That's pretty cool, Laura :)

I'd like to point out that noisebot, the chat robot in #noisebridge,
provides ruby reference information if you ask it nicely.  It's the
same as the "ri" command in a typical ruby distribution:

18:31 <dr_jesus> ri puts

18:31 <noisebot> More than one method matched your request. You can
refine  your search by asking for information on one of:
Net::WriteAdapter#puts, Net::Telnet#puts, Zlib::GzipWriter#puts,
IRB::Locale#puts, IRB::OutputMethod#puts,
IRB::Notifier::AbstructNotifier#puts, IO#puts, StringIO#puts,
XMP#puts, XMP::StringInputMethod#puts, Kernel#puts

18:31 <dr_jesus> ri IO#puts

18:31 <noisebot> IO#puts  ios.puts(obj, ...)  => nil  Writes the given
objects to _ios_ as with +IO#print+. Writes a  record separator
(typically a newline) after any that do not  already end with a
newline sequence. If called with an array  argument, writes each
element on a new line. If called without  arguments, outputs a single
record separator.  $stdout.puts("this", "is", "a", "test")
_produces:_  this  is  a  test

It also supports plugins, in case anyone has a new trick they'd like
to teach the robot to do:
