http://canonical.org/~kragen/blosxom.cgi is (the current and probably
quite ephemeral URL of) a blog I feed from an IRC channel; here's the
IRC bot that feeds the blog from the IRC channel. Trivial bit of
code, really (though it could do with some tweaking), but I expect
that the convenience of blogging stuff through GAIM will have a major
effect on what I blog.
#!/usr/bin/python
# blogbot: simple blogging IRC bot. Produces blog posts via blosxom
# whenever someone utters a URL on a channel where blogbot is
# listening. Written using Twisted Python, which really rocks.
# This turns GAIM, irssi, Jabber, and suchlike into instant blogging
# and blog-reading tools.
# TODO:
# - some level of authentication
# - better titles when none are suggested by the user --- e.g. page title
# - support for blosxom categorization
# - all-lowercase filenames
# - provide a link to the IRC channel so people can watch the IRC version
# of the blog in real time.
# config parameters:
# blogbotchannel, near the top
# "localhost", 6667, near the bottom: the IRC server to talk to
# '/home/kragen/hackblogdata', in the middle: the Blosxom data dir
