13:57 <thenut> can someone let me know what the preferred way to update a bot's nick is? I see the set_nick method is considered private and I should avoid using it (it also doesnt seem to work anyway)

13:58 <dominikh> thenut: @bot.nick = "new nick"

13:59 <thenut> oh really? i didnt realize i could just modify the property at runtime

13:59 <thenut> thanks

14:00 <dominikh> in true Ruby spirit, where foo= is just a method.

14:03 <thenut> ah, that makes sense. I'm still learning ruby. I appreciate your patience

14:03 <dominikh> you haven't yet made much use of my patience ;)
