17:01.05RockerMONOhm...no url-announcing bots? :(
17:01.12troubled?
17:01.37RockerMONOtroubled: if you give that url to those bots that announce page titles, alot of them say "i.broke.the.duckinator.net - and it hurt" :P
17:01.57troubledah
17:02.07RockerMONOmeh, i got a new domain and got bored - what can i say? ^^
17:02.11troubledwe had one bot in here that did that at some point from njan
17:02.31RockerMONOthe only bot i've found that comes even close to saying it how i'd hoped is mine :P
17:02.37troubled:)

17:02.47Gable"And it hurt!"
17:03.17troubledpersonally I am not a big fan of allowing any joe blow to cause a bot to hit a url
17:03.28troubledsomething about it just doesnt feel smart
17:03.53RockerMONOtroubled: yea that's why Gable is normally only in one channel
17:04.10RockerMONOGable: you retard >.>
17:04.13RockerMONOGable: part #botpark *POOF*
17:04.14*** part/#botpark Gable (n=Gable@unaffiliated/rockermono/bot/xando)
17:05.24troubledI remember once we had one guy in a channel that keep hitting url's like that on mention, so we sent him to some whitehouse.gov url with the path being a sentence /in/this/form.html, but used it to speak to the white house security team hehe
17:05.49RockerMONOlol
17:05.51troubledimagine if we would have threatened the presidents life in the form of an invalid url! They would have kicked the poor guys door down
17:06.19troubledwhat if he was sitting on the couch, cleaning his gun as it happened!
17:06.26troubledwhat if he was cleaning a gun!!!!
17:06.35troubledhehe
17:06.40RockerMONOhaha
17:06.58troubledanyways, nice feature in theory, but dumb by design without restrictive url fetches imho
17:07.18RockerMONOyea
17:08.38troubledheck, what if some jerk decided to feed your bot illegal pr0n urls for a few hours while you are asleep? How would you explain the squad of police cars that show up to arrest you to your neighboors heh
17:08.48troubled"It wasn't me! It was the bot I tell you!"
17:09.43troublednow, if you made it only do something handy like parse out tinyurl.com addresses and display the expanded url's to the channel, that would be cool
17:10.21troubledpretty sure there are alot of people that would love to know what those things expand to before that click them. but you might have issues with size limits on longer GET urls
17:10.45RockerMONOtroubled: well tinyurl has a preview thing
17:11.12troubledya, but would you want to have to do that for every url, or just wait 5 seconds for the bot to do it for the channel and spit it out
17:11.28RockerMONO<PROTECTED>
17:11.28RockerMONOhas a length of 21 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 25 characters:

17:23.23troubledso you pretty good with php and bots then?
17:23.32RockerMONOyea
17:23.44RockerMONOand Ruby ^^
17:24.43troubledI know someone thats been looking for a better way to manage their web sites with some sort of unified web interface. I bet you could do up something pretty nice if you know some sql for stuff like laconica, drupal, wordpress, irc and maybe a few other technologies
17:25.28RockerMONOyea
17:29.22troubledhe is currently experimenting with different ways to keep his show notes, but I think that a bot and web front end is probably a more versatile way of doing it
17:29.42troubledright now, he has other people maintaining a wiki, but that seems a little hackish imho
17:30.11troubledI think if you had a channel bot that could accept say: "!this is a show note desc. and url: http://........"
17:30.45troubledand provide a web url, and then connect directly to the mysql db for wikimedia and insert it manually, it could be alot easier
17:32.18troubledlaconica administration was a problem at some point as well, but not I think he has a laconica dev that helps him out with that. The main issue with laconica though is that it was lacking any decent admin interface last time I tried it
17:32.42troubledso when someone spams a gazillion posts, they have to manually sql to erase it all. kinda a pita
