==Setting up/idiling idling in Weechat tutorial==
# <Optional> Find a linux box, up 24/7, for hosting weechat. Many VTLUUG members use [https://vtluug.org/wiki/Infrastructure:Acidburn acidburn] for this purpose.
# Make sure weechat is installed. This step is done for you on acidburn.
# Launch weechat. (NOTE ON NAVIGATION: You can change "tabs" in weechat by holding alt and pressing left or right arrow, or jump to a buffer by typing it's number while holding alt.
# Type <code>/server add oftc irc.oftc.net</code>
# Type <code>/connect oftc</oftc></code>
# Type <code>/set irc.server.oftc.nicks "mynick,mynick2,mynick3,mynick4,mynick5"</code>. You only need one nickname, but you may put in more than one nick as shown.
# <Optional> Type <code>/set irc.server.oftc.username "My user name"</code> and <code>/set irc.server.oftc.realname "My real name"</code> to set other identifying info.
# <Optional> To connect automatically at startup:<code>/set irc.server.oftc.autoconnect on</code>
# <Optional> To autojoin certain channels, <code>/set irc.server.freenode.autojoin "#channel1,#channel2"</code>
# In order to reduce spam, we require all IRC users to have their nicks registered with NickServ to be able to speak. You can register your chosen nick with
<blockquote><code>/msg nickserv register YourPassword your@email.address.com</code>
and then you must identify on every login with
<code>/msg nickserv identify YourPassword</code>
you can make weechat do this automatically with
<code>/set irc.server.oftc.command "/msg nickserv identify YourPassword"</code></blockquote>
A lot of the content from the above was taken from the (very useful) [https://weechat.org/files/doc/devel/weechat_quickstart.en.html WeeChat quick start guide].
If you're interested in syncing weechat to an Android device, look at [https://github.com/ubergeek42/weechat-android/wiki/Quickstart-Guide click herethis tutorial].
