##About

FlackBot (whose name was inspired by [this](http://stackapps.com/questions/306/flack-overstow-generate-spam-from-stack-exchange-posts) app) is a chat bot for the Stack Exchange network of chat sites. It currently hangs out in the [Sandbox](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1/sandbox) but it it designed for the [Ask Ubuntu General Room](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/201/ask-ubuntu-general-room). It is capable of understanding quite a few commands and those commands resemble a natural form of English. Here are some examples:

<pre>
George: @flackbot What is the current time?
FlackBot: The current UTC time is Wed, 08 June 2011 17:33:34 GMT
George: @flackbot find user george
FlackBot: http://askubuntu.com/users/5/George-Edison
George: @flackbot lookup bootloader
FlackBot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootloader
</pre>

He's available during daylight hours, so if you want, you can head on over to the sandbox and talk to him then.
