grupuri sau privat. Nu există nici o restrictzie asupra numărului de persoane care pot participa în o discutzie dată, sau numărul de canale care pot fi formate pe IRC. (Cititzi mai mult despre cum a început IRC-ul de aici http://www.mirc.co.uk/help/jarkko.txt and http://www.mirc.co.uk/help/jarkko2.txt ...

                                                Cum este IRC-ul organizat ?

        Ca user, se rulează un program-client, care se conectează la un server într-o retzea IRC. Toate serverele sunt interconectate shi pasează mesaje de la un user la altul prin retzeaua IRC. Un server poate fi conectat la mai multe alte servere shi la câteva mii de clientzi. Există mai multe retzele IRC, unele mai mari, altele mai mici. Cele mai mari, EFnet (Eris Free net), IRCnet, Undernet shi Dalnet au cam 80.000 de useri conectatzi la cam orice moment! Multe din celelalte retzele sunt mai putzin populate, dar oferă mai multă stabilitate shi servicii. Ultima oară, am numărat peste 200 de retzele IRC cu mai mult de 100 de user... shi mai exista o grămadăăă de retzele mai mici...
