I have made a small modification to the PieSpy Social Network Bot from Jibbler

FTP support has been added, see the end of the config.ini file for the FTP details.  This modification, labelled PieSpy-0.4.1 (DeadEd) can be downloaded from http://deaded.com/betas/PieSpy-0.4.1-unofficial/

 

Hope you find it useful

What does the PircBot Java API have in common with cereal? What happens when a Ruby fan has too much time on his hands? Oh, and don't forget a love of IRC ... you get a nutty Ruby IRC API and a whole bunch of related projects. Head over to http://cerealbot.org/ for a fresh bowl of IRC madness, served to you by Raws.

Jibbler has released his second book (IRC Hacks being the first). No, this one is not IRC related, but it will make trying to have a conversation with Monty (his faithful bot) seem possible in comparison!

So, with a sly grin, Jibbler presents Impossible Sudoku

Skelm has made a nice blog entry entitled IRC & Security - A comprehensive guide If you use IRC, it's worth a look.

Happy Christmas and New Year to you :D

I have been creating beta packages of some of my software, such as MatchEd, PPF, QueriEd and RconEd for user testing.

The availablilty of these betas is announced via irc (#deaded on irc.quakenet.org) when something is ready for testing - so people there get a heads up and the chance to play with and influence the next release.

If you don't mind playing with software under test, then take a look at some possible betas at http://betas.deaded.com/ and try them at your own risk :P (also very rarely any supporting documentation)

For example, there is a new QueriEd beta that supports the new Source query protocol, and an improved MatchEd beta that has better auto setup and CS:S support, and some new features.

Lots of things going on at the moment ... there is activity in the RconEd, QueriEd, and PPF projects.

RconEd is being updated with some user contributed fixes and Source capabilities. This will also be used in an updated MatchEd.

QueriEd is getting Source support and is going through testing as well - thanks once again to some great user input.

PPF has taken on a new developer and is undergoing some real nice improvements and feature additions ... expect some major updates and new plugins for the next version :D

This site may get restructured a little to reflect different areas (eg: Bots, Libs, Mobile, Quality) and at the same time, become the homepage for the open source projects. As usual, comments are more than welcome and dropping by the IRC channel and saying hello is encouraged :)

I have started some forums up to help answer some common questions about the PircBot Java IRC API Bot Framework usage and provide examples. The hope is that any PircBot user with questions, some useful hints, or just wanting to show what they are doing with PircBot will contribute to these forums. There is also a forum for any other Jibble.org queries / information if it isn't PircBot related.

I have updated the Geeklog version I am using and taken advantage of this rather nice theme while doing so :)

Despite the apparent lack of events, things have been moving along .. at least with PPF. There have been several fixes and a couple of plugin updates. There are some more plugins in development ...
