No need to tell you that, real geeks use to hang on the IRC.
If you’d like to join them, and you are on a Mac,
I would recommend X-Chat as IRC client.

Before you begin, be prepared to a completely different language, called “Nerdy Talk”.

This site will help you a lot to jump into this language: www.urbandictionary.com

Some of the coolest channels are:

on irc.r-type.ca:

#Hackintosh
#mac4all
#OSx86.kernel

on irc.macspeak.net:

#OSx86

Check the entire post for XInfoAqua script, click read whole post below:

Spaz provided this script for X-Chat: XInfoAqua

A system info script. It gives you system information, weather, music playing,
azureus downloading info for XChat Aqua under OSx86.
