Yes, it's true. I've been up late hacking on Gluster (and Puppet-Gluster)... While waiting for my code to compile, patch review (*cough*), and for JMW (aka johnmark) to take care of a few todo items, I realized I had never written an IRC bot!! Now I never aspired to be the bot master that JoeJulian is, but I figured I needed this notch on my hacker belt... Therefore, I'd like to introduce: JMWBot. (now with 20% more twisted!) JMWBot is the affectionate alter-ego of johnmark. JMWBot should most likely be found hanging out in #gluster, and waiting for johnmark to talk. If he does, JMWBot will bug johnmark up to once a day [1] to remind him of pending todo items... set by you! To add a public reminder in #gluster for johnmark: JMWBot: @remind bring home some milk To add a private reminder for johnmark: /msg JMWBot @remind bring home some bacon To list items, you can highlight the bot or /msg the bot with the @list command. Only johnmark has the ability to @done <id> items. When your item gets closed, you should get a message if you're on Freenode (and you haven't changed your nick.) FAQ: * Why did you do this? This is a hack, it was written for fun! * Does this really work? Yes, I think so. I tested it briefly. It stores your reminders on disk, so your data should be safe across (currently manual) rejoin's. I don't back up the server often, and all of this is WITHOUT WARRANTY, etc... * Really? Yeah, I think so. Test it out and let me know! * Can this be done for other people/channels than johnmark/#gluster? Yes! Please feel free to run your own bot, code is "open source" [2]. * I <3 puppet-gluster [3], where can I send $$$, resources and praise? /msg purpleidea in #gluster or @purpleidea on irc! Thanks! * Yikes! This code is terrible. Well it's not that bad. But it was meant as a dirty hack. Feel free to send patches or bug reports. * I didn't find this funny/cool/amusing or even stable. Sorry! It was written with good intentions. * THE BOT HAZ MISS BEHAVEDD AND IS TAKING OVER THE CHANNEL AKA W0RLD. I for one, welcome our new IRC overlords. Please /kick it, and let me know how it misbehaved. /ban-ing the bot will make it sad :( Well, enjoy and Happy hacking! Cheers, James https://ttboj.wordpress.com/ @purpleidea (irc / twitter) [1] configurable on request [2] /msg purpleidea please send me JMWBot, ps: i <3 puppet-gluster [3] https://github.com/purpleidea/puppet-gluster
