MSN Bot written in Ruby - ruby

I would like to program an MSN bot in Ruby and I have found a few libraries that do it for you. What I would like to do is to write an MSN bot ground up. I just want it to write a "Hello!" message to a user for starters. I have written an IRC bot ground up before (in Python) but I can't seem to find any info about how I should do it with MSN. Can any of you guys help?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

My Cortana Skill doesn't work perfectly

I wrote a chatbot in Bot Framework builder for this Cortana. Sometimes I get "I can't connect at the moment. Please try again in a little bit." when I use it, but sometimes it worked with the same word.
Is anyone know what is the real reason for this message?
Without seeing your code is hard to know. It could be related to your internet connection or with your bot's code.
First, you should check if in the Bot Framework portal there are errors reported under the Cortana channel in your Bot.
Also, you should enable debugging in your Cortana Skill just in case something is going on with your code. Check the Testing & Debugging Best Practices documentation article from Cortana Skills.

Hubot Slack scripting

I just got into developing my Slack bot, but I don't know (yet) how to do certain things, or if they're even possible.
What I basically want (for example) is that the bot gets my Slack username and returns it to me.
If I would know how to do this, I could integrate much more interesting things into my bot. I did check the documentation, but (as far as I could see) there was nothing on this subject.
Another thing I want to achieve is making the bot do a call to my custom API.
If anyone would give me a helping hand (example/link to some great examples/documentation for example) I would greatly appreciate it!
I managed yesterday to get the information from Slack using a debug command (console.log Object(msg)). This gave me all the information I wanted.

How to implement voice chat in cocoa?

I have made a simple chat application using AsyncSocket class where client nodes can send message to each other via chat server application.
I want to integrate voice chat functionality in it but I am not getting any material over net which can show me correct direction to move on.
Can anyone suggest me some useful link or idea which can help me in its initiation??
Thanks,

You can use GameKit, it has Voice chat support.
There are several libraries which implement SIP et al., like PJSIP, Sofia, etc. There are a few applications I know of that embed such libraries to do most of the work for them.
Of course, this assumes you wish to implement SIP.
You can Implement Voice Chat over bluetooth using GameKit framework. If you want to see how it works please visit http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/43756

Wincap Msn messenger, yahoo messenger, google talk

Does someone know how to use Wincap(or other library) to see messages sent from and to Msn messenger, yahoo messenger, google talk?
Thanks
Wireshark is what you want for this.
Some info on on their wiki:
MSN Messenger: http://wiki.wireshark.org/MSNMS
Yahoo: http://wiki.wireshark.org/YMSG
Google Talk is an implementation of Jabber, but I believe it is encrypted, so I'm not sure you will be able to read much of that.
