Well that was silly. I took a pass at bitlbee and didn’t say a thing about irssi.
After all, irssi was doing the work in that case. bitlbee was just piggybacking.
I don’t know that there’s much that I can say about irssi. I’ve used it for years … maybe twice a year for years, that is.
I know enough to sign on, get into #archlinux and send a message or two. At some point in the past I validated my account name, but I’ve forgotten how I did that. 😦
And I can /quit
, when the time comes.
If you need to do more than that, my advice is to head to the greatest practical assemblage of Linux know-how collected in the history of man … the Arch Linux wiki. 🙂
development of irssi died a while ago, and has been replaced by weechat ever since.
