MeNow Bot
The MeNow bot is a tool for storing information about yourself according to the Me Now schema. It supports a number of commands to store information about yourself that other people can then use. Syntax is described below. Source is available, and I am still working on developing more features, albeit slowly.
- add <predicate> <object> - add a meNow object, with an "object" string.
- forget <predicate> - forget the predicate
- <nick> now - current predicates stored about nick
- menow - current status of you
- recent - recent predicates added
- recent users - recent users of the system, by nick
- alias <nick> - alias multiple nicks together, so that predicates added via AIM or IRC are kept equivilant
- foaf <url> - add your FOAF URL to the system. Used best with the menow web browser, which then uses the FOAF url and XSLT to display your FOAF information, in addition to the menow information.
Predicates are the stable menow properties:
- browsing
- camImage
- chatting
- game
- gameNick
- gamingAt
- isWith
- liking
- listeningTo
- located
- moImage
- moblogging
- mood
- moodIcon
- planning
- reading
- status
- statusIcon
- thinking
- vacation
- watching
- workingOn
- writing
The bot runs on the Freenode IRC network, as menow, at irc.freenode.net. It also runs on AIM as menowbot.
