IRC on OS X

If you use an IRC client on OS X, and you think it's good, could you please let me know which one it is? I've tried all of the ones I could find and they all seem to suck. Thanks.

I couldn't get BitchX running because it was looking for libncurses and I didn't have time to hunt that down and get it installed.

Update: My solution is X-Chat running in X11 for Mac OS X.

First Nations group wants to buy Corel Centre

Ottawa Sun: First Nations group ready with assist

'Peter Leech, president of the Halaw Management Group told the Sun last night he has held talks with Bryden about the possibility of purchasing the Corel Centre and turning the land into an "urban reserve."

Under the plan, which would need the blessing of federal, provincial and local governments to be successful, Leech's group wouldn't have to pay tax for the building because of its Native status.'

I haven't mentioned it here yet, but the Ottawa Senators NHL team is in a deep financial crisis. Their refinancing plan stalled on December 31st and they're unable to pay their players right now. It's believed they'll file for bankrupcy protection as early as today.

Media for MetaWeblog API

Dave Winer: RFC: metaWeblog.newMediaObject

I hope this, or whatever this morphs into with discussion, gets implemented widely, and especially in Conversant, because it can definitely improve the potential user experience for weblogging app users.
