# IRC Log Summary - January 18, 2012

Based on the IRC log from the #hplusroadmap channel, there was minimal substantive discussion on this day. The few notable points were:

* A brief discussion about creating software that could sit on top of ezproxy (an academic proxy service) to potentially gain backdoor access to academic papers, with a comment about keeping "the movement legit" suggesting ethical concerns.

* Mention of ecstasy testing kits with reference to PillReports.com, which appears to be a resource for testing the purity and safety of MDMA.

* A brief exchange about DanceSafe.org selling drug testing kits, with commentary on why ecstasy specifically requires testing (due to being cut with harmful substances).

* Discussion of how raves have been "stamped out by legislation and aggressive policing" in many locations, with implicit criticism of this trend.

* A user quit message containing an interesting scientific statement: "the neuronal action potential is an electrical manipulation of reversible abrupt phase changes in the lipid bilayer," suggesting interest in neuroscience among channel participants.
