Just like mailing lists, there's a big choice out there. Freenode
(irc.freenode.net) has a decent handful of security-related channels, as
well as general technology-focused channels (Full Disclosure, though -
I'm a staffer on the network, although I wouldn't promote it if I didn't
think it was a good fit for you 0:)

A few decent starter channels on the network are ##security,
##networking, and #cisco, all of which seem like they're broadly ontopic
for you. There are some other security channels you might be interested
in as well like #remote-exploit (home of the backtrack livecd distro)
and #webappsec.

If you're interested in programming, ##java and ##c++ are probably worth
a try too.

Good luck! :)
