IRC issues

We experienced some server issues at one of our datacenters.  Things should be happy now.

IRC should always be resilient and have redundancy!  What were you thinking!?!?  

It's back up and working for me using mIRC.  

Still not working from here. Tried 3 different clients including SDC chat. Can't connect.

Maybe Nickie banned me.......

Lantec, you do something to get banned, that's really funny.   

I was doing rain dances the whole time she was on vacation......

Lantec, could it be modem, router or ISP problems?

I can reach out to the address but I get a socket error each time

Socket Error (10060: Attempt to connect timed out without establishing a connection)
[15:20:03] *** Unable to connect to IRC server

Well it's time for some of the IT smart guys to show up.  

reboot?

Somehow my default_profile.xml file got borked when the server dropped out yesterday. Copied the one from my home system and I'm good to go.........
