I really like it and can appreciate the technical aspect but I was really hoping for a web enabled IRC client that didn't require me to connect over port 6667.

I would use a web enabled IRC client every day. Crap, maybe you just gave me an idea for my next project.

http://www.mibbit.com/ does this.

But when I last tried it I couldn't get onto Freenode and my guess is that their IPs are blocked on a lot of networks.

Yeah, Freenode isn't listed. I guess a service like this could allow spammers to have a field day.
