One thing about that "helpful" link -- it uses chat.freenode.net as
the server, which is located in Sweden.

I'd recommend changing the link to something closer to you.  From the
following list,

          http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml

I found zelazny in Oregon to be closest, so I changed
'chat.freenode.net' in the URL to 'zelazny.freenode.net' like so:

     http://embed.mibbit.com/?server=zelazny.freenode.net&channel=%23moin
