00:19:34 <Ampera> well I increased the polling time, apparently twitter limits polling to once a minute or so
00:21:31 <Ampera> it might be because I'm actually retrieving 20 tweets per poll, because of a stupid reason

00:34:26 <cynthia> hello :)
00:34:26 <EEVBlog> Hello there, cynthia!
00:39:33 <ServalSpots> No denying that's impressive work
00:39:47 <ServalSpots> It's a rare bot that can make Autodave look good
00:40:38 <cynthia> Autodave is a great name for a bot, except that it reminds me of Autodesk :/
00:40:51 <coppice_> don't be so cynthiacal, cynical, whatever
00:41:06 <cynthia> lol
00:41:43 <cynthia> probably because I spent about 2h yesterday trying to recover autocad 9.0 from 5.25" floppy disks
00:42:02 <Ampera> You insulting my bot, ServalSpots?
00:42:34 <coppice_> I have some old material I want to recover, and its on 5.25" disks, while I lack a 5.25" drive that still functions
00:43:08 <cynthia> coppice_: I just did it because I was bored, I was not even alive when they were relevant :p
00:43:10 <Ampera> Then you will need a 5.25" drive, or someone who has one.
00:43:51 <coppice_> Ampera: brilliant. I hadn't thought of that
00:43:54 <cynthia> Ampera: what language is your bot written in?
00:44:00 <cynthia> please don't say JavaScript
00:44:07 <Ampera> English.
00:44:17 <cynthia> ...
00:44:26 <cynthia> programming language* :P
00:44:27 <Ampera> you asked...
00:44:33 <Ampera> Java
00:44:41 <Ampera> who would write an IRC bot in JavaScript?
00:44:52 <cynthia> not sure
00:45:00 <cynthia> but people seem to be using JS for everything
00:45:06 <T3sl4> i suppose you could; you can do IRC connections and all that
00:45:11 <Ampera> I wanted to use C, but libircclient is shit, and it was the only ready to go IRC lib I could find for C
00:45:30 <cynthia> if you don't need TLS, then the IRC protocol is extremely easy
00:45:38 <cynthia> I have chatted with raw tcp sockets once
00:45:52 <Ampera> yes, but I can't be fucked
00:46:21 <Ampera> if I did that, I wouldn't now have the bot, which is sort of the point
00:46:29 <cynthia> true :p
00:47:57 <Ampera> did you just join off the forum?
00:52:49 <ServalSpots> Ampera: he started it!

03:18:28 <MrMobodies1> oh sorry 200 "incredibly talented" people

04:17:06 <MrMobodies> What other bots are in this channel?
04:17:32 <MrMobodies> Chanop, Servspots?
04:21:04 <coppice_> I wonder how many people were working on Project Titan? 201, maybe?
04:31:27 <MrMobodies> Is that some kind of joke?
04:32:05 <coppice_> no. I genuinely wonder
04:32:09 <MrMobodies> Two bots I see in the channel, one built for the channel.
04:32:10 <MrMobodies> ah
04:32:56 <MrMobodies> https://www.ft.com/content/b74c1aa6-1fe0-11e9-b126-46fc3ad87c65
04:33:05 <MrMobodies> I see: more than 200 people.
04:34:01 <MrMobodies> The "more than" or "up to" excuse to massage the figures.
04:36:31 <MrMobodies> I know the "Up to" excuse was BT's favourite one when I was on the phone to them in the past.
04:36:43 <coppice_> It seems like the extreme profits from the iphone have funded a number of projects apple's management lacked the commitment to really see through
04:37:23 <MrMobodies> and they don't want people fixing their stuff.
04:37:38 <MrMobodies> which is why I wouldn't myself buy apple stuff.
04:39:15 <MrMobodies> Here's a joke: If they get rid of anymore it will be a driverless project... wait it may already be one now.
04:41:17 <coppice_> maybe the project lacked direction
04:41:31 <coppice_> or someone was trying to drive it over a cliff
04:41:43 <coppice_> if so, someone had to put the brakes on

13:24:54 <DHess_US> In my experience ISP modems are less reliable than a PC router.
13:25:04 <DHess_US> Especially if that ISP modem operates as a router.
13:25:42 <Ampera> Indeed, when my grandfather moved house recently, I instructed him to buy his own modem.

15:09:36 <Ampera> Fixed!
15:10:08 <MrMobodies> wonderful
15:10:40 <Ampera> but no, the best we can gather, that news is not true.
15:10:46 <Ampera> the source is very unreliable, and unfounded
15:12:33 <MrMobodies> I see nobody replied in the youtube channel and has very few comments. I can see why they say "Don't feed the troll"
15:13:44 <ServalSpots> I knew vaguely of the visa thing, but was unaware he was having it quite so rough. Nonsense of this claim aside, I hope he's generally alright
15:14:36 <MrMobodies> I mean on "Robbie Music's channel"
15:14:52 <MrMobodies> I like Photonic's videos
15:15:08 <MrMobodies> and the one where he threw the brick in the washing machine
15:15:15 <MrMobodies> and it went bezerk and fell apart
15:16:10 <MrMobodies> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vROdVsU_K80
15:16:44 <MrMobodies> I find that funny at the ending bit
15:18:00 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/07H8wY2.mp4
15:18:54 <MrMobodies> I remembered something years ago from a comment "He put his wife or girlfriend on a variac until she couldn't cope anymore and..."
15:22:14 <MrMobodies> That was the one I think left him and he found someone else they wouldn't give a visa too despite studying on the video he took down but I see backup posted in that thread.
15:25:05 <MrMobodies> Can you make bot announce new eevblog 1 and 2 videos as well or is that announced on Twitter?

16:03:37 <Ampera> what does it matter? leave him alone
16:03:44 <Ampera> he's a kid that said stupid shit
16:04:01 <MrMobodies> Yes, I suppose it's best to leave him alone.

17:59:49 <mrpackethead> my yourube bot being dumb
18:00:05 <mrpackethead> it does create some weird results sometimes
18:00:19 <Ampera> was that your bot?
18:00:47 <mrpackethead> yeah, it reacts to a name with a question mark
18:00:55 <mrpackethead> then trys to match a song name
18:01:18 <mrpackethead> its more of a script but I guess it could be a bot
18:01:28 <Ampera> as in if I follow a word with a question mark, it will look for a video?
18:01:37 <mrpackethead> no.
18:01:51 <Ampera> demonstrate plz
18:02:31 <mrpackethead> try to type "500 miles Halcyon"

18:04:34 <Halcyon> Can we change "status" to something like "Tweet" ?
18:04:36 <Ampera> Commands can be found via EEVBlog Help, there aren't many
18:04:40 <Ampera> Why?
18:04:45 <Halcyon> Because it makes more sense
18:04:51 <Ampera> not to me
18:05:00 <Ampera> that's his status, tweet seems too generic
18:05:01 <Halcyon> His Twitter feed isn't his "status"
18:05:07 <mrpackethead> EEVBlog fly to the event horizon of a nearby blackhole
18:05:09 <Halcyon> It's just stuff he posts
18:05:11 <Ampera> his most recent tweet is actually considered his status
18:05:26 <Halcyon> I don't use Twitter, so you could be right
18:05:29 <Halcyon> Anyone else weigh in?
18:05:39 <Ampera> that, and that's how it's referred to in the code
18:06:01 <Ampera> Anyways, sorry for sort of forgetting about the project, once I got my shit together, I banged this out in around 6 hours
18:06:09 <Halcyon> Does it post updates live as they happen?
18:06:13 <Halcyon> Nah it's fine
18:06:15 <Halcyon> We're all busy
18:06:23 <Ampera> I'm not, I'm just lazy, but yes, it does.
18:06:33 <Ampera> Whenever Dave tweets, it will see it, and post it here live.
18:06:43 <Ampera> EEVBlog eat shit
18:06:43 <EEVBlog> If you keep saying that, I'm gonna hold you upside down and shake you until all the electrons fall out, Ampera!
18:06:54 <Halcyon> Hahaha
18:06:57 <Halcyon> I like that one :)
18:07:05 <Ampera> EEVBlog, how's the NBN?
18:07:05 <EEVBlog> I think the NBN might be able to hold its shit together long enough for a whole YouTube video!
18:07:29 <Halcyon> We need to compile a list of "famous" Dave quotes and include them somehow.
18:07:34 <Ampera> There's also random easter egg payloads.
18:07:47 <Ampera> Ones that I won't say, they'll happen when they happen on a 1/1000 chance each
18:07:54 <Halcyon> Nice
18:07:54 <Ampera> but there's simpler ones, like
18:07:55 <Ampera> hello
18:07:57 <Ampera> hello
18:07:58 <Ampera> hello
18:08:00 <Ampera> hello
18:08:01 <Ampera> hello
18:08:01 <EEVBlog> Hello there, Ampera!
18:08:12 <Halcyon> So hello many times?
18:08:13 <EEVBlog> Hello there, Halcyon!
18:08:16 <Halcyon> That wasn't a bug?
18:08:17 <Ampera> 1/5 chance
18:08:28 <Ampera> so that it doesn't happen every time someone says hello
18:08:36 <Halcyon> It just did for me :P
18:08:46 <Ampera> yes, you just happened to hit the right random number
18:09:02 <Ampera> it can also PM you information, like EEVBlog PM-Status, will PM me the status instead of posting it public.
18:09:04 <Halcyon> That could confuse people... some users already think it's Dave

18:10:10 <Halcyon> Very good... can you make the status updates come up in Bold
18:10:17 <Halcyon> That way they stick out
18:10:20 <Ampera> uhhhhhhhh
18:10:24 <Ampera> in theory
18:10:40 <Ampera> I'd need to figure out the escape character stuff for that, but it should be possible.
18:10:48 <Ampera> EEVBlog
18:10:48 <EEVBlog> no u.
18:10:51 <Halcyon> In HexChat it's CTRL+B
18:10:57 <Halcyon> No idea how it translates into ASCII
18:10:59 <Ampera> yes, but I'm not using HexChat
18:11:07 <Ampera> it doesn't, ASCII doesn't have any of those characters
18:11:20 <Halcyon> I'm sure you'll work it out
18:11:23 <Ampera>
18:11:28 <Ampera> that's the character

18:11:31 <EEVBlog> EEVBlog's Latest Tweet: I sure hope this news about Phontonicinduction (Andy) is false: https://t.co/SLXkdomU1F Can anyone confirm?
18:11:33 <Halcyon> \o/
18:11:52 <Halcyon> But yes, Bold would be much better for that
18:11:58 <Ampera> EEVBlog, you're retarded
18:11:58 <EEVBlog> Address all complaints to the Monstanto corporation, oh wait.
18:12:01 <Halcyon> The rest of the jibber jabber can remain normal
18:12:15 <Ampera> well, let me start messing around with it then...
18:12:18 <Ampera> one moment
18:14:12 <Ampera> <b>test</b>
18:14:14 <Ampera> nope
18:14:51 <Halcyon> ASCII 0x02
18:15:06 <Halcyon> Apparently
18:15:06 <Ampera> read that, and apparently I was wrong
18:15:12 <Ampera> but how to escape that into a string...
18:15:37 Quit: T3sl4 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
18:15:48 <Halcyon> The ASCII charactied is STX
18:16:26 <Halcyon> You would probably need some delimiter or similar to tell the script that those characters are ASCII code, not the letters S T X
18:16:39 <Ampera> doesn't help me, but I can I believe do unicode escapes

18:17:56 <T3sl4> my connection tonight :(
18:18:11 <Ampera> How's australia, T3sl4?
18:18:13 <Halcyon> You sure you're not on the NBN as well ? :P
18:18:32 <T3sl4> feels like it
18:18:58 <T3sl4> guessing they're doing some kind of maint that causes momentary downtime

18:20:21 <Halcyon> Worked for me
18:20:36 <Halcyon> The debug thing anyway
18:20:40 <Ampera> aye, now uploading it to the server
18:20:59 <Halcyon> That's fine, requested status doesn't need to be bold, people will expect it

18:22:57 <Halcyon> EEVBLOG help
18:23:38 <mrpackethead> EEVBlog, what is the temperture in Melbourne
18:23:53 <Halcyon> That would be a neat feature :)
18:24:42 <Halcyon> Or EEVBlog What time is it at Dave's house?
18:25:16 <Halcyon> Or just match the words *EEVBlog* and *time* to read out Dave's local time
18:26:37 <Ampera> I don't really think that's all that useful, though, because that information can be easily looked up, and isn't a matter of updating people
18:27:03 <Ampera> I think it would be better to give the bot features that aren't available elsewhere, or are reading updates for information to be read out into the channel.
18:27:51 <Ampera> Currently I'm planning to replace the IRCStats bot with our own variant, and have the stats be readable from IRC, and potentially have it dynamically generate a webpage like how jspiros has it
18:29:41 <Halcyon> But easter eggs are useful?>
18:30:10 <Ampera> easter eggs are easy to do, are fun for a few minutes, and can bring some small life into the channel.
18:30:14 <Halcyon> I think a clock would be very useful, especially since people don't have to fire up a web browser
18:30:27 <Ampera> Why would you need to know what time it is at his house?
18:30:35 <Halcyon> *I* wouldn't
18:30:42 <Halcyon> But maybe some people want to know what time it is in Sydney?
18:30:42 <Ampera> *you -> one
18:30:46 <Ampera> why?
18:30:55 <Halcyon> So they know what time it is in Sydney
18:30:59 <Ampera> for what use?
18:31:12 <Halcyon> Their own amusement/curiosity?
18:31:26 <Halcyon> I often look up the time of my favourite YouTubers
18:31:36 * Ampera shrugs
18:31:39 <Halcyon> Especially if I contact them
18:31:51 <Ampera> Time would be okay to implement, I can just get system time and do maths, but weather would be a bit harder
18:32:05 <Halcyon> Could you not just do an NTP call ?
18:32:16 <Halcyon> You would need to adjust for DST
18:32:19 <Ampera> since I'd have to work with a web service, which may not be as shinily implemented as my Twitter API library
18:32:28 <Ampera> Halcyon, the computer does that already?
18:32:44 <Ampera> system time is NTP synced on all of my machines, why get it again if it's already there?
18:32:58 <Ampera> furthermore, that's also more complicated to implement
18:34:13 <Halcyon> *shrug* I just tend to do things properly from the start. I don't rely on "System time" to be accurate to source time from
18:34:45 <Halcyon> Anyway, doesn't matter, I'm more thinking out loud here
18:34:46 <Ampera> Halcyon, your statement is slightly comical, because having an accurate system time /is/ doing it right from the start
18:34:57 <Halcyon> What if the system stops getting NTP time?
18:35:04 <Halcyon> I've had that happen before for various reasons
18:35:24 <Ampera> what if the code stops getting NTP time?
18:35:29 <Halcyon> You would know about it
18:35:37 <Halcyon> It would throw up an error
18:35:51 <Ampera> I'd notice it if my HTPC lost NTP time
18:36:30 <Ampera> heck, if it lost NTP time, and was severe enough, things like SSL and OAuth could potentially break entirely, which would be a much bigger problem
18:37:07 <Halcyon> Such as: The time in Sydney, Australia is 2204HRS on 12 Nov. 1955... Great Scott!
18:37:41 <Ampera> working on it
18:37:56 <Halcyon> Hahaha BTTF reference for the win :P
18:38:07 <Halcyon> Or "Doc! I'm late for school!"

18:42:33 <EEVBlog> Set flux capacitor to, 18:45 Sydney time, Dave's waiting!
18:42:38 <Ampera> did I get it right?
18:42:55 <Halcyon> "Dave's Waiting" ?
18:43:03 <Halcyon> That's a little creepy :P
18:43:07 <Ampera> fine
18:43:20 <Halcyon> Sounds a bit "Call me, call me now, only 95c per minute"
18:43:39 <Ampera> 95c per minute? sex hotlines are fucking expensive these days
18:43:48 <Halcyon> Well clearly I don't call them Amps
18:43:56 <Halcyon> I don't fucking know
18:43:57 <Ampera> no, you operate them
18:44:04 <Halcyon> Hmmmm :P
18:44:17 <Halcyon> With VoIP it's probably not too expensive to do

18:49:02 <Ampera> looks annoying, you sure you want it?
18:49:18 <Halcyon> EEVBlog weather?
18:49:25 <Ampera> yes
18:49:35 <Halcyon> Go to the test channel...
18:49:41 <Ampera> what?
