well, I saw goofster today, logging into irc with blender 
all this does for me, is SPARK! that the networking, and talking to other Ip addresses may be all the more soon possible… we’re getting there…
maybe i misunderstood you, but did you say he logged in FROM WITHIN BLENDER!!!
Yeah! he used some python coding or whatever, and he was logging in (and getting kicked out) but still!
he’s not the first to do so.
Don’t want to take away any credit from Goofster, but K-Rich also did something like that a year or so ago (maybe Goof is adding to the code K-Rich did, I don’t know).

oh cool hopefully, soon they’ll be able to get in some kind of networking… or release the python code as an open source assignment to the public just ideas, just ideas… but good to know some peoplez are working on this
logging in is very easy to do. if u would like i can send u a small blender irc client i made.
