0xfeedface Tech musings and rants

Around a month or two ago, I decided to halt all hobbyist programming. I do enough programming at work. I've been doing hobbyist C programming for around eight to nine years. Lately, I've been getting really sick and tired of programming. Programming used to be exciting and challenging. Now it's dull and boring. Instantiate this variable, write this loop, code that conditional statement. Maybe I'm bored of programming because I've spent these last eight or so years writing in C or C-based languages.

However, two days ago, I decided that the most efficient way for a hacking community with which I associate to have IRC statistics is to write an IRC bot. I already had code for an IRC bot lying around from a few years ago. I decided to pick up the old code and, since I don't comment hobbyist code, figure out how to write plugins for my IRC bot of old. I've really enjoyed working with this bot. Picking up this old project has rekindled the dwindling flame. I'm excited to finish this project.

For those who are interested, you can view the source at http://svn.retoros.org/retoros/lattbot/trunk. I'm not really looking for help on the project, nor is it ever going to be officially released. But if you'd like to help, I'd gladly accept it. There's definitely areas that need to be cleaned up.
