Logotron Genesis.
Aug. 2021 Update #5 : billymg fixed broken chan list box reflow in certain browsers.
Aug. 2021 Update #4 : billymg's current-channel highlighting fix; and channel selector table can now reflow to fit screen width.
Aug. 2021 Update #3 : Allow marking certain channels as archived to improve DB performance.
Aug. 2021 Update #2 : All Freenode-specific code phased out. The current item is known to work with UnrealIRCd and may work elsewhere.
Aug. 2021 Update #1 : Billymg contributed front-end optimizations and a theme pack.
May. 2021 Fix : Received a tip from reader Whaack that vpatch searchpg_oldlinks had been inadvertently generated with old SHA512 vdiff; regenned, signed, reposted.
Aug. 2020 Update #2: Additional 'back' and 'forward' buttons at the bottom of search result pages. Fixed era 1/2 link diddler regexps to handle all (AFAIK) known variants correctly.
Aug. 2020 Update #1: Paginated search; automatic replacement of ancient logger link targets; fix for unicode barf in eat_dump.py.
July 2020 Update #3: Automatically skip empty days in date navigation bar. At the same time, handle empty days correctly when these are requested. Handle 'dawn of time' case for any given channel, to avoid infinite loop insanity from search engines.
July 2020 Update #2: Fixed minor mistake in earlier update. Added "Search all chans" button.
July 2020 Update #1: Hide inactive chans (configurable # of days) by default. Example Apache-WSGI config. Added a WWW-IRC client link. Updated html template to reflect item presently in use.
Oct. 7 Update: Removed experimental attempt to use "shlex" for support of double-quoted search (it broke parsing of single quotes in search strings.)
Oct. 4 Update: Introduced adjustable detector of bot disconnection. Removed broken Tape knob in reader.
Oct. 3 Update: Bvt's bot fixes; errata for Sept. 28 patch.
Sept. 28 Update: Added Diana Coman's IRSSI eater patch. Several bot and reader improvements, see README.TXT.

FTR, I would still like to see Phf publish his technologically-superior logotron when he comes out of his illness. Mine is a rather crude wartime production.
Dear Stan,
As I understand from reading the genesis, the logotron backend (the IRC bot) is single-threaded and only responds to IRC PING messages with PONG, it does not actively send PINGs -- unlike Trinque's Ircbot, which runs a dedicated "pinger" thread for this purpose.
On one hand I find this to be a great approach due to its simplicity -- and I suspect the lack of proper reconnect in Ircbot *might* be a concurrency issue, i.e. the bot sending/receiving PING/PONG concurrently with other messages (or are the socket/CL stream ops atomic?).
On the other hand, I've run this "passive" (only waiting for PING) single-threaded type irctron in the past, only to find out Fleanode itself does not send PINGs at regular intervals, and might end up disconnecting the bot because of this. So I'm very curious to see how the new logotron backend holds up; and if so, I could end up rewriting it in CL at some point.
Dear spyked,
Indeed it is single-threaded, and so there is no possibility of a concurrent send.
Thus far it is difficult to say whether this method is The Right Thing, the bot has been live for less than a week. Presently all of the disconnects have been from planned knob-turns, I killed the process by hand each time.
Feel free to rewrite in CL or whatever else, and experiment with the result (e.g. try it on a box where you yank out the LAN cable, for simple test of reconnects.) The algo is just about as simple as it could be.
Yours,
-S
One problem with the single thread is if the bot is issued a command that requires it to crunch some numbers for a while, it will fail to respond to the server's pong message in time, causing a disconnect.
Dear whaack,
This is entirely true, and if you have such a command, you will need a queuing mechanism for its I/O.
Yours,
-S
