Colloquy IRC client (FREEWARE)
Filed in: iChat, IM, and IRC Add comments
Colloquy is a freeware Mac OS X IRC client. As far as I know (and please someone correct me if I’m wrong) one of the few tools the Mac doesn’t come with is a built-in IRC client. Colloquy stunned me when I first ran it — it has an elegant, intuitive design. I used the word pretty, but with the fuschia globe, I think the word beautiful is more apt. Functionality-wise, it has the basic IRC features covered and adds the ability for plugins (”extras” they call them on the main menu). I’m not a heavy IRC user, though I do have my own IRC server, so feel free to stop on by and say hello after you download. My nick is TDmacosx on irc.scriptschool.com #blogevent

Totally loving this IRC Client. Recently turned my back on too many XP BSOD, and the main thing this client is missing, is BLOWFISH encryption. If anyone has any ideas how to implement or a website with such a thing on it, gimme a holla

I created a plugin for Colloquy that allows Blowfish encryption & decryption:

It’s compiled for PPC, but if you have an Intel Mac, you’d only need to install XCode and re-compile the included .c to have a working Blowfish plugin for your Colloquy.
