The way you can log in to the cbstream chatterbox client has just been changed.

The new mechanism is as follows. Join both the #cbstream and #cbstream-login channels on the irc server irc.freenode.net. Then write a message to the #cbstream-login channel saying “login your-perlmonks-username your-perlmonks-password”. You need to be identified to freenode to be able to do this. You should then be able to talk on the channel #cbstream and the messages will appear in the chatterbox.

Once you're logged in, you may part the #cbstream-login channel if you wish. You may replace login to plogin in the login message to login permanently if you take care not to divulge your freenode account password. To log out, send cbstream a private message saying logout.

The changes follow the plans I've outlined in the previous PMD Cbstream login system changes: quest for a catchy name.

More information about cbstream can be found in the cbstream FAQ.

Please report any bugs these changes cause. Sorry for any downtime.
