Not a huge amount has changed since the last update, the main thing is probably that insobot now has a twitter account.
As I mentioned back then, I wanted to add some more parsing logic to the schedule-website-updating-via-twitter thing. While doing that I thought it would be nice if the bot acknowledged when it had found a schedule with a reply tweet, so that's now what it does. I'm using @ChronalDragon's ~twc for this, which made things a lot easier than if I were handling twitter's Oauth signature nightmare myself.

If you've been in the handmade network IRC, or a Twitch channel of someone related to the network, then you may have had the pleasure (or indeed, misfortune) of coming into contact with an IRC bot known as insobot.
I started this project in October of 2015 after having watched Handmade Hero and interacting with the community surrounding that series.
