World: r3wp

and as server side you don't store any information then the server 
side is really really small in space

give me 1 persistant connection and 3Mo of hard drive anywhere i 
will do you an IRC server  ^^

channels are virtual list of ppl in memory

interesting...

you open a channel you create an object in memory that knows what 
client have enter every time some one join you channel it enter into 
the memory list

So, I need to setup a IRC server and write an IRC client in Rebol

when you type a message it is forwarded to all the people in you 
channel list and nothing more

to maintain the volatile aspect of the conversation you have many 
ways

first the channel operator can manually kick and ban any user not 
talking to his channel

having a conversation with a bot in general is very one sided lool

Looks like Paul also wrote a IRC bot

( In IA class i made a bot that could stand a conversation  lol when 
i presented that project my professor was dead laughing but after 
explaining the concept behind he was like hoooo that's great try 
to do it ...)

i mean making the computer standing a lively converstation that makes 
sens is quite not the joke really

I use Eliza for my chat program

and that even one of the ways to evaluate the intelligence of an 
AI how many time it will spend before saying supid things or repeating 
itself

hum that's part of the project i made and no one will put it's end 
on it cause well humanity is not prepared to have thinking machines

their hands on it  damn .... i'm tired sorry

interesting .. there's no irc scripts on rebol.org library

ok so the nice pont on IRC is volatile and exclusive side of the 
chatting and the fact that the server is enough simple to be implemented 
every where and installed on any kind of machines

damn my ftp server is sick ....

i can't log to it anymore ... what is that freak thing well

what about Jabber?

jabber is derivated to irc too but with persistant information

google chat uses jabber I see.

yes I don't know if it's volatile or not msn messenger or yahoo messenger 
are based on IRC they have volatile conversation not stored on server 
side (but there can be a doubt since no one saw the sources of it)

well, I know that gmail stores my chats so I know it's not volatile

IRC had that great point to be a public domain project anyone could 
get the server sources and see how things  are done

and htat was bothering some ppl so much lol ... free expression is 
not a light thing for some people. For example when i say to Paul 
or other here is not the place to discuss on some subject that's 
not that i deny them the right to speak about it that means just 
I don't want to be involved in it and having those conversation kind 
persistant pose me real trouble ...

I mean they can have same conversation in private ...

why putting that on public place since this world have a defined 
purpose which doesn't feet with that kind of discutions plus why 
talking more about one religion than another ...

here you have oldes work  ^^

irc client in rebol

do thru to launch it

that's a thing i like in rebol too the hability to reach a software 
and run from the consol

hmm.. it logged me on to #rebol

automatically

lol

i r c . g l a s s b i l e n . n e t

why do people compress the source ??

my provide should have some problem i can't log 
 in

it's annoying ...

*** none ([~none-:-per92-8-82-240-235-176-:-fbx-:-proxad-:-net]) has joined 
channel #rebol
Graham Chiu@#rebol=>*** none is now known as shadwolf

lol ... thanks for giving everyone my domain lol

Yes Graham Paul did write a REBOL based IRC bot script long time 
ago.  It was more feature packed then eggdrop bots.  He kept revising 
it when he ran the REBOL channel on EFNET network.

and that #rebol channel is no longer in use?

A lot of us forget about the other channels out there.

No, it isn't as far as I know.

Just curious but how many concurrent users can Altme support?

Hmmm, not sure, seems it would be a big number.  If 1K peple logged 
in and all started downloading messages at the same time it could 
be a port issue?
