I was always on a great connection that I controlled. However, since I started my new job, I&rsquo;ve been struggling for the last 10 months or so to stay as connected on IRC as I had in the past.</p> <p>See, half the time my laptop is connected to our network through a wired connection when I&rsquo;m working at my desk. It is extremely fast, and I have all of the access I need to our internal production networks. However, when I go to meetings (which can be a lot), I switch over to the wireless. For whatever reason, the ports to Freenode&rsquo;s IRC channel are blocked, so I can&rsquo;t access it. Then switching back and forth every day causes me to connect, drop, etc. Also, when I commute I don&rsquo;t have my laptop open and connected to the internet.</p>
