Was thinking earlier that one of those "cool, but useless" projects might be to use StarPy and Festival to read live IRC feeds to a user. Twisted has all sorts of fun little protocols it can access, but IRC is just so magnificently geeky that it would obviously gather thousands of users in minutes.

Oh, also discovering a weird bug in the duration-of-call callback example, for some reason the code isn't recognising that I'm picking up the phone and connecting to the AGI, so it just keeps calling me back. Sigh, probably edited out something critical.
