Seconding #postgres as awesomely smart and helpful. Especially RhodiumToad, who always seems to be in there.

Oh man, RhodiumToad on #postgres totally saved my ass a couple of times like 2 years ago. Good times.

I see this #whatever notation a lot. What does it refer to?

irc chat, generally on the 'freenode' irc server - http://freenode.net/

IRC is still heavily used in the open source world. It's a great resource and you should add it to your arsenal of 'places to get support on FLOSS stuff'

Should we be doing video chat in 2010? People used telephones 30 years ago, and it's still popular now :-)

I'm on irc most days of the week. It's far from dead.

#whatever in the context of a 'channel' means IRC (Internet Relay Chat), generally on the Freenode.net network.
