Missing first edits from an IP on launch

[webster]

It seems that the first time that an IP address in range makes an edit after anon is launched, the edit is ignored. In --noop mode, I've been able to reproduce this on several different IP addresses while testing. It would seem to me that this means that the first edit from any IP in range is missed, after each launch of anon.

1. Start anon
2. Edit a page from an IP in range (let's say 127.0.0.2)
3. Nothing listed in the console
4. Edit a page from the same IP in range (again, 127.0.0.2)
5. Appears in console
6. Edit a page from 127.0.0.3
7. Nothing listed in console
8. Edit a page from 127.0.0.3 again
9. Appears in console
10. Edit a page from 127.0.0.3 again
11. Appears in console
12. Control+C to kill anon
13. Start anon again
14. Edit a page from 127.0.0.3 again
15. Nothing appears in console
16. Edit a page from 127.0.0.3 again
17. Now it re-appears in console.

As provided here, the second, third, and so on are all showing up just fine. The first one never does. And even if an IP has made a change before, that is forgotten and the first update on re-launch of anon is missed again.

Never mind, this does not appear to be reproducible if I wait awhile before testing a change. Because there's no documentation, I wasn't aware that anon was connecting to an IRC server to listen for changes, so there's a bit of a long wait in negotiating that connection.

I might suggest letting people know that it's connecting to an IRCd (and over an unencrypted connection, at that). Some hosts prohibit IRC. Thanks!

It does take some time for anon to join all 33 IRC channels, because they can't be joined all at once or else the client gets booted for excess flood. I'm glad you figured it out! Some documentation is probably needed.

Perhaps a "finished setup" event could be console.log'ed to make this obvious.

Yes, I like the idea of a 'finished setup' log message.
