David Raynes

While I was speaking with Joi on IRC today, BitchX kept ignoring him (in all honesty though, he was pasting some stuff into messages to me, so they were coming in pretty quick). Anyways, after some digging, I found an undocumented command for turning off auto-ignore for a given nick:

/addnoflood nickname

Unfortunately, it appears that setting is not saved with the /save command, so I will need to add it to my ~/.bitchxrc file.

I have been on IRC quite a bit lately, and I have been having some fun getting my current client, BitchX, working nicely. I have not done too much so far, but I have got a few more tricks up my sleeve.

First of all, the following in my ~/.bitchxrc file automatically validates me with NickServ on Freenode and Wyldryde:

 # My "passwords"
assign FREENODE_PASSWORD password
assign WYLDRYDE_PASSWORD password

 # Command to register with NickServ
 # Sending the appropiate password to the network

alias nsreg {
    userhost NickServ -cmd {
        if ( rmatch($3@$4 NickServ@services.) ) {
            echo NSREG: Sending FreeNode Credentials
            ^msg nickserv identify $FREENODE_PASSWORD
        }
        if ( rmatch($3@$4 services@wyldryde.net) ) {
            echo NSREG: Sending WyldRyde Credientials
            ^msg nickserv identify $WYLDRYDE_PASSWORD
        }
    }
}

 # Catch the notice from NickServ that the nick is registered

on ^notice 'NickServ This nickname is \\[owned registered\\]*' {
    ^nsreg
}

And finally, since there are many people who refer to me without using my nick (rayners), I put in the following code to catch other words and highlight those messages:

assign AR_WORDLIST david raynes dave rayners

on ^public '% % *\\[$AR_WORDLIST\\]*' {
        echo $fparse(PUBLIC_AR "" $0 "" $2-)
}

I will probably add some more words later, but that is working well enough so far.
