Hey, so I made a very simple logger at http://fahhem.com/ldlinux/irclog/
It should update to a new file each day at midnight (PST) and old days will be available at http://fahhem.com/ldlinux/irclog/irc/
Have fun reading the BS. (btw, I didn't include channel messages, so I doubt a change of subject will be logged. If anyone wants to donate the code to filter through the channel messages for useful ones, my email's on the page).
Well, since it seems that
Well, since it seems that nobody is against and you already share you log, I'll share mine to.
