Introducing... JMWBot (the alter-ego of johnmark)

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  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" [2,3].

* I <3 puppet-gluster [4], 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 :(

NOTES:

The original announcement of JMWBot first apeared here:

http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2013-December/038329.html

After johnmark kept asking, and after I got over a cold, I've now published it:

https://github.com/purpleidea/jmwbot

Keep in mind that I didn't write this to be extensible, it was meant as a hack!

If you plan on adding features, you'll want to refactor some of the code first!

Well, enjoy and Happy hacking!

Cheers,

James
