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! :)

 - James.
