I-bot
i-bot is a heavily customized installation of Infobot which provides services to the channel including logging of the transcript to a PostgreSQL table, some gimmicky commands, useful abilities to retreive useful information like Slashdot headlines, and weather data. It also provides some comic relief in the form of some custom commands. i-bot is used in the AcadiaGeeks IRC Channel
