irc from cell phone

[lucy]

not that i need to, but i want to be able to irc from my new cell phone if its possible.

the first time i got the wrong phone, it didn't even have java support and they said it did, so i took it back!
i think i got the wrong phone again. nokia 3595. it doesn't seem to have socket support.
before i take it back and exchange it, any ideas from anyone?
about client to use, and what phones it works on etc

like, i was reading about irssi. and one of my shell accounts has that installed, but i think i'll have to get them to install the mobile plugin, because i tried installing it in my directory and got error messages. so maybe he'll have to install it where he installed the rest of it.

i tried virca, and it wont work, i get the socket error.

oh, one more thing!! i noticed a website or 2 that you can connect to from your phone, and irc that way, but they dont go to efnet (
i think one i looked at was fusionchat.. dont remember exactly
anyone know of one for efnet? that would actually be the best and easiest i think

i think that would be a great project for someone... that knows what they're doing, unlike me

ircing from the cell would be perfect

I have the nokia 6800 and can use Virca if needed.. Not the easiest way to chat.. I just use it to check up on the server. I know some other people that get on irc via the cell phones by using putty and going into a shell..

this setup will allow allow any xml-enabled browser to get online (no java required, only the ability to view a webpage).

follow the below instructions to install thttpd+php+ircg, run and configure with the ircg-php scripts in the root. the only downside to this is that all visitors to your ircg-php page will logon to irc via your webservers ip, so keep it firewalled or password protected.

1. Install SGI's State Threads Library

http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/

(Just copy st.h to /usr/include and libst.* to /usr/lib)

2. Install the event-based IRC Gateway Library

http://schumann.cx/ircg/

3. Download and extract thttpd 2.21b

http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/thttpd-2.21b.tar.gz

4. Install PHP into thttpd

$ ./configure [..] \
--with-thttpd=../thttpd-2.xx \
--with-ircg=/prefix/of/ircg

$ make install

5. Patch thttpd to add State Thread support

$ cd thttpd-2.xx
$ patch -p1 < ../IRCG-x.x/patch_thttpd

IMPORTANT: The process will throw a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS if you
forget to apply this patch.

6. Configure and install thttpd

One alternative is to go for a phone for which the putty SSH client has been ported, and use that to connect with unix machines (like one would through a regular shell). You'll want a phone with a recent spec screen and keyboard for that, though, such as the Nokia 9200 series (and even on that, the resolution is limited to something which looks like 40x20).

It works in practice, in any case.

And I thought I was bad for taking my laptop into the bathroom with me. My girlfriend just sighs and shakes her head.

DAMN. the day after i posted this my power went out! well not just mine but 306,000+ homes in memphis were without power. so i couldn't even go over to my friends houses to use their computers!

oh well, i survived, maybe i dont need to irc on my cell phone after all.
for one thing, alot of the cell phone towers were down too, so i couldn't use the cell phone half the time anyway.

anyway all the cingular stores were closed cause they were powerless too. i was gonna go buy a thing to charge it in my car

its been like really bad here the past few days.
still over 200,000 without power i think.

anyway, i miss yall and i dont think a one of you even noticed i was gone (

I would only irc from my mobile phone if it was absolutely necessary or if I was on the toilet dumping one.

your car has to do with driving to an area where the towers aren't offline due to power outage
