[a-team] conversations with face
face is an irc bot i run on the #ateam channel.
its responses are purely random, drawing from past conversations on channel.
14:27 * face developed it on a system with no monitor
14:27 <ted> face: you and jmaher both
14:27 * face is excited to point scrum at someone else for a change
14:28 <ted> face is like some kind of weird amalgamation of everyone in here now, isn’t he?

14:28 <ahal> it always seems to pick remotely appropriate comments
14:29 <mdas> I thought face as just some other irc alias of jhammel

14:29 <ahal> mdas: face is a little too coherent for that
14:29 <ted> haha
14:29 <mdas> hah
Markov bots can be pretty fun, as experience has showed me when I was lurking some technology-oriented IRC channels on Rizon. What script does face run, if you don’t mind my asking?
face is a very simple bot i wrote using POE::Component::IRC
here’s the complete code which selects what response to use:
my $count = $self->{_brain}->length;
my $what = '';
$self->{_brain}->get(int(rand($count)), $what);
