Tenibot…a draft post.

Aptly named after a crush at that time (early 2011). I think i was becoming to like her and since i was too lazy to think of a better name i just went with that.

Enter…Tenibot, A GTalk chat bot that helps you look up words from the dictionary in real time. All you need to do is add tenibot@appspot.com to your contact. Send a word. Get the meaning back in seconds.

At the time of creation, i was experimenting with XMPP and stumbled upon an easy to follow Google App Engine/XMPP tutorial. Fortunately, there was some SOAP Dictionary web service so I consumed.

Source Code: Here

To Do:  Improve the code on some weekend – See if we can do a nice mobile client. Now that i think of it I don’t have a dictionary on my Blackberry (should look up something good on AppWorld – if i used my BB for much other than BBM, twitter & testing apps).

Side-Comment: Showed this app to my “crush”, her attempt at faking “IMPRESSED” didn’t impress me. The life of a programmer 😦

My favorite Tenibot word: Love.It defines it as:

LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.

Err…the end. ^_^
