DickieBot
IRC bot written in Python (2.6). DickieBot is an experiment in Python and IRC APIs. Once I have a good handle on both, the plan is to make him a permanent fixture in #makerslocal, granted there are no significant objections and he does not become a bother. PM Dickie if you find an exploit or bug.
Current functionality
- Wiki search: Scrapes the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article to return a summary of the search term
- Factoids (using a SQL Lite data table)
Future functionality/enhancements/ideas
- Factoid security
- Rewrite Wiki search for speed. Also return suggestions when search yeilds no results and do something about lists of definitions on ambiguous terms.
- DickieBot seems to be only as consistent with success as Wikipedia is consistent with code.
Other Ideas
Oil-Cooled PC
- Oil-Cooled PCs look like a fun project. I will investigate different types of oil which have been used and designs to minimize leaks.
Twitter Doggy-Door
- I'm thinking this will involve some arduino-work. This will require some education on my part, but it is an area I would like to move into.
