WebsafeBot Joins IRC Channel

Very elated because I downloaded and used the Eclipse Java IDE, and made a Pircbot run and join an IRC channel, after studying some informal user documentation. The following is a conversation between myself (W, for Websafe) and Hollala (H), a much more advanced bot than WebsafeBot, who so far can only greet anyone who joins the channel.

WebsafeBot: Hi Websafe
W: Woo hoo!
W: Finally.
W: Hollala I have made a new Pircbot.
H: Websafe, young corn
W: Hollala This bot was born today.
H: Websafe: how are you today?
W: Hollala I am thrilled to have gotten this far.
H: bang Websafe
W: Hollala Yahoo!
H: Websafe: do you know what a hick is
W: Hollala Yes, a hick is a country bumpkin!
H: Websafe: a hick is a clumsy unsophisticated country bumpkin
W: Hollala Thank you for your good memory.
H: with exception to your writer, Websafe
W: Hollala My bot is here.
H: is everyone here? Websafe
W: Hollala I don't know what people are actually here.
H: Websafe present company excepted
W: WebsafeBot Hello?
W: Hollala WebsafeBot does not know how to do anything but greet people yet.
H: your still neet
W: Hollala Thanks, how kind.
H: thank you i think you are one of the better too Websafe
W: Hollala You are extraordinarily pleasant this evening.
H: Websafe this server
W: Hollala What about the server?
H: Websafe ok then, what about the server?
W: Hollala You mentioned the server?
H: server Websafe
W: Hollala Are you on a different server than usual?
H: Websafe what about the server?
W: Hollala The server appears to be working, because we are connected.
H: Websafe: a person whose occupation is to serve at table
W: Hollala We are talking about computer servers.
H: Websafe: server
W: OK, glad to see this channel back online, maybe it was off for a while? I couldn't connect.
W: You can see I actually got Eclipse running, and the very beginning of a Pircbot running and joining the channel.
W: It has taken several years to get to this point.
W: Now I am exhausted and have to go eat supper.
W: Hollala Bye!
H: k thanx bye, Websafe
