Git
Git is a Infobot, also known as Estaga's son. Git has been around on the 'private' irc network since about 2000, it's database has been transplanted through various machines throughout the years but luckily it's still alive and kicking and happily serving everybody with their queries.
Over the years several limitations have been noticed with Infobot, but luckily due to the semi-modular fashion it was written, it's quite easy to script simple add-ons to the bot, our attempt at documenting most of the modules are below. If you're more interested in 'normal' usuage of the bot (as a newbie or such) I suggest you read the offical guide here.
If you are here because of the 'AnnounceBot' in the channel, please go here
bus
(by Estaga)
This is a scripty that checks Transport for London's website for updates of any problems on bus routes, perfect for going home/to work (:
Help page:
14:53:52 <Estaga> bus help 14:53:53 <Git> Syntax is: bus <busnr>
So if you have a specific bus route:
14:53:56 <Estaga> bus N50 14:53:58 <Git> This bus route N50 has no worries!
A faulty one would look something like this:
14:54:38 <Estaga> bus N47
14:54:40 <Git> BROOKMILL ROAD :DEPTFORD: DIVERSION: From 2000 Sunday 10
September until late December, Routes 47 225 and N47 are
diverted in both directions between LEWISHAM HIGH STREET and
DEPTFORD BROADWAY/DEPTFORD CHURCH STREET, not serving Loampit
Vale, Jerrard Street, Thurston Road or Brookmill Road. Diverted
buses operate via Lewisham Road, Blackheath Road and Deptford
Bridge Station, serving all existing bus stops. Buses are
expected to experience long delays in the area.
chuck
(by sexybalrog)
Chuck grabs from the interweb a Chuck Norris fact, this script takes no arugments...
15:03:47 <Estaga> chuck
15:03:48 <Git> Sticks and stones may break your bones but Chuck Norris words
will kill you.
define
(by Estaga)
Define scrapes Google by using the "define:" keyword, this lets google look for a definition of whatever you are looking for.
Define has two modes, normal definition mode where you just enter the word(s) you want to know about - or - you can look for definitions that's like the one you entered.
Example of a normal definition:
12:25:15 <Estaga> define rate lock
12:25:15 <Git> A commitment issued by a lender to a borrower or other mortgage
originator guaranteeing a specified interest rate for a
specified period of time. | The amount of time that a lender
will guarantee a loan's interest rate. Once you've locked in the
interest rate on a loan, the lender will guarantee that rate for
a certain period of time, usually for 30, 45 or 60 days. | A
guaranteed rate of interest for a specific time frame on a
mortgage loan.
Example of like:
12:25:10 <Estaga> define like lock
12:25:10 <Git> Also have: lock-in |lock in |air lock |lock up |rate lock |lock
box |lever lock |caps lock |num lock |lock time
dial
(by Trax)
This script should say in which area or network a number belongs to, something like:
15:01:19 <Estaga> dial 2721 15:01:20 <Git> The area code for Cape Town in Western Cape Peninsula is +2721
[edit]
distance
(by Estaga)
A quick hack to find the distance between one UK postcode to another, this uses Google Maps to figure it out. Postcodes should not have its usual spaces when being entered.
14:13:33 <Estaga> distance E122SX WA139WE
14:13:35 <Git> Google says that by car from E122SX to WA139WE should be 197 miles
(about 4 hours 18 mins)
[edit]
dlr
(by Estaga)
Simple script to check the Transport for London's webpage for any problems on the Docklands Light Rail line, this command takes no arguments, example:
14:57:01 <Estaga> dlr 14:57:03 <Git> Good service in operation.
[edit]
(by Estaga)
Sends email to specified address with specified text. There are some antispam measures built in and this is being watched for spammers! Syntax is:
<Estaga> email example@example.com this is a example email sent via Git <Git> Mail sent successfully to example@example.com
The receiver will get a e-mail saying which nickname at which time said what and how to respond in-case it's SPAM.
[edit]
exchange
(by Estaga)
Exchanges one currency to another, I replaced the infobot built-in script with mine as it had some hassles. Currencies must be their shorened 3-character symbols. It gets this exchange information from Xe.com.
<Estaga> exchange 1 GBP to ZAR <Git> 1.00 United Kingdom Pounds = 11.5729 South Africa Rand at 2005.09.15 07:19:28 UTC.
<Estaga> exchange 1 GBP to EUR <Git> 1.00 United Kingdom Pounds = 1.48709 Euro at 2005.09.15 07:19:28 UTC.
<Estaga> exchange 1 USD to ZAR <Git> 1.00 United States Dollars = 6.38058 South Africa Rand at 2005.09.15 07:20:28 UTC.
[edit]
geoip
(by Estaga)
Uses the 'geoiplookup' program to figure out in which country a DNS name or IP address is.
<Estaga> geoip www.cnn.com <Git> GeoIP Country Edition: US, United States <Estaga> geoip 196.25.1.1 <Git> GeoIP Country Edition: ZA, South Africa
[edit]
googlecalc
(by Estaga)
Does Google Calculations (really does a google.com search but will only reply if the google calculator was used), this is the preffered way to do some calculations as the built-in infobot one is rather limited.
<Estaga> googlecalc 1 cubic lightyear in imperial tablespoons <Git> Google says: 1 (cubic lightyear) = 4.76812836 × 10^52 Imperial
<Estaga> googlecalc 1 byte per second in megabits per year <Git> Google says: 1 (byte per second) = 240.760238 megabits per year
[edit]
googlewhack
(by Estaga)
Performs a Googlewhack search on google.com.
<Estaga> googlewhack binary entropy <Git> Googlewhack for: binary entropy = 1,400,000 results
[edit]
gspell
(by sexybalrog)
Uses google.com to see if a word is spelt correctly, eg.
15:03:06 <Estaga> gspell zimbabwa 15:03:09 <Git> Google decrees that you're looking for zimbabwe
[edit]
ipcalc
(by Estaga)
IpCalc is to calculate the minimum/maximum hosts in a subnet, some other functionality will propably be added once more is needed *grin*. Syntax:
14:34:10 <Estaga> ipcalc help 14:34:25 <Git> git: ipcalc 192.168.1.0/24
So, min and max usuable ip's on the above subnet would be:
14:43:01 <Estaga> ipcalc 192.168.1.0/24 14:43:02 <Git> HostMinMax: 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.254
[edit]
jokes
(by Trax)
Grabs a joke from some online resource, this script takes no arguments:
15:09:43 <Estaga> jokes 15:09:44 <Git> What do you call two banana peelings? A PAIR OF SLIPPERS
It also has a adult-themed dirty version, called like this:
14:38:24 <Estaga> jokes dirty
14:38:24 <Git> "The length of a film should be directly related to the
endurance of the human bladder." Alfred Hitchcock.
[edit]
jse
(by Estaga)
Queries the Johannesburg Stock Exchange for current USD,GBP & EUR rates.
<Estaga> jse common <Git> JSE Reports at: Thu Sep 15 2005 09:12:44 | the Dollar at 6.3926 UP 0.54% Pound 11.6050 UP 0.24% Euro 7.8030 UP 0.34%
This script is rather dated but still works, the 'exchange' script gets used usually in its place.
[edit]
mac
(by Estaga)
MAC checks online what vendor the given MAC address belongs to, example:
14:59:06 <Estaga> mac 00:16:3E:04:4B:E1 14:59:08 <Git> ID: 00163E VENDOR: Xensource, Inc.

[edit]
mr-t
(by Estaga stolen from sexybalrog's script)
Mr-T grabs from the interweb a Mr-T fact, this script takes no arugments...
14:27:57 <Estaga> mr-t
14:27:58 <Git> There are 5 births a second. There are 1.8 deaths a second. Mr.
T pities 3 fools a second.
[edit]
news
(by Estaga)
This script goes to news.google.com and searches whatever term you give it,
14:44:36 <Estaga> news nuclear korea
14:44:37 <Git> Cape Cod Times, MA - 2 hours ago ... We need to prevent a
nuclear North Korea, Abe said.
[edit]
nslookup
(by Estaga)
This replaces the built-in infobot one due to some historical errors in the script - syntax as you can guess is just a hostname:
14:58:32 <Estaga> nslookup www.bbc.co.uk 14:58:34 <Git> www.bbc.co.uk is an alias for www.bbc.net.uk.
[edit]
ping
(by Estaga)
I ripped out the internal infobot ping so I can do better pings (that work) so here is the syntax:
14:32:01 <Estaga> ping help 14:32:02 <Git> git: ping <hostname|ip>
So,
14:32:49 <Estaga> git: ping www.bbc.co.uk
14:33:36 <Git> www.bbc.co.uk: 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet
loss, time 25002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev =

For example, the difference between two times:
14:30:26 <Estaga> tcalc 14:00-13:00 14:30:28 <Git> 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes and 0.000000 seconds
Or, if you need to get to a place at 14:00 and it takes you 2h30mins to get there what time to leave?
14:30:38 <Estaga> tcalc 14:00 + -2:30 14:30:40 <Git> 2006-10-09 11:30:00.00

Uncylcopedia looks up the argument(s) on the Uncyclopedia site, much like the Wikipedia plugin.
Example:
15:05:19 <Estaga> uncyclopedia george bush
15:05:20 <Git> I do not care about a man who cannot perform his duties nor
restrain his retardisms.

lefty. I'm proud to be a Bush Democrat! Bush Democrats ROCK!
[edit]
weather
(by Estaga updated by Shadow)
I ripped out the weather.com module that comes with infobot and replaced it with my own one, the database of city names it uses gets inserted by hand, but on the plus side, you can have friendly names.
<Estaga> weather london
<Git> Updated Sep 30 04:20, at London, United Kingdom it's Mostly Cloudy
and is 18.8 C, it feels like 18.8 with wind From SW at 11.2 km/h
and visibility of 9.9 km
It also supports a prediction for tomorrow's weather with the keyword "tomorrow", although I need to figure out metric conversion for this middleofsentence ones still :P
<Estaga> weather london tomorrow
<Git> London, United Kingdom tomorrow: Partly cloudy. High near 60F.
Winds W at 10 to 15 mph.

webserver
(by Estaga)
Simple script that connects to destination machine on port 80 and gives a invalid HTTP command, this usually results in the server identifying itself, help syntax says:
14:49:44 <Estaga> webserver help
14:49:45 <Git> Syntax is: webserver <hostname> - I will then connect to that
webserver and try and find out what it is running for you
Example:
14:49:46 <Estaga> webserver www.cnn.com 14:49:53 <Git> www.cnn.com says: Apache
