Rin Good > Saber > Rin True > Sakura True >>>> Sakura Normal
Obv.
In other words Saber is my favorite and Jealousy Incarnate, I mean Sakura, is my least. And Normal continues to translate to BAWWWWWWWW.
Hisui Good > Kohaku > Hisui True > Arcueid Good > Ciel True > Akiha True (with Kagetsu Tohya) > Arcueid True > Ciel Good > Akiha True (w/o KT) >>>>>>> Akiha Normal
or thereabouts. In other words, Hisui is my favorite (switched with Kohaku after Hisui’s route), I like it when romance has a resolution, I dislike harems, and I don’t like HORRIBLY DEPRESSING END.

I recently discovered IRCcat, which is an IRC bot based off of PircBot. IRCcat’s claim to fame is that it listens on a TCP port and, by sending data to that port, you can “cat” it to IRC. For example, the command
$ echo "hi" | netcat -q0 localhost 12345
results in:
20:22:43: <irccat> hi
.. as long as you have configured irccat to listen on localhost:12345. This obviously depends on netcat being installed.
