I am currently trying to create an IRC bot out of my old linksys router. Ive been on efnet #netradio for 7+ years , and have now been given the responsibly as an op in the channel. Thus to prevent the 'op-less channel' issue. Which had occured.
While brushing up on all my operator/admin commands I visited a fellow radio irc guy. And was playing around with their bot. (robot setup to do automated tasks) like automatilcy Op or Voice a user. I got intrested, created my own. bot's name is eq_Guard. Its doing ok, but lives in mIRC on a computer.
While searching around more, I learn about eggdrop, a irc bot program that would replace mIRC. Only thing is I need to find a home for the eggdrop to live. I can rent out a place online for $5 a month. or create my own. Yea would be subjected to power outages in my home. But would be free.
I have heard I can use my old linksys router to do the job. but its a WRT54G version 5 router. Which nolonger has the proper linux operation on it to do what I need it to do.
My point of this post is to describe to you in a metaphore what this whole experence has been like to me. I thought this would be very easy. But now into the third day, my brain has crashed, and I think I am on the verge of 'bricking' my mind.
[17:23] eqrunner: fail!
[17:24] eqrunner: not the only fail today
[17:24] eqrunner: haveing a hellof a time getting any answers from the web
[17:24] eqrunner: flashed the router with dd-wrt linux firmware
[17:25] eqrunner: but due to my linksys router being a WRT54g version 5, its got a different base
[17:25] eqrunner: so i was forced to use only the micro version of dd-wrt
[17:25] eqrunner: but i cant find a compairsion anywhere between micro and their 'normal'
[17:26] eqrunner: cuase i have done the SD card mod to the router
[17:26] eqrunner: but dd-wrt isnt finding it
[17:27] eqrunner: its becoming one
[17:28] eqrunner: just when i think im making a break through
[17:28] eqrunner: i get that 'oh by the way' sindrome
[17:29] eqrunner: like shovlin snow..
[17:29] eqrunner: look at radar, see clear skys for the next week..
[17:29] eqrunner: go out to shovel that 1 in of snow off..
[17:29] eqrunner: haft way there you notice another 2 inches has fall while you were snowing
[17:30] eqrunner: you finish off to the end of the driveway and the snow plow comes and throws all that slushy gray crap all over your driveway
[17:30] eqrunner: so you begin working on that when you see that the extra 2 inches has melted then frozen over leaving a layer of ice
[17:31] eqrunner: and by the time your done with the snow plow stuff, another 3 inches has fallen
[17:31] eqrunner: while pushing that 3 inches off the icelayer, the snow plow has made another pass
[17:32] eqrunner: and thats where i am at this point
[17:32] eqrunner: standing on a layer of ice, staring at what the snow plow just added while another inch of snow accumlates on my head
[17:33] eqrunner: im about to go inside and get a cup of hot choloclate and say screw it
