06:25 <leftylink> YOU REALIZE

06:26 <leftylink> there are things I want to write in other languages and stick an IRC interface in front of

06:26 <leftylink> but the fact that they don't have cinch is going to be an impediment to me

06:26 <leftylink> it's like vendor lock-in!

06:26 <leftylink> but the open source version

06:27 <leftylink> well, I'll see what they have to offer in the IRC space, I suppose. there's gotta be something out there in some languages

09:33 <nickrw> yeah I feel much the same way

09:33 <nickrw> I want to write my IRC bots in another language dammit

14:43 <dominikh> my own bot isn't even written in Ruby.

16:00 <greenbigfrog> I got this plugin http://hastebin.com/loveziloqe.rb

16:00 <greenbigfrog> if the timer happens I'm missing an argument since m.reply replys in the channel/way it got triggered. But this doesn't work with the timer

16:00 <greenbigfrog> How can I pass in an argument with a timer?

16:05 <greenbigfrog> or is there a more detailed example then https://github.com/cinchrb/cinch/blob/master/examples/plugins/timer.rb

16:07 <greenbigfrog> I basically just want to announce stuff in an interval in my channel

16:07 <dominikh> Channel("#foo").send("my message")

16:14 <greenbigfrog> but I got longer messages that I would have to edit twice if they ever change... IS there an easier way?

16:15 <dominikh> it's ruby. use variables or constants or… code

16:19 <greenbigfrog> ok

16:20 <greenbigfrog> thanks
