It’s done… all messages are now running through my fancy IRC client named irssi.

What messages you ask? Well, there is all IRC traffic obviously, then all jabber contacts, and all ICQ/AIM contacts and… woohoo… thanks to twirssi I now even have my identi.ca (or Twitter if you’re brave enough) feeds in an irssi window (from which I can also update my identi.ca stuff, of course).

Isn’t that great?

    Do you have any good tutorials that you used for this? I started to set up irssi on my sever once but the giant config ran me away.

    Honestly no :(
    I still don’t get any features right… I’d suggest that you take whatever irssi tutorial google finds for you and tale the first steps. After a while /save and /save_layout to keep the config.
    For jabber check out irssi-plugin-xmpp, for ICQ/AIM/MSN/whatever take a look at bitlbee (which can do xmpp/jabber as well). Those are easy to setup if irssi is running fine. And twirssi is at http://irc.peeron.com/~zigdon/twirssi/ with good info to jump right in…
    As a last hint: look at http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=irssi-scripts for great helper.

    Good luck :)
