@GeorgetheDev what's your favorite food?

George the Dev

@NathanOsman My favorite food is fish (surprise).

Nathan Osman

@GeorgetheDev What is my favorite color?

George the Dev

@NathanOsman How should I know?

Nathan Osman

Heh.

user136984

@NathanOsman: What does he know?

user136984

21:20

@GeorgetheDev: What do you know?

Nathan Osman

He only does three things right now.

He can tell you the time.

He will greet you.

And he knows a few of his favorite things.

Very soon, you will be able to tell him your favorite things and he will remember them.

user136984

How does he work?

user136984

Does he pick up keywords in a sentence?

Nathan Osman

You can view the source code to find out:

github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot

user136984

I will do a test...

user136984

21:22

@GeorgetheDev: If you tell me the time I will kill you and make you into penguin soup.

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: Soup time!

user136984

:D

user136984

@NathanOsman: I thought that would work! :D

Nathan Osman

21:24

You didn't address him :P

If you look on line 25 here... github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot

George the Dev

@ParanoidPanda It is currently Wed, 29 Jul 2015 21:24:36 GMT.

user136984

:D :D :D

Nathan Osman

...you'll see that he only responds to "time" messages when the message type is 8 or 18.

8 is a "@user" ping and 18 is a direct reply to a previous message.

user136984

Ah...

Nathan Osman

Compare this to line 29 here... github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot/blob/master/modules/…

user136984

21:25

What other keywords does he respond to?

user136984

And what about multiple ones?

Nathan Osman

Multiple what?

user136984

Keywords.

user136984

In one sentence.

Nathan Osman

It doesn't use keywords :P

It uses regular expressions.

Each module is given the message and the first one to match the pattern is the one that replies.

user136984

21:27

Right...

user136984

Which file on github?

Nathan Osman

This is the list of modules: github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot/tree/master/modules

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite human called?

George the Dev

@ParanoidPanda I don't have a favorite human called.

user136984

:D :D :D

user136984

21:29

@NathanOsman: You really should configure that.

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite food?

George the Dev

@ParanoidPanda My favorite food is fish (surprise).

user136984

I prefer duck surprise... ;P

Nathan Osman

@GeorgetheDev who is your favorite user?

George the Dev

@NathanOsman My favorite user is me (yeah, I'm a bit of a narcissist).

user136984

21:32

@NathanOsman: Do you have a favourite colour?

user136984

Ooops!

user136984

Not you!

user136984

facepalm...

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: Do you have a favourite colour?

user136984

:D

user136984

21:33

@NathanOsman: No response?

Nathan Osman

Well, he can't do everything.

user136984

Oh... I wrote it wrong...

user136984

:D

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite colour?

George the Dev

@ParanoidPanda My favorite colour is blue (and it's spelled 'color' FYI).

user136984

21:34

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite Towel?

George the Dev

@ParanoidPanda I don't have a favorite towel.

Nathan Osman

He likes them all.

user136984

:D

user136984

@NathanOsman: He should respect them by giving them a capital 'T' though... :P

Nathan Osman

He has to convert everything to lowercase in order to properly lookup the information.

It's a technical thing.

user136984

21:36

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite place to hide food from Nathan?

George the Dev

@ParanoidPanda I don't have a favorite place to hide food from nathan.

Nathan Osman

See?

user136984

So he hides it everywhere? :D

Nathan Osman

He didn't capitalize my own name.

user136984

:O

user136984

21:38

@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite way to throw pies in Nathan's face, I like them all?

George the Dev

@ParanoidPanda I don't have a favorite way to throw pies in nathan's face, i like them all.

user136984

:D :D :D

user136984

@NathanOsman: So you better watch out, I think I've given him the idea now... :D

user136984

I like the way you can manipulate the output from bots...

user136984

user136984

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: What is my favourite colour?

Nope, doesn't seem to be working...

user136984

@GeorgetheDev @NathanOsman: Anyway, goodnight! :)

Terrance

21:56

@ParanoidPanda Goodnight!

Nathan Osman

Aha!

I found what he was doing wrong.

Terrance

Did you fix him?

Nathan Osman

Give me about 5 minutes.

Alright... let's try this again.

@GeorgetheDev my favorite color is yellow.

@GeorgetheDev what is my favorite color?

22:09

He does?!?

Terrance

@GeorgetheDev Hi

George the Dev

@Terrance Greetings.

Nathan Osman

He's not supposed to!

Fabby

Look:

Terrance

That's pretty cool! :D

Fabby

22:09

@GeorgetheDev What is the time?

George the Dev

@Fabby It is currently Wed, 29 Jul 2015 22:09:44 GMT.

Nathan Osman

He's not that smart yet.

George the Dev

@Fabby It is currently Wed, 29 Jul 2015 22:09:59 GMT.

Fabby

Keep it that way!

Good!

Nathan Osman

@GeorgetheDev my favorite color is red

Weird.

Fabby

22:11

And he doesn't respond with @NathanOsman's favorite

Also good!

Nathan Osman

localStorage is doing something funny here.

Fabby

@GeorgetheDev What is your favorite food?

@GeorgetheDev Hi

Nathan Osman

I stopped him.

Fabby

Ah, I though he was asleep...

When you stop him, his icon doesn't leave the room! :D

Nathan Osman

It will eventually.

Fabby

22:16

You already thought of that???

I'm even more impressed!

BRB

You might have to do that one again.

Terrance

22:24

Terrance

@NathanOsman does he store that info?

Nathan Osman

Pats George on the head.

@Terrance Yes, in localStorage, but he won't remember this stuff since it's running on my computer while I work on the feature.

Once he's up and running on my server he'll remember it all.

Terrance

22:26

@NathanOsman Ah, cool!

Fabby

@GeorgetheDev What is my favorite color?

Nathan Osman

Wait - I have a hunch this one isn't going to work right...

@GeorgetheDev my favorite website is quickmediasolutions.com

@GeorgetheDev what is my favorite website?

George the Dev

22:28

@NathanOsman Your favorite website is quickmediasolutions.

Fabby

But I think it's an easy fix.

Fabby

yup...

@GeorgetheDev What is your favorite food?

George the Dev

@Fabby My favorite food is fish (surprise).

Fabby

@NathanOsman how difficult is it to add "favourite" (as my local spell checker underlines favorite every time...

Nathan Osman

22:32

He responds to both.

But he uses American spelling.

@GeorgetheDev what is your favorite colour?

George the Dev

Terrance

Fabby

22:33

Cool!

So perfect behaviour: he understands EN-UK but speaks EN-US!!!

Nathan Osman

EN-CA is pretty similar too.

Fabby

I'm not easily impressed, but I am now...

@NathanOsman to which?

US or UK?

Nathan Osman

EN-UK.

Fabby

OK!

Nathan Osman

We are a British colony, after all.

Fabby

22:35

Are??? used to be is more correct!

;-)

Nathan Osman

We're still part of the British empire.

(Much to my dismay.)

Fabby

Well, except Lizzy still being on the CAD, there's not much British about you lot any more!

>:)

Anyway, I've favourited github.com/nathan-osman/george-the-dev-bot and I'll digg up my excuse generator and include him somehow somewhere...

Then I need to go cook supper and do some stuff.

Fabby
