Is the Donation system broken?

Dear Garrett,

my apologize about not confirming your donation
I was busy with a family matter and I didn't checked about it.

Petr was so kind to send me an SMS waking me up from my distraction

Thank you very much for it. All donated money are used to pay costs of thinBasic dedicated server.

Thanks again
Eros

In the mean time, we can all get together on the #AllBASIC IRC and share virtual pizza, beer and conversation. Mike has joined us in the past on #AllBASIC.

If I weren't so old and anti-social I'd join you on IRC. One of these days I will join just to say howdy.

With IRC there is nothing to join. Just select a NICK (User ID you wish to be identified by) and that's it.

Like dropping in at the neighborhood pub for a brewsky.

Sorry, old school verbiage there. Back in the day, the word join along with the term IRC meant "enter" the channel or join in on the conversation in a channel. Much like "jumping on" a BBS, or hitting the boards. We didn't literally jump on someone's BBS or hit some boards.

Any IRC client recommendations? It's been near 10 years since I last used any IRC client.

P.S. Ahhhh, the good old days; IRC, Usenet, Gopher, Archie, QBasic. All just a command prompt away from you. :-)
