More About The NewzBotNewzBot is an IRC chat bot that is actually an RSS newsreader. If you use Internet Explorer as your favorite web browser, you probably don't know what this is. Microsoft won't support RSS natively in their web browser until version 7, which ships with their new operating system called Vista. The NewzBot, meanwhile, pulls news content from a number of sources and presents it into the chat room channel #NewzRoom, at your command!

Microsoft Chat in Comics Mode and Page Not FoundMicrosoft (Comic) Chat in Comics Mode displays the chat conversation as a comic strip. Traditionally, a comic strip's characters (or in the computer's case: font) are all upper case. This change of the case of the font causes the Page Not Found errors. Some web servers care about the case sensitivity of pages in the URLs, whereas others do not. CNN's web server, however, does care. Nothing can be done to solve this in Comics Mode. Comic Chatters will have to visit the #NewzRoom in Text Mode, where everything works just ducky. |
