Computer bot is a prototype bot platform.
Its objective is to explore the marriage of Empowered People,
Web 2.0 (APIs, Mashups, Social), Personal Management Information Systems and Robots.
Computer bot / Twitter edition is a proof of concept application.
Twitter users get an enhanced Twitter IM Bot.
Tweeting developers get a customizable, extendable, prototype IM Bot platform.
Some quick notes to get you started
-------
Computer bot is a ruby program that requires several RubyGems.
You need Ruby (tested with 1.8.5 on Mac OS X and Linux) and to install
the following gems before running Computer bot:
sudo gem install daemons
sudo gem install xmpp4r-simple
sudo gem install jabber-bot
sudo gem install json
Twitter edition requires you to install the following gem:
sudo gem install twitter4r
Configuration
------
Edit and rename
lib/config/config-sample.yml
to
lib/config/config.yml
Enter your bot's Jabber credentials (you can ask me for @webcracy.org accounts).
If you're on Dreamhost, you must specify a resource with your jib, as such:
you@yourserveratdreamhost.com/resource
Example:
computerbot@yourdomain.com/Bot
Enter your Jabber ID (ex: you@gmail.com) as "master". (Dreamhosters: No need for a resource here)
Enter your bot's Status message, for example "Computer ready."
Enter your Twitter credentials.
Running the bot
-------
To run the bot, type:
ruby computerbot.rb start
To stop the bot, type:
ruby computerbot.rb stop
Operating the bot
-------
If your config is right, the bot will send you a message saying it's available.
Send "help" to the bot to see all available commands.
