How would you differentiate this from apps like Wireshark and Packet Peeper?

I posted this on Hacker News and it managed to rack up 12 votes and over 1,000 pageviews, not bad.

That's quite an installation process. Are you pulling all these parts together from independent sources or is this meant to be one package upon installation?

Would be great to see a demo.

Thank you for that @cmrocks I fixed it.

@cmrocks Thank you for catching that. The edit link should now be visible. I'm not sure why the upload didn't work though. Can you try it again and paste the exact error?

Why not use the screenshot feature we have here?

@FelicianoX Great! Good to see you back on the site. Maybe you can just update your GitHub repo and update the download link to go to that.

Need to update your links. This doesn't seem to be available anymore. Best just to update your GitHub repo.

Always nice to see some code tags though. It helps people see a reason to download it and try it.

Would be nice to see some code snippets demonstrating this.

Some nice updates. Keep up the good work! Now port it over to Android and you'll have something ;)

@sean Yes, I really need to start producing some node.js code myself.

@F*U*R*B*Y* Maybe even try to do it with something like Python and HTML5. That would make for a nice challenge. Or even node.js.

There we go, I got it to run. Here are some suggestions:

- Pressing enter should send the command, shouldn't have to click
- Would be nice if it maintained a current channel state so I don't need to type /msg #chan
- Window should be resizable
- Needs a nicklist
- Needs a way to save a server
- Needs to connect to multiple servers

You'd have to upgrade anyway. It's constantly changing.

@SunnyD If you built this with Eclipse you're already halfway there. Just search Google for instructions on setting up the Android SDK within Eclipse. Then create a barebones Android template and paste your code in from this. You'll have to make a layout to contain it, but it should be a fun exercise.

Still getting the same error, did you compile it in 1.6? Also, have you considered making this into an Android app?

Did you compile this into Java 1.7? I'm getting a ClassLoader error when I try to run the jar file. It's better to compile into 1.6 since it's more universal.

So this is a Java IRC client? Your description wasn't too clear about what this actually is.

You can adjust your code to apply the slashes only if magic_quotes are off by checking ini_get( 'magic_quotes_gpc' ). Or you can always run stripslashes() on the content before you run mysql_real_escape_string().

@sunslayer Nice work, although I notice it added backslashes on your demo there.

@sunslayer You might want to look at CodeMirror as an alternative to Geshi. We were using Geshi for a while, but we just started using CodeMirror which is quite nice. There's also Prettify which actually detects the language.

Looking great, nice to see you're continued support for this!

Do you use git or Mercurial? If it's Mercurial then I can see why you'd choose bitbucket. I'm considering creating a Hawkee API and an app that allows users to import their github projects into Hawkee.

Oh nevermind, I see you have it on bitbucket. Why did you choose bitbucket over github?

I noticed the readme.md file. Do you also have this on github?

Ah very good, I haven't seen a site request passwords like this.

What is the purpose of this?

I don't think making the bot in PHP would be a very good idea. Most mIRC users don't know how to run PHP. What would make sense is to install this on a shared web host and create an mIRC client that can be configured to connect to it and pass information. But the PHP code should recieve the updates after the client authenticates. Best not to allow the client to update mysql directly.
