IRC

Before starting anything below, you need to figure out if your irc network supports
registering nicks. This will lock your nick in so you won't lose it.

A network like Freenode.net will allow registering nicks.
To understand how to do this take a look at the little FAQ and walk
through over on freenode.net

/msg nickserv password < your password >

/msg NickServ set email you@domain.tld

Set up Logging

          
/set autolog on
/set autolog_level ALL -CRAP -CLIENTCRAP -CTCPS

Decide how to organize your log

[logdir]->[Year]->[Network]->[channel.month-day.log]

/SET autolog_path ~/irclogs/%Y/$tag/$0.%m-%d.log

[logdir]->[Network]->[channel.log]

/SET autolog_path ~/irclogs/$tag/$0.log

IRC Themes

Setting a theme

You can get themes from irssi.org here.

/set theme <themename>

Saving the theme

/layout save

IRC scripts

running scripts in ~/.irssi/scripts/ dir

/run hilightwin.pl

Making scripts run on irssi startup

This actually requires no cmd line operations in irssi, rather in the shell

directly. Copy the script into ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ or create a link using ln -s

Saving changes to irssi

There are two save commands that must be noted

/save 
/layout save

/window new hide
/window new split
/window close

Switching between windows
