View log of what happened in IRC while I was offline

irclogging

I'm an infrequent user of IRC, currently using Irssi on Ubuntu 12.04, and I follow a channel with activity that is about as infrequent as my own use – but not necessarily with activity at the same time as when I'm there.

Is there a way for me to view a log of what's happened since I was last online (or a log of the last n things that happened)?

Best Answer

If you aren't connected to the server, there isn't much you can do.

What you could do is run irssi under screen (so you can detach/reattach easily) on a machine which you can keep always connected (e.g. a server).
