Yes, being alone on an IRC channel is like waiting for a train everyone

I wasn't planning on being there until we do the meeting, but just for

Rarely. Some channels run a 'bot which logs all discussions, but usually
there is only a log if some individual decides to make one personally.

I notice there is a larsbot on there at the moment...
