original readme

Tōchō 盗聴 - a simple irc logging bot built on node-irc and nstore.

overview

just another sketch in node.js. I usually can't be on the node.js channel all the time, so this bot is run off a cheap shell on one background process.

there's already the official logs of course, but nstore lets me potentially do a search for my favorite guys...etc

and of course, it's just plain good fun on weekend late nights to put some node goodies together.

update

adding a simple web delivery to a page so ideally tocho can just pass off what it hears and can be viewed real-time from a webpage. eventually to integrate the search into the webpage as well. I'm turning this guy into a Doraemon. If anyone else got some wacky idea of what tocho should do, join in the fun.

requirements

• node.js (duh!)
• npm
• use npm install node-irc
• nStore if you want to save the conversations to Tim Caswell's nStore instead of a plain vanilla text file.
• Socket.io if you want to configure the conversations to a webpage (and less.js for simple CSS beautification). Also to use express/fab or any good framework.

settings

see config.js

run bot

node bot.js

bunuq's Issues

!last N [/REGEX/]*

fetch last 30 logs - optionally matching regexp
and privmsg them 3 at a time - second apart

!last #unhosted 30min sends a private message with last log to user

17:25 dxld: if you send the bot a certain command it should send to you the last few minutes of conversation in the channel
17:25 robotarmy: that would be handy
17:25 dxld: mhm
17:25 dxld: !last #unhosted 30min
