Now, be aware that this could be a security issue if you let strangers onto your IRC session. They could do some cool shell tricks to break out of this exec command into the raw shell itself, but I’ll forget about that for now. I wanted an alias that would allow me to send a command to my bot to shorten a URL as well as announce the URL into the channel using some good old-fashioned ANSI Color.
/alias fu exec -o perl -e 'print "\#furryurl \${ARGV[0]}\\n"\; print "C4\$ARGV[1]" if(length(\$ARGV[1]))' -- "$0" "$1-"
Note: The C in C4\$ARGV[1] is really a CONTROL-C.
Run this in irssi, and you’ll get some sweet output:
# Upon running /fu http://www.google.com ralree
# The text for 'ralree' is actually colored red on output.
01:59:03 < hardwarehank> #furryurl http://www.google.com
01:59:04 < hardwarehank> ralree
01:59:04 < rufis> hardwarehank: http://www.furryurl.com/hx
I’m so happy!

This is the best idea for an irssi plugin ever.

I love irssi:
/ignore wolfeon
/ignore -regexp -pattern "wolfeon" *
/save
Now, I have wonderful silence. This will prevent me from lashing out again.

Yes! I finally figured out how to set my ignores up in irssi’s config! It’s this easy:
ignores = (
{ mask = "help"; level = "ALL"; },
{ level = "JOINS PARTS QUITS MODES"; channels = ( "&bitlbee" ); }
);
Ah finally – now I just see messages. No more scrolling!

Oh boy! Font coloring in irssi is FUN!

This pretty much covers it. Hope you learned something!
