    Now I'm curious about training a bot on my IRC logs from the early 2000s. It'd be like a chat time machine. I'd love to go back and bullshit with long-lost online friends about mod…

    I have an endorsement for HTML by a salesperson at a publishing company I did some IT work for during college.
