While I really like this old-school text mode irc client, I do miss some of the nice features from Colloquy such as sounds and growl popups when highlighted.
I wanted to write an Irssi plugin that talks directly with Growl on my laptop - but their protocol is UDP and not easy to tunnel through firewalls with ssh. So I wrote a Jabber notifier plugin in Perl that lets Irssi talk to my Adium which supports sounds and Growl notifications.
Feel free to download and use it in your Irssi - You are running Irssi, aren’t you ?
