Updates and Streaming this Friday
So because I haven't posted in a while, I do have a couple things I would like to mention, and just throw out a couple updates.
For one, I'm still on Ubuntu. =) I deleted my Windows partition about a month ago, even though I'm contemplating putting it back on the 80GB to play some games on, of course.
So, what can you probably expect in the near future? In about a couple weeks I will be giving my thoughts on Ubuntu 10.10 when thats released, also to note I will be going 64-bit again! =) About half a month ago when IE9 beta was released Adobe decided to come out with Adobe Flash Player Square, which has support for 64-bit on All three platforms, OS X, Windows, AAAAAAND Linux. 
I am definitely excited to go back to 64-bit once Ubuntu 10.10 is released.
And of course, as the title of this blog post mentions, I WILL be streaming this Friday. After a little bit of thinking, for about a few weeks I'm gonna give streaming every Friday night and doing a show a trial and see how that goes. If it goes well, and I get a good amount of Interest, I WILL continue doing it every Friday night, if not, then oh well, I might still do it. I will make a note of what time I plan on doing that, probably doing the evening.
A few updates on the IRC channel.. CondyBot is current down for the moment. Until I can get another machine to put CondyBot (that uses very little energy and is quiet), I will have somebody else running an IRC bot. Thanks to Dan/Grimreaper on that one.
Another thing that I have setup recently is a Teamspeak server that I set up for personal use, a few friends, and it also serves as the Backup Server for the This Week In Linux Teamspeak server.
And as a final note, as you may have noticed there are a few posts on this blog that were not written by me, that is because I have decided to allow FlamingLinux, someone I have met from the TWIL Community, to do blog posts on Linux related topics every now and then. 
Anyway, thanks for reading, please check later for a specific time on when I will be doing the stream this Friday, subscribe (As I normally say) to get updates on future blog posts/content, also you can follow my on Twitter which is @condoulo, and subscribe to the youtube channel Condoulo (Which I will be putting the shows up on). Until Next Time,

Late Post – IRC Bot
Ok, I know, this post is coming a day late, I've been a bit forgetful on some of this stuff lately.
Anyway, I've been messing w/ the IRC bot in my IRC channel, named CondyBot. To start out with I only had CondyBot as a Topic/RSS bot, but I decided to add some functions to it Today!
!trout *nickhere* = has CondyBot slap somebody w/ a Trout
!WinME *nickhere* = has CondyBot slap somebody w/ a Copy of Windows ME
!trade *nickhere* = has that person trade their computer w/ some random nick.
^ for those three if you don't put in a nickname it will slap you w/ a Trout, copy of Windows ME, or force you to trade your computer w/ somebody.
Some other more useful ones I've added are:
!latestpost = will post my latest blog post
!google *searchtermhere* = searches Google, used a google script I found somewhere.
!weather *zipcodhere* = displays the current weather information for your location.
!forecast *zipcodehere* = displays a 5 day forcast for your location
(Edit: The Weather and Forecast triggers are all part of one script I got from here.)
!live = links to my live page
!blog = links to the home page of this web-site
!kbotspam *nickhere* = allows those that are hop and above to kick somebody for abusing the bot (I'll add a !kbbotspam trigger later, maybe).
I believe thats it. If you want to chat about just whatever w/ the people in my IRC channel, or want to have fun w/ the bot (w/o abusing the commands too much, otherwise you'll be kicked), stop by #condoulo on irc.geekshed.net. You can either use web clients like the Geekshed client or Mibbit, or you can use desktop IRC clients such as mIRC, IceChat, xChat, KVIRC, Konversation, Colloquy, Linkinus, etc.
The question for Today's blog post happens to be: Wheres your IRC channel located, do you have a bot in it, and how many people on average do you get? Please answer in the posts comments!
Anyway, thanks for reading, subscribe to the Blogs RSS feed using your favorite RSS reader/client, and be sure to check back Monday for a new post!
