Over on /f/ruby, we're having lots of fun talking about ... #ruby. The nice thing about chainbb is that threads are presented by activity. It's not uncommon for old threads to return to the discussion.
I've attached benefactor rewards on this post for @ethandsmith and @orionsbelt, since they're featured here.
In case you missed out on the discussion, here's what we've been up to lately:
- Using monit to manage bots by @inertia - I started this thread because I get the question a lot about running a bot or script without being connected in the terminal. In a pinch, you can use
screenortmux, but if you want to do it right, usemonit. Maybe I'll do another thread onm/monitwhich allows you to manage multiple machines in a single web interface. - Dr. Smith.rb - A Curation Trail Bot That Deals in Absolutes by @ethandsmith - A nicely written thread detailing how to tweak Dr. Doogie's voting weight. I'm really hoping this kind of thing happens more and more. In fact, while it's all well and good for @utopian-io to help us with GitHub (which is awesome), I think we can probably use chainbb for gists.
- Cat Facts by @inertia - It's now three months old, but still an active thread. Some people have gotten a little bit angry at poor @catfacts. But that's ok. That's the joke.
- Tutorial - How to run Luckyluke by @orionsbelt - I refer to orionsbelt's tutorials rather frequently when people ask me for help. That might have contributed to it's activity, even four months after he posted it.
Anyway, as you can see, /f/ruby is where it's at. Hope to see you there!!
