Tjerk Vonck? Who is that guy?
I guess it's about the time for me to climb on the soapbox? But since I doubt the world
out there is waiting for another boring personal homepage I'll keep this very brief.
Tjerk Vonck? - That's me; living in Holland -no-not-in-Amsterdam-,
and mIRC user, beta-tester, FAQ maintainer, Web keeper, creator of the first ever #mIRC and
trout-slapper since those early days in February/March 1995. Don't ask me why, but I fell in
love with mIRC the very first moment I saw it. mIRC is simple in use and offers lots of strong
features, functions and options to give me a good time, chatting.
The first years I helped Khaled with mIRC we e-mailed and chatted a lot about mIRC's development,
but we hadn't seen or spoken each other In Real Life, ever! Isn't IRC great? Then after four
years of intervening with mIRC I finally visited Khaled in London, in spring 1999.
In summer 2001 we both visited the international conference Hackers At Large,
and around mid-summer 2002 we went on a trip to meet our #mIRC friends and beta testers in the north-east of the States!
How can I help you?
I assume you already read the IRC Intro and
mIRC FAQ?? (Of course you did) and did you read Khaled's new FAQ?
Yes, you can ask me whatever question you have regarding IRC and mIRC, ...but I kinda hesitate to provide all simple
answers over and over, so I'll first filter you through a little self-help FAQ....
You can not find the Macintosh or UNIX version? Sorry, there is no mIRC for Mac or UNIX
and there is no plan to make one. You better get the excellent Ircle
for Mac's or one of the IRCii clients for UNIX.
You can not connect from AOL? AOL protects you from the evil IRC world and blocks most
of the IRC servers. Read the AOL Help file
to learn what servers you can use without problems.
Does your DCC malfunction? Your DCC might malfunction due to some simple mis-configuration.
Study the DCC Help file to learn what you
need to fix.
You want to mirror these Web pages? Perfect, but I maintain all copies myself on
freely provided Web accounts with FTP access. I prefer the hassle of a few stable mirrors I
maintain myself over the risk of lots of outdated copies of these pages ;o)
You want to supply a fresh list of IRC servers of your network? Great, but please keep
it short, make a top 3 and throw away rotten servers. Specify all info I need and keep in your
mind we can't possibly include all servers of all networks in mIRC. Try to stick to the servers.ini
file syntax and the guidelines I placed
on the web.
Did you find errors in this website? Or did you find outdated pages on some mirror site?
Please send me an email with the exact location of the erroneus page and the problem I should
look into. Thanks!
So, you passed by all traps? Your answer wasn't in any FAQ or Help file? The gods
of #irchelp failed and #mIRC is baffled? Then amaze me with your questions and/or remarks
on these Web pages by Emailing to tjerk@mirc.com. I'll get
to your mail as soon as possible..... I promise!
Tjerk Vonck.
