Another easy way to get into the IRC chat channel is to use the Firefox extension Chatzilla - available
here.
If you have Firefox, simply install that extension (or add-on) and then click on this link:
irc://irc.freenode.net/srp or start up a new tab and put that into the address bar and press enter.
Either way will take you directly to the #srp chat channel.
See you in chat!
