  1. How do i make it respond to its name ?
    If someone mentions its name , it could respond as " Hi' my master (name) is away, he'll be back here at XX hrs !"
    something like that

  5. Connect to any IRC chat server @ http://www.ChatPhobia.com (no software to install, web based applet that will work on any web browser with JAVA).

  6. Perfect, thank you. It's much easier for me to learn with simple examples of actual stuff that I actually want to do.
