PeterL[asciilifeform|billymg]: hmm, scoopbot here did not call out verisimiltudes latest post, but the one on #asciilifeform did. no idea why
PeterL[asciilifeform|billymg]: !s uptime
PeterL[asciilifeform|billymg]: ah, scoopbot is talking, but it is not showing up here.
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: pestbot: ping
PeterL[asciilifeform|billymg]: so it looks like scoopbot saw my message and answered, but the blatta station did not acknowledge the bot's message.
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: PeterL: I'm not sure why that would be
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: $ticker btc usd
busybot[asciilifeform|billymg]: Current BTC price in USD: $40606.02
PeterL[asciilifeform|billymg]: hmm, this is what it sent: 'PRIVMSG #pest :L: time since my last reconnect : 3d 7h 30m'
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: that :L: seems kind of weird
PeterL[asciilifeform|billymg]: I think it is supposed to be the username? more digging needed apparently
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: PeterL: here are some examples of PRIVMSGs from the rfc: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1459#section-4.4.1
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: Obviously scoopbot's formatting works with ascii's irc server tho
PeterL[asciilifeform|billymg]: !s version
PeterL[asciilifeform|billymg]: the weird thing is that it was working the other day, but now it isn't
scoopbot[asciilifeform|billymg]: testing station ...
shinohai[asciilifeform|billymg]: $uptime
busybot[asciilifeform|billymg]: The bot has been up for: 3 days 23 hours 27 minutes and 8 seconds
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: PeterL: you don't happen to have a record of what the raw messages looked like when it was working do you?
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: I should at some point write a test that exercises the IRC command parser
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: although honestly I'm getting to the point of wanting to switch over to lisp
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: Although really that shouldn't be before blatta implements the "final solution" for fork detection so that can be tested out
shinohai[asciilifeform|billymg] would applaud a lisp pest-o-tron ....
PeterL[asciilifeform|billymg]: the one that came through looked like 'PRIVMSG #pest :I am 'Scoopbot' version 693657.'

signpost[asciilifeform]: awt: if your test harness ends up written at the protocol level, could be a handy tool for your lisp impl.
signpost[asciilifeform]: as thing stand you are likely to get to that step before me. happy to help as I can.
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: signpost: I would probably need lots of help. I'm a total lisp n00b. Likeley to make fatal design flaws.
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: *fatally flawed design decisions, that is
signpost[asciilifeform]: dunno about that, but happy to share notions about how to write.
signpost[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform is resident expert in this.
signpost[asciilifeform]: gonna go find a beer and hamburg in the sun, bbl
