I noticed before I switched to a completely VO-based IRC bot that this can easily skip lines sent from IRC - > VO, due to the way it reads / overwrites output.txt I think.

Requires timing tweaking on the alias. Different systems process the commands at different rates. This was run primarly on a PowerMac G5, which is arguably slower than the Intel processor you'd be using, slime. :/

Not the best of ways, but it worked pretty well.
