I feel like I just discovered the Coelacanth isn't actually extinct. I initially assumed either:

1) I misread the name of something that merely looked like irssi, or 2) there was a new project names irssi that unfortunately used a name of a much older project.

There was a several year period of my life where the vast majority of my online communication took place inside irssi. And that time was not particularly recent!

Congrats to the team, awesome to see it still going.

Nah, that's when you hear BitchX has done a new release.


Gosh, BitchX. Now there's something I have fond memories of. I wonder where panasync is now?


He's into computer-aided manufacturing these days.


That's funny because recently I switched exclusively to irssi for personal IM stuff, as pretty much anyone I needed to IM outside of work were on IRC. It was kind of like coming home after traveling for a long time! Heck, I've even started using Gnus to read my email again. I don't know what's gotten into me. ;)
