I really like to overdo things. Â In the overdoing spirit of the Thanksgiving season, I overdid something recently.
When I clicked on an irc link to a chatroom, it didn’t open in my preferred IRC client, which is on my webserver. Â I like to run my applications off of my webserver because I don’t have to worry about carrying thumbdrives or dealing with install policies on strange computers. Â If I’ve got a browser, my own private cloud just works.
A little digging, a little coding, and I wrote up a handler. Â Yes, that was a bit more work than I expected, but this way I can give thanks to you by giving you this gift of a very small effort.
If you’ve followed my advice before about getting your own webserver, this could be a 15 minute task for you. Â Install CGI:IRC, install my little handler, baboomp. Â Then we can chat on IRC
Say hi!
