ive been working on a really complicated irc bot that sends you text messages if you get highlighted in irc and even lets you send a reply to the person who highlighted you it uses a lotta neat poo poo - skybot as the base (python irc bot) - twilio to send and receive sms messages - flask as the sms receiving endpoint - sqlite (and eventually postgres) to store the user info - redis to send messages from the flask app to the irc bot it's been really fun and python owns (although i have nowhere to host the bot  )i wish i had put this much effort into something that was actually a good idea

Make sure you put in some throttling, maybe have a buffer and if more than 1 highlight stacks up for a person in one 'tweet interval' it sends a MULTIPLE HILIGHTS: http://short.url/linktohilights tweet. that way you don't get blown up but you won't miss messages either

the roo ruby gem is loving great for getting data from spreadsheets. very noice. for this reason i use ruby a lot for converting the data that designers give me from spreadsheets to machine readable efficient game data. ruby is also very good at spewing out binary to arbitrary bit lengths etc so this is a job that it really owns at

Phone posted:cobol report - week of september 23rd: as we speak, some software out there is working only because the binary search function doesn't work. and someone is asking their superior, "what the gently caress? why don't we rewrite this file?" and their superior is saying back, "eh, it works right now, better not gently caress with it." and thus the torch of laziness and depression is passed to the next generation.

i remember once some guy wrote a minecraft plugin that did whatever and also gave him admin access to your server this was discovered when he repeatedly unbanned himself from someone's server after they banned him for being an immature babby and then banned the owner when he got caught his defense was 'well microsoft does it too!'

Personally, this breakdown is 1h to watch the lectures, 1h to do the assignment (including implementing own regression tests), and 3-5 hours minimum sperging about why I didn't score 10/10. Currently at 9.67/10 for week 2 what THE gently caress
