==Setting up/idiling idling in Weechat tutorial==
Say If you wanted want to idle on get started idling in #VTLUUG using weechat. Just , just do the following:
# <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.
# <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].
