Re: [PLUG] Daemonized IRC Client

[Kyle Yankanich <kyleyankanich@gmail.com>]

I use ZNC. It's a bouncer, which means it connects to IRC server such as Freenode, Snoonet, etc for me, and runs as a daemon. Then I can connect to my personal server with any IRC client, Andchat, irssi, etc and it will pass me through to the real IRC network. It works greats because I can keep multiple connections open, so my phone, desktop and laptop are all logged into the same channels under one nick. I additionally run a irssi+screen session connected to my ZNC, purely out of convenience for hopping between laptops/computers.

At PLUG N last week there was discussion about the need for a
daemonized IRC client that could accept connections from
desktop/mobile devices.  In that discussion irssi+screen/etc seemed
like the only real option out there, but obviously it is less than
user-friendly and not great on a mobile device with no keyboard.

I just saw Quassel mentioned in a dicussion elsewhere along these
lines, and looking at their webpage I'll definitely be giving it a
look:
