03:49 <CM-Punk> How do you supply a background and a foreground color to a formatting string? I understand what it says about what happens IF you supply two, but how do I supply two?

03:49 <CM-Punk> XD

03:52 <catepillar> you do Format twice

03:55 <CM-Punk> Okay

03:55 <CM-Punk> :D

04:38 <CM-Punk> catepillar I may be doing it wrong, but it's not working, can you show me an example?

06:31 <dominikh> you don't do format twice, you pass two colours to it.

06:31 <dominikh> Format(fg, bg, text)

07:17 <CM-Punk> Is that with or without a leading "

07:17 <CM-Punk> dominikh ^

09:45 <CM-Punk> http://pastebin.com/25bK8Nww how the hell do I strip the html tags from "comment" ?

09:51 <Netfeed> use something like nokogiri

09:52 <CM-Punk> Hmm okay

16:29 <leftylink> let's say that some users request that my bot notice them instead of msg

16:30 <leftylink> now, I already have a lot of Message#reply and User#send in my code and I'd like to keep those intact

16:30 <catepillar> you should use notices

16:30 <catepillar> don't think about monkey patching

16:31 <leftylink> oh hey, Target#msg has a notice arg

16:32 <leftylink> Message#reply will need work though

17:20 <leftylink> okay well... here is the result

17:20 <leftylink> https://gist.github.com/leftylink/8808230

17:20 <Cinchy> [gist] gist:8808230 (at gist.github.com, leftylink on 2014-02-04 17:19)

17:20 <leftylink> I kind of dislike the global variable so if anyone has ideas on whether there is even an alternative, that is welcome

17:21 <leftylink> and that was written in such a way as to make notice the default. privmsg can easily be the default as well simply by invertig the logic

21:34 <onewheelskyward> So, if I wanted my bot to query another bot and handle the response from it, would the best method be to monitor them, post the request, and then have the monitor pick up where the request left off?

21:46 <CM-Punk> Like a botnet?

21:51 <onewheelskyward> Not exactly.

21:51 <onewheelskyward> For a weather command, there are certain users for which I can query another bot that is aware of their location.

21:51 <onewheelskyward> So I get that response back, and pass the gps coords into the weather system.

22:05 <CM-Punk> Well onewheelskyward

22:05 <CM-Punk> It's funny you mention that

22:05 <CM-Punk> Because I'm KINDA trying to work on the same thing

22:05 <onewheelskyward> Cool! What's your thinking on it so far?

22:05 <onewheelskyward> I was hoping to create a blocking thread, but that doesn't seem workable.

22:06 <CM-Punk> Wouldn't it be easier to store and parse all that data within your bot?

22:15 <onewheelskyward> Well, ideally I'd have a web api to hit. :)

22:43 <CM-Punk> Wunderground?

22:44 <CM-Punk> I'm going to try to handle custom weather data within my weather plugin without the use of a secondary bot, store people's locations using redis or yaml

22:44 <onewheelskyward> forecast.io

22:44 <onewheelskyward> They have a great api.

22:44 <CM-Punk> Oh do they?

22:45 <onewheelskyward> !asciitemp 97206

22:45 <skybotalpha> Portland, OR 97206, USA temps: now 1.83°C |'''''***••••---.._..-•••| -1.89°C this hour tomorrow. Range: -6.11°C-1.94°C

22:45 <CM-Punk> Is it JSON?

22:45 <onewheelskyward> yep.

22:45 <CM-Punk> I see a bunch of question marks in the middle there

22:45 <CM-Punk> Maybe it's my charset

22:45 <onewheelskyward> Must be the degree symbol?

22:45 <onewheelskyward> 1.83?C?

22:45 <CM-Punk> |'''''***����---.._..-���|

22:45 <CM-Punk> That

22:46 <onewheelskyward> oh heh weird

22:46 <onewheelskyward> My dashes must not be dashes after all

22:46 <onewheelskyward> I'll check it.

22:46 <Keli> Forecast for: Detroit, MI, US | Latitude: 42.34453201, Longitude: -83.05988312 | Weather is Overcast, 23.0 F (-5.0 C) (RealFeel: 23 F (-5 C)) | UV: 0, Humidity: 67% | Wind: From the East at 1.0 MPH Gusting to 7.0 MPH | Direction: East, Degrees: 88, | Last Updated on February 4, 5:46 PM EST | More Info: http://www.wunderground.com/US/MI/Detroit.html

22:48 <CM-Punk> My plan is to create some way to get it so you can PM it ~f set <location>

22:48 <CM-Punk> And then from then on go ~f in the channel and she will give you your weather data

22:50 <onewheelskyward> CM-Punk Mine remembers the last query and defaults to it if no location entered.

22:50 <CM-Punk> Reaaalllly?

22:50 <CM-Punk> Is it persistant?

23:02 <catepillar> if y'all are testing bots

23:02 <catepillar> there is a room set up for it

23:02 <catepillar> #cinch-bots

23:03 <catepillar> or a channel

23:03 <catepillar> whatever you prefer tto call it
