__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ciphers'

update your Gevent version to at least 0.13.1. That should resolve your issue. Good luck!

set -g default-terminal "xterm-color"

This will make sure the following lines in the default .bashrc are triggered:


case "$TERM" in
xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;;
esac


Hope this helps someone.

After finishing the Ruby chapter last week, I’m getting familiar with Io now. So far the book has been a great read, and I look forward to the rest of the chapters, wondering what new insights Clojure, Haskell, Prolog, Scala and Erlang will bring.

Although the book says answers to the questions and exercises are included in the final pages, they are nowhere to be found. So I decided to push my answers to Github in case fellow readers would like to compare. I’m not sure at all that these answers are correct. They most probably will contain bugs. If you find any, just clone the repository and fix them.

That is all.

I started looking into sed and came up with a slightly more powerful version:

This script supports updated files and new files. I have not tested it yet with deleted files.

Feel free to use it if you need it. Good luck!

Note: a friend linked me a Perl script that does the same thing. I haven’t tested it yet, so I have no idea how well it works.

If you’re a windows user, this utility seems similar, but I didn’t test it.

I hope this helps a fellow Volvo (or other) owner out. Happy listening!

One thing I liked about git was being able to update my commits to include the name of a reviewer in the commit message, or to include the fixes that resulted from the review in the commit. Read on to see how you can use the mq extension for this.

The trivia plugin is the most important feature of BurgieBot, and the one I enjoyed most over the last months. I didn’t announce it back then because it had some small bugs that needed fixing. Those are fixed now, and the bot runs quite nicely. There’s a lot that I wanted to fix/change before releasing it, but following the release early, release often philosophy, I’m releasing it now.

BurgieBot pros

• Easy to extend with plugins
• Trivia plugin
• Automatic reloading of plugins without restarting the bot

BurgieBot cons

• No i18n, most strings are in Dutch
• No docs…
• Automatic reloading of plugins sometimes fails

Download it
Tarball, Zip

Dependencies

• Python 2.5 or higher
• SQLAlchemy 0.4.4 or higher
• twisted
• pyinotify (used for reloading modules on the fly)

How to run it
Create a settings.py file in the folder containing the burgiebot.py file containing:


channels = ['#demochannel',]
host = 'irc.demoserver.org'
port = 6667
nick = 'BurgieBot'
dsn = 'sqlite:///file.db' # Use an sqlite db
colors = True # Display messages in color


And run the bot using python burgiebot.py

You can browse the code here (yes, that’s a Django-based gitweb-like interface, which is WIP and unreleased ), or clone the git repository from http://realnitro.be/git/burgiebot.git/
