An IRC bouncer is a fantastic thing. Once properly configured, bouncers act as servers that allow you to be connected to your favourite irc networks/channels 24/7. The first bouncer I used was irssi proxy on my own network server. It was fantastic because independently of which computer I was sitting at I could continue chatting without disconnecting/reconnecting to the channels. I only had to connect different clients to the bouncer. However keeping a server is expensive and also time-consuming. For some time I used my irc client running inside screen and connected to it over ssh. It worked perfectly fine but attaching and reattaching screen is not very handy if you need to switch from one computer to the other quickly. Searching the web I discovered GeekBouncer, a free online bouncer based on the popular znc. So far it works great. It is easy to set up, to configure and to use. What else can you ask for? ______________________________________________________________________ Gophered by Gophernicus/1.6 on NetBSD/amd64 9.1
