Has anyone ever thought about using their hal on an IRC channel? I was just thinking that it would be interesting to get a bunch of hals onto an IRC channel talking to each other and see what sort of chaos comes out of it. I've seen code snippets somewhere around here demonstrating how to send messages to hal from another program using visual basic, and it probably wouldn't be that hard to feed messages from an IRC channel to your hal. Just random musings on my part as I don't know if anyone here uses IRC.
