I have recently sarted using IRC, and I have chosen WeeChat as my client. This is a quick start guide for using WeeChat: 

 * Install WeeChat: 
 <pre> 
 sudo pacman -S weechat 
 </pre> 

 * Launch weechat: 
 <pre> 
 weechat 
 </pre> 

 * Set the default username: 
 <pre> 
 /set irc.server_default.nicks "JoeSchmoe" 
 </pre> 

 * Show all of the IRC parameters: 
 <pre> 
 /set irc.* 
 </pre> 

 * Create a server connection profile called *geekshed* to @irc.geekshed.net@ on port @6667@: 
 <pre> 
 /server /set server add geekshed irc.geekshed.net/6667 
 </pre> 

 * Connect to the geekshed profile 
 <pre> 
 /connect geekshed 
 </pre> 

 * Join a channel: 
 <pre> 
 /join #somerandomchannel 
 </pre> 

 * Display help: 
 <pre> 
 /help 
 </pre>
