IRC Presentation, Wed Nov 17 19:30 EST 2004
Information on
IRC available at:
IRC
In irssi:
irssi
/connect irc.freenode.net
/join #gnhlug
Once there, you'll find people who can help you figure out everything else,
including myself.
To change your nickname, type:
/nick username
Once you have done this, you should register your nickname with nickserv:
/msg nickserv register password
user@example*REMOVE*.org
This will let you kill the nick if your connection gets disconnected for
some reason, with: /msg nickserv ghost nickname password
Your nickname is your identifier on
IRC. Protect it :)
irssi can show identifiers for "channels" or "windows" that have activity:
[20:38:28] [crschmidt(+w)] [17:nickserv] [Act: 2,5,7,8,9,10,13,16]
The format here is: timestamp, nickname, user mode, windowid:window title,
Activity listing (Currently, I have activity awaiting attention in all these
channels.)
