Using BitlBee

I finally bit the bullet and installed BitlBee, an “IRC instant messaging gateway” (quote WP). Basically, it goes between IRC and a variety of IM protocols, of which MSN is one. In other words, I can now access all my MSN conversations through my IRC client. I’ve always preferred using Irssi to MSN Messenger, so this is probably the best solution for now. I’ll see how well it works over the next few weeks.

    Are you hosting your own server or are you using a public server?

    Hosting my own server. The port’s not forwarded, so it’s only for local use :P
