QOTDD : `Quote of the Day Daemon` A QOTD server for nerds
|
|
|
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QOTDD is an implementation of RFC 865: the Quote of the Day Protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
It's simple, really:
|
|
|
|
|
* User connects to server with raw TCP connection
|
|
|
|
|
* Server sends back today's quote
|
|
|
|
|
* User smiles
|
|
|
|
|
* Server disconnects user
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Heck, QOTDD even comes with a couple quote files for you to start with!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tested on GNU CLISP. <3

|
|
|
|
|
USAGE
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
To start QOTDD, just fire up your Lisp interpreter, load :qotdd, and run it!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[1]> (ql:quickload :qotdd)
|
|
|
|
|
[2]> (qotdd:server :path "/usr/games/qotdd/2018"
|
|
|
|
|
:host "127.0.0.1"
|
|
|
|
|
:port "1117")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This assumes that you can load :qotdd with Quicklisp
|
|
|
|
|
(https://beta.quicklisp.org/), and that you've installed the defaults QOTD
|
|
|
|
|
sets (in "./qotd_sets/") to "/usr/games/qotdd/".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use Quicklisp to load QOTDD, just install it (https://beta.quicklisp.org/),
|
|
|
|
|
then put QOTDD in `~/quicklisp/local-projects/`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The dependencies of QOTDD are NIH, a general-bleh library I've written-- which
|
|
|
|
|
can be found at `https://git.eunichx.us/nih/`-- and USOCKETS, which can be
|
|
|
|
|
installed from Quicklisp as `:usockets`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
File Format
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
The file-format of QOTDD quote sets is *exactly* like the format BSD fortune
|
|
|
|
|
uses-- that is, a single text-file with several "%" seperated sections.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, there is *one* difference to the BSD fortune format-- that is, at some
|
|
|
|
|
point in each section, there should be a specified date, using this format:
|
|
|
|
|
":Date YYYY-MM-DD"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That listing is how QOTDD determines which quote to pick for which day.
|
|
|
|
|
If there is no quote for today, then QOTDD picks a random quote (so, I guess,
|
|
|
|
|
if you used a Fortune file, you could use QOTDD as a simple random-fortune
|
|
|
|
|
server!).
