IRC has been a big part of my life, I discovered it during junior high school
and have several friends and communities there. This is also shown by
the amount of blog posts, I have below.

I am running my own [IRC@Etro](ircs://etro.mikaela.info:6697/#mikaela.info) ([webchat](https://irc.etro.mikaela.info/))
and oper on a couple of other networks too. For a list of my registered IRCaccounts
in general, please see [txt/irc.txt](/txt/irc.txt)
and [my discuss page](/discuss) for registered channels outside of IRC@Etro.
