Pictures found in topics of almost all channels on irc.freenode.net,
some NSFW.

Are there clients that display image links from the subject as the
channel header?

Also,  if this is something you made -  can you please share the code
for this subject image scraper? I'm sure it can easily be a 1 liner
that almost anyone could conjure in a heartbeat but I'm lazy :)

I believe vim's history's lost some of it. But it was just a bunch of
little transformations on
the output of **[my topic scraper](https://github.com/siers/freenode-
list)**, starting with `egrep -Eo 'https?://[^ ]*'` to collect links,
then another regex that assures the link ends with jpg/png/gif.

Then I made filesystem-safe filenames from links and formatted a file
that has `url fsname`in each line and ran: `while read url name; do
wget "$url" -O"$name"; done < download-links`

Then I made a numbered list with topics and named the files with their
number in the list.

Then I put the numbers into the imgur's UI using ruby:

    def c; %x{xdotool key 'ctrl+a' 'ctrl+c'; c -o}.to_i; end
    def b(i); %x{grep -E '^#{ i }\\.' < list}; end
    def a(s); %x{xdotool key Tab ctrl+a Delete}; sleep 0.3; x(s);
sleep 0.3; %x{xdotool key ctrl+v Tab}; end
    def l; %x{herbstclient focus left}; end
    l; 25.times.each { f } # and then I did this.

Holy shit, that very last picture "DON'T FUCK WITH THE ADMINS" I used
to see that all the time years ago.

Welp, found a picture of myself in this album. At least it's not too
embarrassing.
