Update
Update to the freenode IRC issue. The DNS for chat.freenode has not been hijacked, the changes were made deliberately in order to reduce load in the face of a DDOS. Our previous advice to use alternative hostnames, such as roddenberry.freenode.net or leguin.freenode.net still applies. Please see @freenodestaff for official updates.
