    Mobile Colloquy: Best iPhone IRC Client

    31/10/2009

    By far, one of the best IRC clients I’ve used on the iPhone platform. It also just so happens that I switched from irssi over to Colloquy for IRC in OS X.

    Today I stumbled upon a really awesome side product of running Colloquy on my Mac, especially since it is connected to the same network through which WiFi is supplied to the rest of the house.

    *drum roll please…*…. inbuilt BNC, or what most people know as ‘IRC Proxies’. Simply connect to your Mac’s IP address (best to keep a static IP on your server anyway, and I’ve done this for my Mac Pro), enter the BNC username and password and you can instantly access all the networks and channels your Mac is connected to, seamlessly, in real time.

    Responding via the iPhone gives you the same nick as that on your Mac, and as far are people in the channels are concerned – you are one and the same entity. That is essentially the purpose of BNC.

    One could also setup a DynDNS (if you have a dynamic IP assigned by your ISP) to allow you to connect over 3G and still access your BNC when on the move. Right now, I’m going to use this to track IRC while I’m in different parts of the house.
