Prelude ERC Quickstart

Customizing Server list

If you want to join a list of servers on M-x start-irc, other than the default list, please redefine the variable my-fav-irc as follows in your personal config

(setq my-fav-irc '( "irc.freenode.net"
                    "irc.oftc.net"
                    "irc.mozilla.org"
                    "irc.gnome.org"))

Customizing Last Quit Message

If you want to customize your IRC Last Quit Message from Asta la vista to something more funkier, please redefine bye-irc-message as follows

(setq bye-erc-message "adios")

Reading NickServ passwords from auth-source plugin

(setq erc-prompt-for-password nil)
