Yeah, I have to find the humor in it, too. If I didn't I'd simply be irritated all the time, and that's just not who I am.
 
Anyhow, I've decided to use the ChatZilla firefox plugin for now.
 
We'll see how it works out. I'm particularly interested to see if it aggresively notifies me of my name being mentioned in a channel by default, since I can't see any option for that. I can set it to "stalk" for SimonAnibal if it doesn't.
 
Incidentally, I'll idle in #BloomingtonLinux on freenode while I participate in more work-related channels. Though, as far as I see it, anything I do to enhance my relationship with the Linux community is work-related, so I guess idling in #BloomingtonLinux is sort of work-related.
 
Hope you're all doing well!
 
Simón
