Re: Nimrod

[Allan Pinto <allan316@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brenton
do you know of any tutorials on nimrod, other than the ones on the
nimrod website, for eg, i would love it if you explain your irc bot .
i learnt bash because of slitaz, what started as trying to make
packages ended up teaching me a lot and i now run several scripts
which use /dev/tcp in bash, to troubleshoot and map my ospf network ,
but it is slow
that is why i would like to learn nimrod, ( have never been able to
pickup ruby/ python etc)
