And irssi can be setup as a proxy so that you can attach to it from anywhere and have access to your personal setup.

Goes to show my inferior n00b skillz when it comes to Perl. I knew there had to be a simple way, I just didn’t know how. Oh well, on an updated release, I’ll chop it down to the sprintf.

I admit though that now that I know how to hook the Perl scripts in Irssi, I am coming up with all sorts of fun things that I can do. :)

You can get rid of the hour2bin and min2bin subroutines and replace them with the following in the convert_to_binary subroutine:

my $new_time = sprintf “%05b:%06b”, ( localtime )[2,1];

And I *never* thought about changing the timestamp format like that, just using the simple MM/DD/YY HH:MM in it’s various incarnations. Now that I have the thought in my head I’m thinking of all *kinds* of fun things I can do …
