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.
