Because the URL monitoring trigger I mentioned earlier was not enough for my needs, I wrote a more flexible URL monitoring script: urlwatch. It looks for URLs (custom pattern), checks them for exclude targets (networks, channels, or nicks can be excluded), exclude patterns (a regular expression of URLs to ignore), highlights the ones matching custom targets or patterns, and prints (format customizable) the result in the status window.
This script also works out-of-box without configuring, just running it is enough.
Available as part of the scripts project, in irssi/urlwatch.pl. You can either download the whole tree or only the script (tree -> irssi/ -> urlwatch.pl blob).

I’ve released another small project. This time a statistics generator for IRC, written in Perl under GPLv2. This release comes only four years late (but hey, I finally got around to ticking off this release from my todo list). It only understands irssi logs. And is partly broken & unfinished, too.
The idea was to be similar to pisg – but much more detailed with personal stats for each and every nick. In other words, statistics, statistics, and more statistics – which is the whole point with IRC statistics generators (duh).

And an example output for a channel.
This one is only available via ViewGit @ code.fealdia.org:
Note that I’m not exactly sure where the spring embedder algorithm is from. It’s ripped from my “scripts” project’s snet.pl, which in turn suffers from similar “no clue of source” problem. If you know, enlighten me :-}

Some people have expressed interest in my irssi configuration, more specifically, the list of URLs that pour into my status window. Read on to learn how, but be warned that this is a serious time sink…

tips irssi, tips
After trying to submit some of my irssi scripts to scripts.irssi.org for months, I figured it would be a good idea to have a public scripts repository run by users, for the users (as it seems the people running irssi.org are busy or don’t care). Maybe it’s just me, but at least the Freenode irssi community seems quite dead. I posted this on the IRC channel:
*** ANNOUNCEMENT *** I’ve started a public git repo for user-submitted and -reviewed scripts at http://repo.or.cz/w/irssi-scripts.git – currently containing only a few scripts of mine, but if anyone has had no luck with scripts.irssi.org and wants to hop on the wagon, /msg me
