Open Stack

Another well working option that can be easily used:
1) get a Linux system with internet connection (local box, VM in a cloud, whatever floats your boat)
2) install irssi and screen
3) run irssi in a screen

Now you can login (local console, ssh, telnet, mosh .... again pick your preferred) into that linux system attach to the screen and you have your IRC client online all the time even you're not.
