     @mvdan I'd say a combination of both irssi and bitlbee is pretty awesome.

     How would they complete each other? I thought they were about the same.

     @mvdan #irssi is an #irc cleint | #bitlbee is an #im addon to an irc client | therefore #completesolution

     @mvdan also note #bitlbee doesn't just work with #irssi, but other #irc clients like #weechat, #xchat _et al_

     Ah, cool. I thought bitlbee was a client on its own too. Thanks for clearing that up!

     @mvdan Specifically, bitlbee is an IRC server that presents various IM/µblog services via IRC interface (thus not tied to any one client).

     @reality you don't know what _et al_ means do you?

     I thought et. al. meant something like "among others".

     @r7 I've always seen it used academically referring to e.g. "Dr Fish Basket, Mr Ball Fisher et al" meaning others but theirs primarily

     @r7 when used as opposed to et cetera

     @reality Dr. Fish Basket is a very reputable doctor, why would you tar him with the same brush as those charlatans? :(

     @reality it is an abbreviation of the #latin "et alia" meaning "and others"

     @r7 etcetera means "and other things" incidentally

     @r7 How does it differ from et cetera then? (Not snarking, just curious.)

     @r7 Interesting. Weird that I had the wrong idea about it in my head for so long
