Description
The irc bot has been a great help, but it's a pain in the ass that whenever a netsplit occurs on the irc server, the bot doesn't try and re-connect properly. Can this be fixed? Investigate.

In general the bot has been a lot more stable lately, it's not clear whether this code is working or what. I'll move this up to the next release with low priority so we keep checking on it.

No, it still sucks. The bot doesn't figure out how to rejoin the channel if the connection gets interrupted. Perhaps it'd be smart to split the bot out into its own process and run it using something like http://github.com/purzelrakete/mini - it may be the case that backgroundrb is simply not up to the job of staying running for this long, and it'd conform to the Big Plan of splitting up the site into independent services.
