# '''What is the best way to share long URLs in IRC?'''
#: Use http://tinyurl.com/ and paste the resulting URL into IRC.
# '''IRSSI + Terminal Server:''' Why use the IRSSI client on cs1 you ask? Well because then you don't have to be worried about being connected to IRC at all times. By using the ''screen'' porgram you can create a session in the backround and lunch IRSSI within that session. This way when you logout of telnet or ssh your session is still active and can be accessed later on. (Advantages: '''1. ''' People can leave you messages. '''2. ''' You can catchup on important things that you may have had otherwise missed that happened on IRC.'''
## Obtain an account on cs1 (ask dave).
## Use a ssh or telnet client to connect to cs1. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuTTY PuTTY (Windows)]. If you use linux or any unix based operating system you probably know what to do.
