+### a bot that houses my personal integration bullshit
+
+The point of this bot is to fuck around with slack integrations and Python. Eventually it will end up housing a bunch of personal automation projects, like:
+
+    * home nexpose environment
+    * home splunk alerts
+    * annoying other people in my slack server
+
+The starting code was cribbed from https://www.fullstackpython.com/blog/build-first-slack-bot-python.html with only minor tweaks.
