16:56 <Liru> How does one get rid of the constant "I should probably work in Python" feeling

17:05 <onewheelskyward> Work in python for a while?

17:05 <onewheelskyward> And get tired of it. :)

17:21 <Liru> That seems to be the only option right now. :p

20:29 <Rylee> What would the simplest way to have my bot randomly perform an action every time_interval?

20:37 <catepillar> use timers

20:38 <catepillar> http://rubydoc.info/github/cinchrb/cinch/Cinch/Timer

20:38 <catepillar> https://github.com/cinchrb/cinch/blob/master/examples/plugins/timer.rb

20:39 <dominikh> (you're also using the word "randomly" wrong)

20:40 <catepillar> kinda depends

20:40 <catepillar> if he/she wants a random action, then it's _technically_ correct

20:41 <catepillar> but the best that can be feasilby and cheaply attained is pseudo-random

20:41 <dominikh> there's nothing random about performing an action every time_interval, and the content of the action wasn't the subject ;)

20:48 <Rylee> err

20:49 <Rylee> whoops, heh, I was typing something else then forgot to ^W over "randomly"

20:49 <dominikh> catepillar: told ya! :P

20:50 <catepillar> lol

20:53 <Rylee> Could I do something like...

20:54 <Rylee> >>> loop { Timer(range_rand(20, 30)) { action_on(Channel('#horse')) } }

20:55 <catepillar> what's your exit condition for loop?

20:55 <dominikh> if you fancy ending up with infinitively many timers for all possible values in [20, 30), then sure ;)

20:56 <Rylee> Oh, dear, I guess Timer isn't blocking, then. Whoops.

20:57 <Rylee> For Channel#{admins, half_ops,ops,voiced}, will Cinch include itself?

20:57 <dominikh> if it's one of these, sure

20:57 <catepillar> Timer is relatively simple. Somthing like def Timer(time, &block); Thread.new { sleep time; block.call }; end

21:00 <Rylee> Sorry to be bothersome, but... >>> o = Channel('#horse').ops - [User(bot.nick)] # this would theoretically store a list of ops, sans the bot itself, in o, right?

21:01 <dominikh> you can't set that attribute, it's a reader

21:01 <dominikh> even if you could set it, that wouldn't achieve anything

21:01 <catepillar> he isn't tsetting anything

21:01 <dominikh> oh

21:01 <dominikh> fair enough

21:01 <dominikh> there's no need for User(bot.nick) – just say bot

21:02 <catepillar> without testing, it seems about right

21:02 <Rylee> err, derp

21:41 <Rylee> heh, well that was simple, went from knowing exactly Nil about Cinch to having a working bot for the purpose needed in 30 minutes. Awesome framework!

21:41 <dominikh> nice :)

21:49 <onewheelskyward> rock on.

21:50 <onewheelskyward> I wasn't that fast but it was pretty quick.
