Step 1: I copied the LogBot code into local files, and tried running it.
And the code is pretty much that, with a few extra lines ... a copy and paste job. It really isn't difficult to write an IRC bot using the standard library ... here's my shit one that sits in ##javascript: https://github.com/pigdude/pigbot
Edit: I became more curious about what the author works on -- by the favicon, I thought she must be involved with the Debian project! Turns out "Dreamwidth Studios" thought that flipping the Debian logo was an original idea. Digging just a little deeper on the Dreamwidth site makes it seem that the author mostly works on documentation and things like that. So I guess it makes sense that the code is copypasta?
