Alert Tricks 
jedi.org —
You may use PuTTY to ssh to a remote host, then connect to IRC server via irssi, and keep it alive by using screen, just like me. But I think that less people will resize their PuTTY window into 128 x 14 and keep it on top of desktop (but I do). For those who will switch PuTTY to background, they may like to hear a alert sound when some keywords (e.g., their own ID) appeared on IRC channel.
