Fresh Revival

Hi Folks!

It is pleasure for me to announce that Quickbot is up again after such a long period of time.

The last problem I have to face is that main hosting server is offline and I have no idea when it will be online. However, I can run Quickbot on my home PC as well. The only limitation of home hosting is that I can't make agent to be online at nights for some reasons. Hopefully I will find a good server soon, but for now it works in Moscow daylight time [GMT +3].

New translation pairs:

enar / aren [text]: Arabic <-> English

hien / enhi [text]: Hindi <-> English

prsp / sppr [text]: Portuguese <> Spanish

spit / itsp [text]: Italian <> Spanish

Functions:

Function email is now renamed to send [to] [msg].

New functions are still in beta testing and they are not going to be published right now. Stay tuned for a new functions!

However, old functions are working perfectly ;)

Soon I am going to update Quickbot website, correct Spanish translation and add Portuguese translation.

If you want to be immediately notified about new functions, you can subscribe to Quickbot Blog RSS (http://feeds.feedburner.com/QuickbotBlog).

The bot ID is still the same — bot@techie.com.
