Re: [backstage] backstage IM bot posted on BetaNews

2005-12-05 Thread Andy Hawkins
Hi,

 I happened to look at my IM bot logs this afternoon, and was more than a
 little surprised that since last night, the MSN bot had been in use
 non-stop. Between yesterday evening and this afternoon, more than 1,100
 individual new users had spoken to it...

I haven't seen your bot online for a while...can you confirm the
address is still [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,

 Andy, I think you've confused this with a MSN bot that James has created,
 see his archived post here

Doh, good point.

Must read more carefully :)

Re: [backstage] Prototype: BBCBOT

 Well Tom's suggestion of Instant Messaging using BBC content was cool.
 I had something working a while ago which monitored IRC and spewed out
 content to MSN so I have changed it a bit and I present the prototype
 bbcbot as an example of an instant messenger system which intergrates
 television feeds, news feeds and also provides an automated message
 when your programmes are about to start! You can configure the bot from
 within messenger or via the web once you've added him as a contact.

That really is a useful bit of work!

One minor problem, (after a bit of fiddling around to test), it
doesn't seem to know about Coronation Street on ITV (finds the episode
on ITV 2).
