Kon version 1.2.0 release

Kon with the Twitter Client is now out!

Version 1.2.0.

• Added the ability for Kon to send messages to Twitter. Right now this uses the LB Brain to construct a random sentence and send it up to a twitter account. You will need to add the following to your config file if you want to use this feature: <usetwitter>true</usetwitter>
  <twitterusername>your twitter user name goes here</twitterusername>
  <twitterpassword>your twitter password goes here</twitterpassword>
  It should send a new message initially upon connecting to the IRC server and again around every hour/hour and a half afterwards
• Added a new console command. /TwitterInfo Will display information about the built-in twitter client. This may be expanded in the future.
• Added a new USER-LEVEL command: !twitter The command will return the current twitter status (if twitter client is on and in use).

Kon version 1.2.0 note

Kon is now on Twitter! I'll probably post the binaries to the new version that has the Twitter client built-in as soon as I'm sure it's working correctly.

But yeah! Kon can now connect to Twitter and send a random line that it generates. What's the point of it? Well, no real point other than to say I did it. That and if you ever wanna follow a chatterbot now's your chance to do so. You might see some strange lines. Some may be coherent and others might be downright strange. After all, it's generating completely random lines based on content it has seen in my IRC channel.

I'm waiting for the day Kon generates a "yo dawg!" message and sends it off to Twitter. That'll make my night.

I've got it set so that Kon updates his twitter approximately every hour but I think it's really updating closer to an hour and a half. I'll have to look at that sometime later.
