Today I found WeeChat which seems to be a nice alternative to
Irssi.

Why using weechat and not irssi? (from the FAQ)
- many GUI (Curses, Gtk, wxWidgets, Qt)
- nicklist available in all GUI
- extensible with scripts (Perl, Python, Ruby)
- horizontal and vertical window split
- infobar highlight
- FIFO pipe for remote control
- developed from scratch (not based on any other IRC client)
- multi-platform
- 100% GPL and free

The look and feel is very similar to irssi but weechat is written from scratch and the source code
only has got half of the lines of code irssi has. Thats one of the big arguments for me!

Yeah, I got it.
Yesterday I got my enrollment approval for the university.
On 1. of October I will start to study computer science at the "Technische Universtität" in Berlin.
Hopefully it was the right choice
