Good news everyone,
I have developed a new technology that let's you read this post in the sound of my voice.

I have laid the hosting hobgoblins to rest by hosting the cinci2600.org website on Wordpress. If you want to post to the website, just sign up at wordpress.com and contact me with your WP account.

Now that the website's hardware is no longer at risk of being seized by Cincinnati Bell (don't ask) we can focus on developing new tools.

We are still having meetings on the first Friday of the month at 7pm. Last night I proposed a VPN to serve as a Darknet for Cinci2600, so if you are in the area, please attend.

Another tool that has been sorely missed is a chat server. IRC is a cool guy, uses 90's technology and doesn't afraid of anything. I have been looking for a means to do old school confs and IRC-type stuff, and I happened upon Discord.

Discord has lots of clients, including Linux, Mac, Windows, and a few mobiles. You can get your invite to the Cinci2600 server by visiting chat.cinci2600.net. If there isn't a client for your waffle iron running NetBSD, there is a browser-based client that you can use. You're welcome :-)

So tell a buddy and bring a friend to the shiny new Cinci2600 chat service.

I want to get input on the best way to implement this Darknet VPN so we can have fun with it.

Hugs and kisses <3
