Box is running Ubuntu 14.04.3 and node v0.10.25.

slack-irc-client only support node 0.12 and up. This is mainly due to one of the main dependencies, node-slack-client depending on node version 0.12 (https://github.com/slackhq/node-slack-client/blob/master/package.json#L49). I'll mention this in the documentation, and add some version check to startup.

Apprently there doesn't seem to be any hard dependencies on 0.12, so I'll just fix this issue and hope it works well on 0.10. Released version 0.1.4 with the fix.
