NAME

App::IRCBot::NewYears - A bot for IRC New Years parties

RELEASE NOTICE

PLEASE NOTE: this release was hastily coded and several bugs crept out while the bot ran. In particular, there was something about several European time zones being off by an hour (summer time, etc). Then there's also a bug where the bot breaks before (or after) the New Years in the bot's time zone.

Since this code won't be used for the next 11 months, I'm not going to bother hunting and fixing those bugs at the moment. Will return to this code circa December 2014 :)

SYNOPSIS

#### Command line arguments currently do not work; #### Channel/server are currently hardcoded To run (script installs along with the module):

zoffix@ZofMain:~$ app-ircbot-newyears.pl irc.SERVER.org #Channel

IRC Commands:

HNYBot,

DESCRIPTION

The bot announces five minutes prior to the upcoming New Year, for 40 different time zones. At the announcements, it lists a few countries/cities in the announced time zone.

The bot can also be queries with a name of a particular place to find out when the New Year will happen there (as long as Google can figure out the time for that place).
