looking for the hive-mind answer to a random question: is anyone aware of any active, thriving message-boards/irc channels/etc that concentrate on new media programming environments/theory/practice: ie Max/MSP, PD, Gem, Processing, CSound, hardware hacking, sensors.. midi, etc etc. (and I dont necessarily mean just one, but an all inclusive one, ?

Id love to find a happening IRC Channel or something similar to pose some questions to some folks regarding processing and technique (but the forum is waaaayyy to empty).

Just curious if anyone knows.

Thanks a lot // (btw forgive the cross posting if you are on other mailing lists :)
