gumstix-wads

[<jo...@de...>]

Hey!

I'm just curious, these wads. Any thoughts about interacting them with
IRC? The reason I'm asking is that I'm writing a bot for the new
'irssi2'-protocol. It's quite bleeding edge, but isn't all development
on the gumstix just that? ;) (See http://2.irssi.org)

One of the things that made me think of it for the clusters is the
capability for an irssi2-server (which acts like a gateway from
irssi2-protocol to MSN, IRC, SILC, etcetera) to have multiple clients
(e.g. bots) connected to the same IRC connection. That way, one could
have a 6-stick+gate-stick-cluster using one IRC connection which is an
irssi2 running on the gate-stick, and then each clusterstick would have
a connection to the gate.

I'm writing my bot kinda plugin-based, so I was thinking something like
status for what it's compiling (and / or notification on start / end of
compilation) using distcc, checking that all stix are responding, seeing
loads, stuff like that? (And plant them firmly on #gumstix FreeNode with
the lonely GumBot)

It's just a suggestion, I haven't attempted compiling irssi2 for the
gumstix yet, nor my bot. If you guys think it's worth a shot, I'll look
at compiling (and if neccessary; porting) it. AFAIK it doesn't have any
weird dependencies, but the bot is in C++.

(And yes, this is quite a bit of shameless self-promotion *cough* ;-)
