Only 5 more hours to go and we’ve already cleared $2000. You people are amazing!
It’s a full 3 days for the drivers now!
Don’t forget, starting a little before 6:00PM PST, we’ll be broadcasting 2 LIVE webcam feeds, and an IRC chat, so you play along and talk to the drivers and pit crew.
Where are the links to the live webcams, and the name of the IRC channel? Best of luck drivers, see you on the other side!

We’ll be posting all that info as soon as the cams are live.

Too bad I can’t be here for the kick off…
What is required for IRC chat.

An IRC client such as mIRC (windows), and the information that will be posted later…Google should find you a download link.
I am puzzling over how we are going to talk to the drivers if they’re busy driving. Perhaps we should all call their cell phones, and see how often we can crash them.

Not only do we get to support a good cause - we get to torture canadians at the same time! talk about win-win scenario

Or if you are using FireFox, you can use their IRC plug-in. Not sure how it works though, I’m downloading it now in preparation.

The Pit Crew will be relaying the questions from the chat to the drivers, then the drivers will respond on the webcam.
You also won’t need an IRC client, we have a web-based one ready.

Darn, here I was hoping we could screw up the drivers by being distracting.

What’s the server / channel for IRC?
Comment by Lacerta — November 23, 2007 @ 9:43 pm
Lacerta, don’t be foolish and not read comments!
James says they have a web based IRC thingy so you don’t have to worry about it.
