| == The Saurik IRC Network ==
| |
| saurik runs an InspirIRCd instance on his server at [irc://irc.saurik.com/ irc.saurik.com].
| |
| | |
| Port 6667 is opened as raw, unencrypted IRC. This is the default port most clients will connect to.
| |
| | |
| Ports 6697, 7001, and 7070 are opened as encrypted SSL IRC.
| |
| | |
| The iPhone Dev Wiki has a channel on the Saurik IRC Network, which can be found at [irc://irc.saurik.com/iphonedev #iphonedev @ irc.saurik.com].
| |
| | |
| Feel free to drop by and listen for a bit. If you have a question, but don't get an immediate response, be patient and wait a while, since not everyone is always awake and online to answer your questions.
| |
| | |
| It's also helpful to do your best finding an answer yourself (via [http://google.com/ Google], etc.) before asking in the channel.
