Got a message from 'ny.snoonet.org' with the word 'TIME', tried to
reply and there was 'No such nick/channel'. Explanation please?
reddit / irc

That is what you call a CTCP. What was happening was Snoonet was
querying your client for your current time.

Huh, I see!

Thanks :)

Ah! I'm not a big IRC user, so this was a bit odd for me!

Thanks Techman-!

You're welcome. To be honest, CIRC can display CTCP's a little bit
better. I'll forward that to its developer :)

Thank you ! I usually use Limechat, but it's not available on the
Chromebook...

That's something I can tell Satoshi Nakagawa...

That screenshot you showed me looked a lot like CIRC...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
HeyItsWilliam · 2014-08-13 00:31

It is! I meant I usually use Limechat on Mac's & so, but since I am on
the Chromebook, I use CIRC. I'm bad at explaining things...

Oh, okay.

Actually made a pull request for it a few months ago, it was accepted.
Just need to wait for the next update.
