I've just been a little sick in my mouth. If there was a line you crossed it.

You can be a whole lot sick in the old man's mouth for a fiver.

We use slack.

Have a channel hooked up to git so you can see deploys etc

also find it useful when we have a 'technical issue' the people fixing it keep posting short but regular updates on where they are

saves having some tit coming in every 5 minutes asking 'when is it going to be fixed' and 'can it be fixed any quicker'

This article enthuses about good old IRC and seems to suggest Slack is solving a problem that doesn't really exist. Please don’t use Slack for FOSS projects - Drew DeVault’s Blog

I don't know I quite agree - and he is speaking specifically about FOSS - but we have been using chatrooms for decades quite happily. Others can probably comment on other alternatives.

It's quite neat BUT it's another proprietary, hosted tool. Plenty of open-source alternatives out there.

Any good examples? Am looking for an open source enterprise messaging tool we can host ourselves for "business" purposes. Needs to be secure.

Well, if you are using mobiles and receiving those microwaves all the time, it explains why most of the agents I talk to are completely brain dead

I was thinking something similar about the sores on your and MF's rectal prolapses.

I've affectionately named mine assguru.

Hope the rash cleared up after your last encounter with MF

Well, surely that's a good thing, if it made you drool you probably are unsafe to be in public and you should be locked up

It's in use within the dev team at current clientco. It works pretty well, although it'll never be google wave (still mourning).
