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
underscreen
(so you can detach/reattach easily) on a machine which you can keep always connected (e.g. a server).
