I wrote a quick little perl script/irssi plugin that allows you to update twitter from irssi. It also has autocompletion for names from your friends and follower list. You can get it here: http://devtoo.net/svn/twitter/twitter.pl
To use this script place it in ~/.irssi/scripts and then type /load twitter.pl in irssi
Usage:
/twitter u I’m updating twitter from irssi
/twitter d sontek I’m direct messasging sontek from irssi
DISCLAIMER: First perl script I’ve ever written, i’m sure I’ve done things wrong.
To start the new year, I was wondering what everyone’s favorite theme, scripts, and hacks for irssi are. I currently use the default irssi theme with the following scripts:
- nicklist.pl - Allows me to see the user list in each channel, giving it the feel of the majority GUI IRC clients.
- screen_away.pl - When I detach from my screen it will then set me to away and save any highlighted messages into the status window so I can easily respond to my people who were talking to me.
- trackbar.pl - Sets a line at the last line that was viewable before I switched channels/windows, that way I can easily find the last place I read and continue from there.
- splitlong.pl - Splits long messages
outside of the custom scripts I use, I also have:
scrollback_lines 100000
autolog = "yes"
autolog_path = "~/.irssi/irclogs/$tag/$0-%m%y.log"
