Well yeah, web-based IRC works but I'd like to avoid it since I monitor
so many channels and have accounts on four IRC networks. I'd be a pain
to spend a whole two minutes logging into everything.

I've read about ezbounce, but I'd need a computer between my own and
the IRC server to use it, right? Or could I host it locally for the
same effect?
