title: Imlib2-Ruby and rbot
---

<p>
I guess I forgot to announce the initial release of <a href="/software/imlib2-ruby/">Imlib2-Ruby</a>.  Apparently it's a good week for
<a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/">Ruby</a> software; <a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom</a> just released the first version of <a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/rbot/">rbot</a>, his cool all-ruby IRC bot.  I've been helping him "test" rbot a bit.  BTW in this context, "test" really means "wait until he says 'check out this new feature!', then try and make it do annoying  or malicious stuff or crash the bot".  Case in point:

<pre>
&lt;pabs&gt; rbot: remind giblet about poop every 0.1 seconds
&lt;rbot&gt; okay
*** Signoff: rbot[Excess Flood]
* pabs whistles
</pre>

Anyway, we're both in this week's Ruby News; you can check it out <a
