Steve Kemp’s weblog » Blame it on rock and roll
Steve Kemp wrote an irssi script and accompanying utility to show facelets corresponding to IRC users, following an idea earlier mentioned by Lars Wizenius ,less than 5 hours earlier.
Wow, that certainly is a neat thing. There is one problem for me though: My Debian login is “sven”, while my usual IRC nick (oh well, since I’m actually rarely on IRC, speaking of “usual” is perhaps wrong) is “incase”, since the “sven” nick was already taken on both freenode and oftc. Any idea how to work around that?

That was an obvious enhancement I guess!
I’ve updated the code to have a lookup table for aliases and added your example nick/name as a default.
I guess adding more would be simple, but I don’t follow IRC enough to know who to add by default so I’ll just leave it at that unless people want to send me changes.
(For reference I was in the same conversation as Lars, so it wasn’t exactly five hours later. I posted an initial version into the channel at the time, and then later figured using dbus was a better approach
