Matthew is leaving the house to move to London:
I wonder why I took a OS/2 Warp box (21 floppy disks + 14 for the bonus pack), a KDE bag and a linux.conf.au 2007 bag…

Notify channels plugin for xchat(-gnome)
The LazyWeb was not that useful but I was able to find a plugin that does what I need. It is listed in the plugins page on xchat.org but for some reasons I didn’t find it the first time I searched.
The notify channels plugin has every basic feature I need, and it’s also simple enough to be modified adding some other useful features I would like to have.
Thanks Vlad!
Update: the plugin doesn’t work anymore, xchat-gnome doesn’t load it even if it’s listed in the gconf key /apps/xchat/plugins/loaded. The plugin is not even listed in the “Scripts and Plugins” tab in the preferences dialog. Suggestions on how to fix this?
xchat-gnome and notifications
Dear LazyWeb,
Is there a way to get a notification pop-up every time someone says something in some IRC rooms? But only in some configured rooms! I don’t want a pop-up for every message in every room as I’m paid to work, not to read IRC.
I’m using xchat-gnome and no, I don’t want to use xchat.

New job
Everyone on Planet GNOME is starting a new job, so now it’s my turn: tomorrow I will move to Cambridge (this Cambridge, not one of the other ones) where I will work for Collabora.
It’s sad to leave so many friends here but I will work on cool technologies like Telepathy, Cambridge is very nice (the office is just in front of King’s college), and everyone at Collabora seems nice.
