01:47 <usandfriends> Hello, I tried `m.user.away` but I'm getting a NoMethodError for #<User nick={{nick}}>

01:50 <dominikh> please show the exact, uncensored stacktrace, as well as the actual code

02:01 <catepillar> usandfriends: you can't change the bot prefix, but you can change plugins... it's a bit hacky, but you can set a prefix per plugin and reload them one by one

02:04 <usandfriends> catepillar: I'm not using plugins unfortunately, but that's cool to think about

02:04 <usandfriends> dominikh: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `away' for #<User nick="usandfriends">>

02:04 <usandfriends> dominikh: It's an eval bot

02:04 <dominikh> that's not a stacktrace.

02:04 <usandfriends> dominikh: I don't have a stack trace

02:04 <dominikh> then get one.

02:04 <usandfriends> I can't

02:05 <dominikh> well then there's nothing for me to do here

02:05 <catepillar> you should also use plugins

02:05 <catepillar> much easier to manage functionality with plugins

02:07 <usandfriends> dominikh: It's running in a thread and it's not giving me a stack trace. :(

02:07 <usandfriends> that's all that's outputted

02:08 <dominikh> never mind, I found the issue.

02:08 <usandfriends> :D

02:09 <usandfriends> catepillar: Is it possible to create plugins through the bot. Like if I send '.new_plugin plugin_name lamba { |args| ... }' to the bot?

02:10 <usandfriends> Or would I have the shut it down, manually write the plugin, and start it back up?

02:10 <catepillar> you can load dynamically load and unload plugins

02:10 <catepillar> i think that's what you are asking

02:10 <catepillar> dominikh has a gist somewhere doing exactly that

02:11 <catepillar> https://github.com/dominikh/Mathetes/blob/cinch_rewrite/lib/cinch/plugins/plugin_management.rb

02:13 <catepillar> what i generally do is make changes to the ruby file that is the plugin, then reload it

02:13 <catepillar> but you could write a new plugin and load that

02:14 <usandfriends> Interesing

02:14 <usandfriends> interesting*

02:14 <catepillar> the link i gave you actually uses the ruby `load` method to reparse your ruby files

02:14 <usandfriends> Yeah.. Currently I just have a hash of lambdas and the main :channel event just checks if the key exists and executes the lambda with the string after the prefix

02:16 <usandfriends> I can "bind" new lambdas by running `.bind name lambda { |args| ... }`, which eval()'s the lambda and stores it in the hash

02:16 <usandfriends> I don't have access to my server while I am at school (port 22), so this is the way around it

02:17 <usandfriends> I don't think the dynamic plugins would work for my case since I don't have the ability to upload the plugin file

02:17 <usandfriends> But it would make my code 10x cleaner

02:18 <dominikh> update to 2.2.4 if you want User#away to work

02:19 <usandfriends> dominikh: you are amazing

02:19 <usandfriends> But thanks a lot for the gist catepillar, I'll keep it and maybe find some way to bypass the block

02:21 <catepillar> ah, i remember the shitty hacks i ran around school port blocking

02:21 <dominikh> school port blocking is so ridiculously easy to get around :P

02:21 <catepillar> pretty sure I had ssh run over HTTP with some sort of hacked system that if you preformed a "GET" it displayed a blank web page

02:22 <catepillar> ssh server run over port 80, with a web page if a GET was called

02:22 <catepillar> stupid

02:22 <catepillar> but it worked

02:24 <usandfriends> Is this channel logged?

02:25 <catepillar> yea

02:25 <catepillar> http://irclog.whitequark.org/cinch/2015-02-10

02:25 <usandfriends> Thanks

02:25 <catepillar> it updates as well

02:26 <catepillar> kinda funny, i posted that link and realized it was already up on the webpage

02:29 <usandfriends> dominikh: Working :D
