Introduction: Hacks #95-100
If
you're testing out your earlier hacks, you may find
it convenient to perform the tests locally, using your own IRC
server. Setting up your own IRC server gives you ultimate power over
how it behaves, and you can even let other people connect to it from
the Internet.If you already have a server up and running, you may find it useful
to add Services to it. This lets you add
NickServ and ChanServ features to your network, which are welcomed by
users who wish to protect their nicknames and stop other people from
stealing them.If you want to expand your IRC network, you can also find out how to
link two IRC servers together. This is the secret to the success of
IRC, with several servers connected to form a network, providing
greater resilience and the ability to allow more users to connect.As you near the end of this book, you may be getting accustomed to
the look-and-feel of IRC. If you really like it, you can find out how
to set up the unique BitlBee program to combine
all of your MSN, ICQ, and AIM contacts into an interface that is
transparently presented as a single IRC channel. The final hack in
this book then shows you a neat way of combining BitlBee with the IRC
proxy described in Chapter 14.
