This turns on irssi logging, and setting the paths like this with the variables means that the irssi will save all the logs for a certain channel or PMs in a different file each day. Different formatting for the path can be constructed for example <code>"~/irclogs/$tag/$0/%Y-%m-%d.log"</code>.

	What this part does is when you start irssi, it sends a priavte message to ~~chanserv~~ identifying you as you (if you've registered your nickname) and the bit underneath will automatically join you to the channels listed, namely #lobby and #mychannel. You can add as many channels as you want to this list, just copy and paste the same lines and edit the "#channel" bit. Simple really. This saves time and hassle if Redbrick ever restarts or you lose your connection for whatever reason as you don't have to remember all the channels you want to join.

			== Some Other Handy Commands ==

			To join the channel, #intersocs, type
			/j #intersocs

			To leave the channel, #intersocs, without entirely quitting chat, type
			/part #intersocs

			To close a window you're not using anymore, type
			/wc

			To find out who someone is, for example, haus, type
			/whois haus

			To see the list of all the channels on the network, type
			/list

			Or if you're looking for a channel but can't remember the exact name, but you know it contains "inter", type
			/list inter

			Wanna see if someone mentions you (or something you're interested in, eg: helpdesk), type
			/hilight helpdesk
			Now whenever helpdesk is mentioned it'll highlight you

			Say you're going to a lecture, but you don't want to have to scroll back up and see if someone hilighted you when you weren't looking, you set irssi to /away with a message, to do this type
			/away gone to my lecture, back soon.
			When you come back type just /away and you'll see any hilights you might've picked up between you going and coming back.

			If you're lazy (like me), you can find loads of uses for the /alias command.
			Example:
			I like having the same away message all the time, and it's a bit long, so I made it into an /alias command by typing
			/alias awaymsg /away haus is off in the real world if you need to talk to him you can reach him on <phone_num>
			Now instead of typing the away message out everytime I can just type /awaymsg instead.
			It's also really handy for typos, like when I'm typing /me sometimes i end up typing /mw and then irssi tells me it's not a command, which can get really annoying. To fix it just type:
			/alias mw /me
			Now when you typo it doesn't matter \o/
