Irc

I guess not. Looks like the Windows version has to be paid for. Well, I'm not using XChat anymore...

Of course, you could always get it from http://isohunt.com for free. Not that I'm advocating piracy, or anything.

For Windows, one of the better (and more commonly used) ones is MIRC. I think it's free...

I think she's older. I'd say mid-40s.

You fools. Don't you know you are never supposed to discuss a woman's age?

Never mind the age, I'm still getting over the surprise of finding a female programmer.

It shouldn't surprise actually. Maybe in your country. In my country, we have quite a lot of female programmers. Even in my workplace, female outnumbered male.

However from my various employers working history, most of them are more into Project Mgmt, System Analysis etc kind of work. Even for programming, they are doing more of the business-centric stuff. Infrastructure plumbing stuff are usually dominated by male programmers as we focus more on technicalities rather than Business User business requirements.

Sometimes I feel doing infrastructure plumbing coding can alienate us as we talk to computers much more than programmers who do business-centric coding where they need to liaise and communicate with Business Users.

Lastly, there are very few lady C++ or even C programmers as most are into Java, PLSQL, .NET etc. Somehow C/C++ close embrace to the machine turn off ladies I guess. Who want to play with pointers ? They want to fulfill business requirements and not to worry how to "please" the computer instead :D

I return after a few days' absence, and look what I find!
Hehe. No comment, except that I'm younger than I think many of you might guess.
