How else would you see data?

[Casimo]

Hehe.
I wanted to say: the bot doesn't grab messages sent by KVIRC or another client.
So you can only read with the widget what someone has sent with the widget.

Huh, that's odd...

I had a blackout at home on Monday morning, my UPS did its job and my computer was properly turned off but when I turned it back on my system drive's file system was corrupt... It's a problem I'm having with my SSD: if I restart my computer everything is OK but when it's shut down, data have a chance to get corrupted on my SSD... (just like if the power was cut too soon). SSD are not as reliable as regular HD. Keep this in mind.

I had to re-image my computer using last week backup but I couldn't do it until the evening and I ran into an issue with windows Dynamic Disks which are not properly managed by GNU/Linux based imaging technologies so I had to find a workaround... it was quite complicated and annoying.

Today it was my firewall that was preventing the bot from being contacted because my host changed something in their config apparently...

[Forty-Two]

I should have the next version of the bot ready to deliver soon. It runs fine on startup, but I have not tested it online yet.

[naib864]

Test it!!! Maybe this version stay longer in chat.

[2072]

The bot is down again today because I have issues with my computer... it'll be fixed in 6 or 10 hours from now

I've updated the javascript libraries used by the widget (mainly JQuerry and Curl AMD loader). Report here if you notice any issue.

[JosJuice]

While looking at what happened yesterday in the chat, I noticed some oddities from when my IRC client disconnected around 21:00 because my internet connection was down.

18:39:06eqilibriumhi guys, does anyone know where i can get the latest copy of simon lothar's fxremote?

(Please forgive the odd formatting - it looks correct in the chatbox, but it doesn't seem to paste correctly.)

Firstly, the old instance of my client should have timed out between 21:02 and 21:04, which it doesn't do in this log. You can see that I'm able to change my nickname back to JosJuice even though that name would be in use according to the log. Secondly, it says "JosJuice1 has changed his name to JosJuice". Why? It's not gender neutral, and I haven't indicated my gender anywhere.

Well, that's odd. The post just breaks in the middle of the chatlog, and I can't seem to fix it by editing. Since the second half of the post can't be seen, here it is again:

OK, I just made a new IRC bot. It's written in python, and it only has a few commands for now. It's name is fischbot, btw. Type !help in the chat for more info.

That's because log outs/relogs from a user are suppressed from the history when no real message are posted while the user is disconected (this is to prevent spam from users with poor connections that would gradually replace all the messages).

Secondly, it says "JosJuice1 has changed his name to JosJuice". Why? It's not gender neutral, and I haven't indicated my gender anywhere.

This is hard coded in the Java bot' source code. (It's always 'his')

Because we have more male members than female, and because English isn't gender-neutral.
