random Posted April 24, 2011 I hope everyone will go in for a look, at the very least if only to meet ethnobot He knows all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted April 24, 2011 well i worked it out, god knows how but i did. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vual Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Ethnobot knows all, doing some mods to this "information bot" hopefully i will have it reporting new posts from the corroboree to the irc channel by tonight. The old ethnobot was just a slap together basic python script, since the other day i have found a open source bot engine written in python, very powerful. Current commands are: .wik blah (to search Wikipedia) .ety blah (to get the etymology of a word) .dict (to get a dictionary reading of the word) .taunt (random taunts, rather amusing at times) .c ### + ##### (calculate) Working on: .trivia (a ethno based trivia game, i might even donate prizes if we get alot of people hanging out) .sab A function to read from the corrobores RSS feeds maybe and post new topics on the irc chan. If you know python come into irc and help me, otherwise come on in and have a chat. cya there, Edited April 24, 2011 by vual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheather Posted April 24, 2011 Make a point based trivia contest. The bot tallies based on account, and trivia revolves around plants and the ethno rather than pointless drivel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

incognito Posted April 24, 2011 buggered if i can get get back in there. i needed sina to hold my hand allthe way until i was in there. then we used to bitch at each other like fiends. HOPEFULLY weve grown up a little until then. Hope bacc is still hanging in there. Not a cooler, friendlier guy on the planet. Samoans are so adorable. Much love to the labers xxxo. p.s that is lovely passive, but knowing that those words where typed by the ower of the most rancid gouch that has ever graced my top lip, well it makes the pant insult slide of the proverbial ducks back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderIdeal Posted May 15, 2011 30 day trial http://download.cnet.com/windows/3055-2150_4-10001733.html?tag=pdl-redir 'ausnet' isn't in my list of servers. only austnet and austchat, which i guess refers to austria how do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) You could try either of those ^ ^ ^ Thunderldeal. I think as long as you join #thelab, you will get in,??? There is usually someone on in #thelab in the evening, it gets a little crazy sometimes, but thats half the fun hey. Edited May 15, 2011 by Amazonian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted May 15, 2011 it's fucking weird, these days i usually just view new posts, i don't navigate the sub-forums, and sometimes i just don't see a topic, like this one. it only appeared today after dworx's post and i thought both these pages sprang up overnight. so i guess the idea of this brand new room full of excited chatters was an illusion. i forget how it came about but we did something similar about a year ago, most participation was by about ten people, and there was often 3-5 people online.

ThunderIdeal Posted May 15, 2011 btw interest seemed to wain after maybe a month or two, i don't know how protracted it's death was but i assume not very. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dworx Posted May 15, 2011 I bet it is still the same Thunder thanks for the link which IRC client did you download??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted May 15, 2011 the link is for mirc as i use windows. the trial seems to shut down if you're inactive which is annoying when you're trying to wait in an empty room. in the past i used a cracked version which i'm sure could be attained from many torrent trackers.

Yeti101 Posted May 15, 2011 I think that there did used to be more participants, but work & life take their toll on these things. I'll try to remember to look in on the chat when here - will have to run into someone eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted May 15, 2011 ok i think ya have to be sure and double click the austnet folder, and then select 'random AU server', because after doing that i can now see chanop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
