Today has been reasonably productive at work! I actually fixed a bug entirely by accident while investigating another issue. I thought it might fix the issue I was investigating, but it just happened to work out. I'm pretty damn pleased with that. There's still the problem with getting it to do the thing I set out to originally. Also, I don't think I've covered the latest feature of caffbot in a little while, so here's what's new!
- Added a !podcast command, to get a suggested podcast from my list of favorites
- Added a !caffsongs command to get a song I've suggested in my ttbp ramblings.
- Added !wtfsimfd, to let you know what to make for dinner. (Thanks for the binary ~desvox!)
- Added !sayhello, which should say hi in various fashions/languages.
- Added !polyphasic for information on various sleep cycles. (Still need to write some help pages for that particular command!)
More commands will be coming soon as well!

This isn't that important to know, but it's something cool I enjoy talking about people with. I used to run a music blog, and had a tiny little "radio show", on an internet radio station. I heard a lot of great artists, some well known, some much more obscure, but when I hear a song by someone that I used to listen to during my music blogging days, I get pretty damn excited. The most exciting "discovery" I made was Glass Animals. I'm fairly sure they were already well on their way to stardom, and I guarantee I had nothing to do with it, but there is something a bit magical about hearing an artist "before they were cool", to put it in hipster terminology. Another artist I fell in love with during my blogging days was RAC, who has since been nominated for a Grammy for their remix of Say My Name by ODESZA. Every remix and original they put out is astoundingly great, at least in my opinion, and I'd like to share a few of their songs with you today.
Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World (RAC Mix)
Panic! At The Disco - Victorious (RAC Mix)
Chromeo - Bonafied Lovin' (RAC Remix)
RAC - Cheap Sunglasses (feat. Matthew Koma)
RAC - Let Go (feat. Kele & MNDR)
Two Door Cinema Club - Next Year (RAC Mix)
Enjoy!

I know there was already one caffbot post today, but one more command made it in
that I definitely want to share sooner, rather than later. You can now get more
song suggestions by running !desvoxmusic, which will pull from ~desvox's amazing
music sharing system. If you want to contribute to the recommendations from
their system, you can run ~desvox/bin/music, and follow the instructions!
~desvox even integrated CLI-based YouTube search, so you can link to your song
without ever leaving the CLI.
