Comment HeX front-end bot (Score 1) 203
My friend Jon (an op in Undernet #help and a Perl afficianado) wrote up a little perl bot that sits on IRC and responds to text from botnick from registered users and any sentence from unregistered users.
It would then use simple HTTP to post the text and get a response from HeX, which was a bot that participated in the Loebner contest.
Since we are starting a new IRC network, we used this as a way to get the random people who accidentally ended up on our network to talk. Needless to say, the results were quite humorous. We ended up adding a toggle because it would annoy the crap out of us.
