Just wanted to share a great resource I use everyday: Undernet. IRC is usually linked in the press to crackers and juarez but a lot of developers chat in real time using IRC and I find it very usefule to be able to ask questions and get an immediate response or bounce new ideas off of others in real-time.

Since I'm currently developing in C# I find myself hanging out on Undernet in #C#, #dotnet, and #asp.net. All of these channels are filled with experienced developers and are a great tool to keep in the tool box.

Another network I like to lurk on is irc.gnome.org, you can find tons of mono help in is #mono and even the original authors themselves. There is no better resource for Mono development IMO.

Just a FYI - whatever you do, DO NOT got into #asp on undernet unless you want to see what America would be like if the Nazis had won the war..Circus Maximus
