ERC IRC

It's very simple to get started with ERC; just do the following:

  1. Optional: Sign up at freenode.net to claim your nickname.
  2. M-x
  3. erc (and accept default for the first couple of items)
  4. /join #chromium

You may notice the following problems:

  • It‘s hard to notice when you’re mentioned.
  • ERC does not have built-in accidental paste prevention, so you might accidentally paste multiple lines of text into the IRC channel.

You can modify the following and add it to your .emacs file to fix both of the above. Note that you'll need to install and configure sendxmpp for the mention hack, which also requires you to create an account for your “robot” on e.g. jabber.org:

(require 'erc)
