Alice

We have an in-house IRC-to-web thing now, called Alice. Find Alice here: http://alice.sshchicago.org:9000/

More information about it, including how to get an account, is on its wiki page.

Etiquette

Don't be a jerk. Keep the chat and links mostly work-safe, many of us chat from our offices.

Staying On Topic

... is not necessary. This is IRC, after all. Chat away about whatever.

Bots

Oscarbot

Oscarbot.jpg

Oscarbot is a Limnoria IRC bot that does usual boring IRC-botly duties like tracking when people come and go (oscarbot: seen minivanmegafun), searching for cat videos (oscarbot: google cat videos) and logging activity in the channel.

  • For help, say "oscarbot: help".
  • To list all installed plugins, do "oscarbot: list".
  • All plugins have multiple commands, say "oscarbot: list <pluginname>" to view them.
  • For help on a command, say "oscarbot: help <commandname>".

Oscarbot also announces changes made to the ssh:c wiki as soon as they are committed; and spews random Markov-chain phrases.

Baileybot

Baileybot is a smeggdrop-powered, Tcl-programmable bot.

< agocs> How often do you take a shower and think "This would be improved by top 40s crap"
< agocs> or "Maybe I can relax to the sound of NPR's pledge drive!"
< agocs> "Fresh Air, lol, more like Fresh Water"
< agocs> "Eeew, that dirt coming off of me is Terry Gross"
