Make Freenode IRC web client auto-join a #channel
qubodup, June 19th, 2009
#freenode@freenode.net told me that internet drama caused the on-line IRC client Mibbit to be blocked from the IRC server Freenode, which is popular amongst open source projects.
The solution is simple: use Freenode’s web client (which isn’t as horrible as it was the last time I tried it).
Luckily it’s possible to create auto-join links, by providing username or channel parameters.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=visitorOGA&channels=opengameart will connect to the #opengameart channel as “visitorOGA”.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=opengameart,freegamer will connect to #freenode and #freegamer, but ask for username first.
I use Irssi at home and my auto-join list is currently #freegamer,#opengameart,#parpg,#loveclub
