h1. Lampstand

Lampstand is a bot written for #maelfroth by Nicholas ‘Aquarion’ Avenell, who can be reached at nicholas at aquarionics dot com. It basically does stuff Aquarion thinks is cool, or that people have suggested. A synergy of both is more likely to happen than the latter, to be honest.

These are (most of) the things it does:
