So today I spent some time writing up an irc bot (using node-irc) that lets you do node.js api lookups from an irc channel.

There are some small kludges because some parts of the api are treated specially. I’ve also had to make some modifications in a couple places in node.js’s api.markdown so that it can be parsed a little better.

I’ll probably be publishing the bot to github sometime soon, but I’d like to add some currently missing features yet before that happens.
