So my mate Ben, senior uber developer at Mind Candy has written this here thing called PrakBot.
It goes a bit like this:
Take, say, Skype
(in fact, don’t take Skype. Its API is pants and requires you to run a fucking client, the full client, in order to do anything. Use something more sensible, like Jabber)

I completely forgot to post a reminder about this ahead of time - the night before (only just) isn’t really enough warning, but at least I did post about the talk I’m doing at the Cheltenham Science Festival about a month ago.
Anyway: I’ll be speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival this year at Virtually Nowhere […]
I gave a short talk about ARGs and Perplex City at the PSFK London Conference last Friday (1 June 2007). It was one of the shortest talks that I’ve ever done - only about 30 minutes - and as with most talks where the majority of the audience is unfamiliar with ARGs, one where the […]

Part game, story and treasure hunt, alternate reality games introduce people to a world of creative play, skywriting, online games, phone calls, radio broadcasts, secret websites, blogs, texts, coded adverts, emails, hidden audio files and helicopter chases. What you need […]
So the London geek games night I organised a month or so back went pretty well, and rather than let a good thing die, I thought it’d be a good idea to keep it going. We had a great time, so we’re back - tomorrow night. Alice has already blogged this (thanks, Alice!), but if […]
