If you are into Emacs, there are a few clients that run inside Emacs,
both in GUI/X11 frames and console sessions.

One of the major features of ERC (one of these clients) is that small
customizations and extensions are *very* easy to hack when you know a
bit of Emacs Lisp already.  Here are for example some of the local
customizations I made to my local setup:

http://bitbucket.org/keramida/dot-emacs/src/tip/elisp/keramida-erc.el#cl-116

  A small function that autojoins channels after Freenode's NickServ has
  had a chance to cloak user information.

http://bitbucket.org/keramida/dot-emacs/src/tip/elisp/keramida-erc.el#cl-177
http://bitbucket.org/keramida/dot-emacs/src/tip/elisp/keramida-erc.el#cl-183
http://bitbucket.org/keramida/dot-emacs/src/tip/elisp/keramida-erc.el#cl-189

  Shorthand aliases for /cs -> /chanserv, /ns -> /nickserv and
  /ms -> /memoserv.

There is also a ton of information about ERC and other Emacs-based IRC
clients at the EmacsWiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InternetRelayChat
