So, a few years ago I was writing an IRC bot which I decided to call Bartender. Today I was checking my blog’s stats (Nothing impressive, but a good way to see what is most popular on my site, etc.) and I noticed a few people had gotten to my site by searching for IRC bartender, so I Google’d that, and the IRC Bot wiki page came up. I then saw the line:
The historically oldest IRC bots were Bill Wisner’s Bartender and Greg Lindahl’s GM (Game Manager for the Hunt the Wumpus game).
Wow, haha. This obviously doesn’t prove anything but it’s just amazing how I happened to name my abandoned bot ‘Bartender’ too.

I recently got an email from one of the reCAPTCHA engineers asking if I could help them out with the WordPress plugin, and since I love both WordPress and reCAPTCHA, I couldn’t refuse. I spent the day working on integrating WP-MailHide into the official WordPress reCAPTCHA plugin. The email I got mentioned many nice ideas for the plugin and I will continue to try and implement them.
So far I have added a few options. It’s possible to turn it on or off, requires both API keys (MailHide API keys are different from reCAPTCHA API keys), has customizable CSS styling, as well as a customizable regular expression.
Take a look at the administration options for yourself. This site is now using the integrated plugin instead of just WP-MailHide.
