Pingo is back
« on: August 06, 2009, 02:39:12 am »
Hello everybody,

Those who linked Pingo will be pleased: it's back on IRC, It's not on #planeshift anymore, so it doesn't get banned again by its mortal enemies (you know who you are :) ). It now has its own channel at #planeshift_serverwatch

For those who don't know who Pingo is, it's an IRC bot that watches the status of the server and keeps statistics of server uptime and player presence. If you idle in its channel, it'll also warn you when the server's status changes in real time, so you don't have to keep watching the infamous "wait" moment in your client to rush back in and get your fix.

I reset the stats counters since it hasn't run for well over a year, so it has no meaningful stats to offer at the moment, but give it some time and it'll probably end up giving some useful information after a while.

I never had a problem with pingo only the muppets that would login one after the other and ping pingo the minute the server went down

[13:51] <Pingo> Server is down
[13:51] == Muppet 1 joined #planeshift []
[13:51] <Muppet 1> pingo ping
[13:51] <Pingo> Server is down
[13:51] == Muppet 1 quit []
[13:51] == Muppet 2 joined #planeshift []
[13:51] <Muppet 2> pingo ping
[13:52] <Pingo> Server is down
[13:52] == Muppet 2 quit []
[13:52] == Muppet 3 joined #planeshift []
[13:52] <Muppet 3> pingo ping
[13:53] <Pingo> Server is down
[13:53] == Muppet 3 quit []
[13:53] == Muppet 4 joined #planeshift []
[13:53] <Muppet 4> pingo ping
[13:54] <Pingo> Server is down
[13:54] == Muppet 4 quit []
[13:54] == Muppet 1 joined #planeshift []
[13:54] <Muppet 1> pingo ping

Relax Hoki, I never said you were one of Pingo's mortal enemies :) Only Pingo knows who wronged him, and he is not one to forget easily. Those he has grudges against should fear his wrath! Myself, I hardly dare touch on the subject with him, as years of muppet abuse seem to have left him rather mentally unstable...

Pingo can now be found in #planeshift under the request he (it?) not be abused.

Thank you to Pingo's creator.

Sorry to revive this thread, but...

For those who have been asking me to release the Pingo source code, sorry for the long wait. You can grab it here: http://myspace.voo.be/pcoupard/planeshift/pingo-1.3.tar.gz
