I realized today that there is a new Eggdrop version available and took the freedom to create a xMind release containing the new Eggdrop version. Please note that xMind development has been “stopped” some time ago and that I will only fix critical Bugs and add features if I need them. Both installers have been tested and should work, please refer to the xMind wiki if you have difficulties installing. If you do not want to use 1.6.19 I suggest that you download r1 that still uses 1.6.18.

Eight days after the release of version 1.1, version 1.2 has been completed and may be acquired from our Debian depot or its git repository. The plugin loader as well as the clientsettings option window have been remodeled and plugins are now provided as special formatted tarballs that can be easily installed using the well known plugin installer. Additionally, the IRC away system has been fully implemented now and is therefore ready to be used.
Some nasty and pretty annoying bugs have also been fixed, for instance, all channelflags will be excluded from the nick autocompletion now. For a full list of changes, bugfixes and additions please take a look at the changelog. Windows users will not be able to run this version of tIRC, I simply do not have enough time to modify the code so that it is fully windows compliant.
The platform independence of tIRC defiantly is an important matter, as the client was in fact designed to run on many different platforms, but ever since the introduction of the trayicon and the trayicon flashing mechanism in particular, platform independence was at stake, due to the two completely different approaches of winico, that relies on the windows api and Freedock. The tIRC project is therefore looking for a windows maintainer / packager that is capable of fixing windows related issues within the tIRC code as well as creating full installer packages, for one click installations.
If you are an interested, capable and motivated windows user, that is willing to invest some time and sweat creating a tIRC windows port please let me know. In the meantime, if you are using Windows and want to run tIRC you will have to find a workaround yourself, submit your patch if you did :>.

I have just completed all tasks that have been set for tIRC v1.1, some major bugs have been fixed and some additions have been made that will simplify your everyday life on IRC. The most vicious bug that has been fixed was
bug #157 that prevented a user to interact with a channel or query, which contained “chokage” characters such as {[]}. Most chatters will be glad to hear that user highlighting and nick tab auto completion are fully implemented now. If you want to know about all changes that happened between
tIRC 1.0 and
tIRC 1.1, please refer to the
changelog. tIRC can be downloaded from our
Debian depot or by visiting our git repository at
http://git.geekosphere.org/. Please notice that the first release candidate of v1.1 contained some obvious and disturbing bugs that have been fixed with rc2, the Debian package already contains rc2.
Alle Ziele von tIRC v1.1 wurden soeben erreicht, die neue tIRC Version beinhaltet einige Bugfixes und neue Features die euren IRC Alltag versüssen werden. Der wohl lästigste Fehler der mit der neuen Version gefixed wurde, ist
Bug #157 der es unmöglich gemacht hat mit einem Channel oder Query zu interagieren, wenn der Nick oder der Channelname “Chokage” Characters wie {[]} enthalten hat. Zudem bringt tIRC v1.1 endlich User Highlighting und Tab Autovervollständigung. Um einen Gesamteindruck über das was zwischen
tIRC 1.0 und
tIRC 1.1 passiert ist, bitte das
changelog zu Rate ziehen. tIRC kann über unser
Debian depot bezogen werden oder direkt von der
tIRC gitwebsite geladen werden. Bitte beachtet, dass der erste release candidate von 1.1 einige Fehler enthält die mit rc2 ausgebessert wurden, das Debian Paket das im Depot liegt ist bereits auf dem neusten Stand.

tIRC 1.0, that is currently still under development can now be obtained in Debian package form from this website. We plan on setting up a proper Debian depot on geek\o/sphere.org too, so that you can retrieve tIRC by adding our mirror to you sources.list file. For now, please use
this link to download the package and install it using:
dpkg -i tirc_10_all.deb
Please be aware, that you will need the following packages in order to accomplish a successful installation: tcl8.5, tk8.5, tcllib, tcltls. If you want to use a modified version of tIRC, you may well do so. The current version in git features a new clp that will allow anyone to create a Debian package from the current source. Please refer to the debian/createdeb shellscript if you wish to know what exactly happens, so that your code gets properly included in the package.
tIRC 1.0, welches zur Zeit noch in der Entwicklungsphase ist, kann nun auch als Debian Paket von dieser Seite bezogen werden. Wir haben vor, in Kürze wieder ein Debian Depot auf geek\o/sphere.org einzurichten, durch welches Benutzer von tIRC in der Lage sein werden den Client direkt über apt zu laden. Bis dahin bieten wir folgenden link an, der auf das .deb verweist. Um das Paket zu installieren verwendet bitte folgende Anweisung:
dpkg -i tirc_10_all.deb
tIRC hat momentan 4 Abhängigkeiten, die vor dem Absetzten der Anweisung installiert werden sollten: tcl8.5, tk8.5, tcllib, tcltls. Falls Bedarf besteht ein Paket aus einer modifizierten tIRC Version zu erstellen, so ist dies dank dem neuen Parameter –debianize, der tIRC git Version möglich. Um zu erfahren was genau debianisiert wird sollte das bashscript debian/createdeb konsultiert werden, damit wirklich alle Teile des modifizierten Codes auch wirklich ihren Weg in das Paket finden.
UPDATE: Debian depot on mount.at and tIRC v1.0_Final

In our
IRC channel, we like to interact with various websites and projects. Ever since I saw the
Pornokasse we’re playing with possibilites to blog from our eggdrop bot. We wrote a script which creates a feed that can then be imported anywhere (see the top of the sidebar). Today i thought this could be done easier, so I wrote a twitter plugin \o/
Right now you just put your twitter username and password in the file, adjust the trigger and everyone in your channel can use it with this one account. I’m thinking about having the users deposit their own twitter accounts, so that whenever they write something like /me is freakin tired it would update their accounts. Mhh. Maybe later ;-)
Download the .tar.gz snapshot of v0.1 or just browse the source at git.geekosphere.org
By the way, if you’re using wordpress, there are a lot of plugins out there.
In unserem
IRC Kanal interagieren wir gerne mit Websites und Projekten. Seitdem ich die
Pornokasse gesehen habe spielen wir mit Möglichkeiten, aus dem Channel heraus zu bloggen. Momentan macht unser Skript aus entsprechenden Posts einfach einen RSS Feed den wir hier einbinden (siehe Sidebar). Heute mittag dachte ich aber, dass das auch einfacher gehen müsste. Mir viel Twitter ein und weil die API echt mal simpel ist habe ich schnell ein Plugin dazu geschrieben.
Im Prinzip schreibt man einfach die Twitter Zugangsdaten in die Datei, passt gegebenenfalls noch den Trigger an und jeder im Channel kann in diesen einen Account zwitschern. Ich denke darüber nach, den Usern die Möglichkeit zu geben, eigene Account Daten zu hinterlegen. Also wenn jemand dann schreibt /me geht gleich DSF gucken würde es seinen eigenen Account aktualisieren. Klingt eigentlich ganz lustig (je nach Akzeptanz im Raum). Vielleicht bau ich das die Tage noch ein ;-)
Hier gibts den .tar.gz Snapshot von v0.1, oder schaue direkt in die Quellen auf git.geekosphere.org
Übrigens, geehrte Wordpress Fans, es gibt ne Menge Plugins da draussen.
