So Alt-Tab over to your IRC client and start talking. :-) C'mon, it's
not *that* hard to start a conversation: just ask a question or just
say "hi all, what's up". Even if nobody notices your comment at first,
sooner or later someone will, and you can probably set your IRC client
to alert you when someone types anything in the channel.

And if you're annoyed with keeping a full-scale IRC client open see
http://tlug.ss.org/wiki/IRC_with_Gaim and follow the easy
instructions. Don't forget to Alt-click on #toronto-lug in your buddy
list and select "Auto-join".

Cheers,
Jason, who's taking a break from all IRC usage for now :-)
