Just a quickish note to anyone looking for me on IRC lately — when I am logged into IRC, I’m logged in as “jbrockmeier” rather than “zonker” because someone else on IRC registered “zonker” long before I was spending vast amounts of time on IRC.

So, sorry for any confusion — but if you’re looking for me, keep your eyes peeled for a “jbrockmeier” on Freenode, and “jzb” on OFTC (when I’m there).

You’d think that there wouldn’t be very many people using the “zonker” nick, but I guess that’s at least two. Three, if you count “zonk” on Slashdot.

Update: This post was inspired by two events today — James Ogley has kindly started adding IRC nicks on Planet SUSE, and having someone trying to find me on IRC and failing because I was not logged in as “zonker.”
