(BTW, how do you log a session?)
Well, you could always use mirc via this fine piece of software called Wine, that can do logging :D Last time I checked mIRC worked perfectly too (though i didn't use it for long).
Or you could use a real IRC client, like irssi (/autolog). This does of course assume you are present for the entire meeting. Setting up a bot is probably too much effort though.
I am there now, but I will not have too much time to chat until the regular meeting starts.
