00:11 <Liru> Is there a way to have something constantly running in the background? Like, having a dice roll simulated each minute and printed to the channel without interacting with the bot?

00:11 <catepillar> look at timers

00:12 <Liru> k

00:13 <catepillar> normally, i would link you to an example, but I dont see any i like :P

00:13 <catepillar> https://github.com/cinchrb/cinch/blob/master/examples/plugins/timer.rb

00:13 <catepillar> that's a good one

00:21 <Liru> Alright, I guess that could work for now

02:22 <Liru> I keep trying to hash a user's name with m.user

02:23 <Liru> I get #<User nick="Liru"> instead of just "Liru"

02:23 <Liru> Looking up how to possibly fix it

02:34 <Liru> m.user.nick is what I was looking for apparently

03:42 <catepillar> yes, m.user is the User object

03:43 <catepillar> so User.name is the name of that user. authname is also something you *might* be interested in, seeing as names change frequently, but authname changes are rare

03:55 <Liru> Yeah, it looks like something I may want

03:56 <Liru> Although I'm not sure if I want to use that, but it seems like something that MAY be useful to me

03:56 <zer0python> I was quite happy that cinch already handled figuring out authname. :>

03:57 <zer0python> it really is a nice full framework, just wish it was slightly better documented ;)

03:57 <Liru> zer0python: Yeah, I spent forever looking for a way to handle a user joining a channel

03:58 <Liru> Turns out it's in an example but not in the docs o.o

05:31 <Liru> Woo, this is going places

05:31 <Liru> I just need to figure out how to save and read symbols and I'm done a huge chunk of the framework

17:27 <dominikh> Liru: "save and read symbols"?

17:32 <Liru> nvm

17:32 <Liru> it was a bug I had
