Simple and stupid Node.js IRC client

This is mainly an attempt to mess with CoffeeScript. Start the server with:

coffee chatbot.coffee 1234 #somechannel

It's a very simple client, that connects to freenode, and will join a channel that you specify (#somechannel). Browsing to your address at the port you specified (1234) will give you a chat interface to interact with.
