So once you've installed it, M-x erc-select RET irc.freenode.org RET marcin RET RET wait for the connection, then in the irc.freenode.org buffer, /join #emacs RET and start to chat. You can customize erc to store the default irc server, nickname, password, and a list of channels you'd want to join automatically.
