Now this is a quick video I made in one take on how to login to freenode IRC network using empathy. The video will be embedded at the bottom of this post. The video is found here, if your using a Feed Reader that doesn’t support embedded videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_yvPl152L0
I’m using Empathy inside of Ubuntu 10.10 Meerkat Maverick, but should work on any distro that has Empathy.
If you need to add freenode to the list the details are:
address: irc.freenode.net
port: 6667
Alis is a channel list search bot. For a list of commands she accepts, type in “HELP” without quotes and she’ll tell you the commands she accepts. The example I used in the video are:
LIST *ubuntu*
LIST *programming*
Hope this helps some people out, if needs be I will quite happy redo the video if people think it is really bad. Any comments on something I may have missed feel free to post them here or on the YouTube video. Thanks.
Next blog post should hopefully have some irssi stuff, and how to split up conversations. Still need to do more fiddling with it before I do actually do a write-up about it though.
