  <body>&lt;p&gt;This blog is powered by a custom blog engine I wrote in Rails. I call it bbot as an homage to my favorite Ruby irc bot, &lt;a href=&quot;http://ruby-rbot.org/&quot;&gt;rbot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I built bbot for two reasons: I wanted to build a completely RESTful application from scratch and I was tired of wrangling with Wordpress. bbot is simple; it does exactly want I need and nothing more. It supports all the basic blogging features: posts, comments, moderating, drafts, permalinks, etc. plus non-post static page (e.g. my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mrchucho.net/pages/about&quot;&gt;about&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve decided to make bbot available on github: &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/mrchucho/bbot/tree/master&quot;&gt;http://github.com/mrchucho/bbot/tree/master&lt;/a&gt;. This way I hope to learn more about git &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; share bbot with anyone who might be interested.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
  <body-raw>This blog is powered by a custom blog engine I wrote in Rails. I call it bbot as an homage to my favorite Ruby irc bot, &quot;rbot&quot;:http://ruby-rbot.org/.

I've decided to make bbot available on github: &quot;http://github.com/mrchucho/bbot/tree/master&quot;:http://github.com/mrchucho/bbot/tree/master. This way I hope to learn more about git _and_ share bbot with anyone who might be interested.
