#----------------------------------------------------------------------[ WHY ]--#
# Because I need to push multiple irc channels to a single display screen so 
# everyone in out office can stay in the loop.  It's also handy to keep an eye 
# on multiple channels for app backend monitoring.  Use it if you like.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------[ HOW ]--# 
# Below, we configure a nick, server, and channels as sources and a file as a 
# destination.  We then tail the output of each channel and reformat it's 
# output for out pool file.  Tailing the pool locally is provided only for 
# monitoring.  The pool is supposed to be further processed by other tools 
# (grep, sed, awk).
#--------------------------------------------------------------------[ USAGE ]--#
# 1. configure this file accordingly.
# 2. usage: ./ii.sh <nick>
# 3. watch.
# *4. maybe do something with the pool output later.
