In my option, irssi is the best irc-client ever created. It is lightweight, well customizable and stable. With screen you can keep your irssi online 24/7, and then you can connect to your client from any machine that has Internet connection. My best uptime with irssi is about 60 days, so it is pretty stable. (Reboot killed my irssi)

But here is list why irssi is the best irc-client:

• Fast and lightweight – works on almost any machine
• Console application (no gui) – you can ssh to it and irc without X-server running
• No mouse – I simply love this, I don’t have to move my hands away from the keyboard!
• Customizable – Almost everything can be changed. And there is also nice perl scripting support. (look at script directory)
• Logging – Good logging that even supports log-rotation
• Themes – Lots of cool themes.
• Proxy – You can load irssi-proxy module and connect to your irssi with any irc-client. I think that this is also the best proxy software.

For me it is essential application. I simply can’t live without it.

This blog haven’t been for a long time on the internet, but there is already 18 comments. (and 2 spams) But nobody have a cool Gravatar! On Wordpress, there is build in support for Gravatars.

Idea of Gravatar is simple. When you have created a account to Gravatar, you can upload your avatar. When you post a comment blogs, your Gravatar is automatically placed by your comment. You don’t have to register to every website to get a avatar, Gravatar finds your avatar with your email-address.

With one avatar change you can change all of your avatars easily.

So if you don’t have Gravatar, go get it!

Couple minutes ago I upgraded this blog to latest release. I think that someone should make better way to upgrade Wordpress. I want a Package Manager for Wordpress.

Apt-get like package manager builtin to Wordpress would be awesome. It is already possible to update plugins automatically, but I would also like to install and delete plugins without ftp access.

Package manager should also manage Wordpress core files and upgrade them automatically when new stable release is out.

It is just so boring to upload upgrades via FTP… I would really like to see something like this in future.
