The problem is that I typically have an IRC client running on my
desktop, and on my laptop in the living room, and sometimes on my
phone, and maybe open up a web client if I need to get on a technical
channel at work. This beats having john, john|laptop, john|phone,
john|work.
Plus, when I'm bored on the road or whatever, this allows me to open
up my Android IRC client, connect, and get the last hour's backlog so
I know what's going on.
Nickserv prevents other people from stealing your nickname. An IRC
bouncer allows you to maintain one continual presence online; I've set
up Miau to authenticate with Nickserv at startup.
