crutchy> mentioned in the batcave (#) cos that channel seems to be "bot central" around here. i'm not sure what i could say but i'll try come up with something if you want. there's a crapload of stuff in my SN journals about exec, and a table of bot stuff at http://wiki.soylentnews.org/wiki/IRC#Bots too if you're interested. exec also has its own wiki page at http://wiki.soylentnews.org/wiki/IRC:exec
<crutchy> <chromas> maybe something about irc and bots is a cool place to dick around with brogramming and they need to get their butts in here immediately
<crutchy> <crutchy> maybe a short rundown of bot functions that happen
<crutchy> <crutchy>   "there's a bot that tells you the title of a pasted url"
<crutchy> <crutchy> "there's one that will tell you the weather"
<crutchy> <chromas> hehe, all the bots do titles :)
<crutchy> <crutchy> maybe mention that most are on github, and provide linkies
<crutchy> chromas' monopoly/hedonismbot is written in pascal. https://github.com/chromatos/pas
<crutchy> sedbot is an awk script. currently run by chromas, but developed by FoobarBazbot. https://github.com/FoobarBazbot/sedbot
<crutchy> exec is at https://github.com/crutchy-/exec-irc-bot
<crutchy> bender is some kind of python thing. Landon has the source code here: https://github.com/lfowles/jsonbot
<crutchy> there's a couple of eggdrops in the batcave
<crutchy> (ciri and Regurgitator are eggdrops i think)
<crutchy> Loggie is something xlefay set up. it logs any channel it's invited to at http://logs.sylnt.us/
<crutchy> there's a bot in #wiki that lets us know if anything has changed on the SN wiki
<crutchy> Regurgitator (run by juggs) has various rss feeds in #rss-bot
<crutchy>  ^ good for story submission ideas
<crutchy> there are a couple of translators. exec uses google translate and MrPlow (TheMightyBuzzard) has a klingon translator
<crutchy> aqu4 is an awesome bot that does various things. Subsentient has written it from scratch in C
<crutchy>  ^ including chucking rotten burritos
<crutchy> Konomi isn't around any more (she's still in #boxedfox on freenode though). she has been working on a perl bot
<crutchy> i think TheMightyBuzzard has 2 perl bots on the go; MrPlow and TheMightyBot.
<crutchy> xlefay was a huge inspiration for all the bot activity in Soylent IRC
<crutchy> there's also stuff being developed all the time. http://wiki.soylentnews.org/wiki/IRCiv is something i've been muddling about with for a while
<crutchy> mattie_p was also working on a mud that was connected to soylent irc at one point
<crutchy> diego (juggs) has a stats diagram thingy. http://stats.sylnt.us/social/soylent/
<crutchy> arti also has a stats thingy at http://antiartificial.com/stats/soylent/soylentnews.html
<crutchy> ooh. there's also a SoylentNews comment feed in #comments and a github feed in #github. i've also added github feeds for the various slashcode repos in #dev
<crutchy> tama (hosted by arti) is the 'yo mama' bot that resides in the batcave (#). it  is a bucket bot
<crutchy> https://github.com/zigdon/xkcd-Bucket
<crutchy> sorry i dunno if any of this is coherent or useful.
