IRC Bots

There have recently been a few projects done to integrate the channel into the physical space better; Spacemon to monitor the space and provide busyness information of the physical space on the IRC channel, and Chatmon to display activity summary information for the IRC channel in the physical space.

There are also generally useful bots that may or may not be around depending on time of day, whims, weather, etc.

To find out more, read up on the various projects on these pages:

• Spacemon - what rooms are busy, and are the lights on?
• Peoplemon - who is at the space?
• Schedmon - who will be at the space?
• Chillmon - what's the temperature in the shop & in the beer fermenter?
• Chatmon
• Chronmon - !addcron - add things to say and other bot interactions - using crontab format to schedule things to happen in IRC.
• Cutebot - correct yourself using sed syntax
• Thingsmon - view data from Things Bus and view documentation about Things Bus
• Ghostlowmon - an annoying bot which responds when you ask for !thing
• Futuremsgbot - !remind yourself things
• Greetermon - a markov model trained on things said in the channel. grumpermon's good twin
• Grumpermon - responds with pre-recorded, insulting remarks to make you cry in the corner with a pint of ice cream, you cad.
• Tardisvoice
• Schedmon
• Spacemon
• Sudlowbot - !ps1events, !ps1wiki, and a million commands that link to pictures of cats
• PS1Wikimon - tells the chat when people edit the wiki
