I'm IRC'd

I want to chat from work. They block port 6667.

After a little research, the obvious options:
  1. proprietary redirection software, e.g., hopster.
  2. running CGI::IRC or something similar on my PC at home and leaving it running.
I'm guessing the presence of hopster on my workstation would set off multiple alarms here. And I doubt Kristi would be terribly sympathetic to my desire to leave the PC on all day so that I can use IRC from work. For a pagan, she's got a severe dose of puritan work ethic. The fact that the admin chat room is usually dead quiet anyway isn't likely to impress her.

Sigh.
