+"define" command. This is done by using a "define:" query on
+google, so the results may be a little unusual at times...</p>

from the flirts list (<span

+class="code">/home/matthew/programming/irc/bot/flirts</span> on rapun),
and substitutes "target" for "%s" in the flirt line. If this command
is invoked by <span class="code">/msg</span>, there is a 10% chance
of Servus stating who invoked it by adding "(but nick is their secret
admirer)" to the end of the flirt. Further suggestions for flirts
should be submitted by email; a list of current flirts may be found
online at <a

<h3><a name="trout">trout</a></h3>

from the trouts list (<span

+<h3><a name="twit">twit</a></h3>
+<p>The syntax is:<br /><span
+class="code">twit twitter-url</span><br /> Servus returns (either on-channel or by <span

+of the tweet and the twitter user who posted it.</p>
<h3><a name="units">units</a></h3>
<p>The syntax is:<br /> <span
the latter two forms convert the first value into SI units. This
command is implemented by calling <span class="code">units(1)</span>.</p>
+<h3><a name="url">url</a></h3>
+<p>Servus now tracks URLs pasted into <span
+class="code">#chiark</span>, and will comment if you post a duplicate
+URL. The <span class="code">url</span> command provides a way for you
+to check if a URL has been posted before (if not, Servus posts it on
+your behalf). The syntax is:<br />
+<span class="code">/msg Servus url http://some.url</span><br />
+Servus will either paste the URL into channel, or <span
+class="code">/msg</span> you to tell you it was a duplicate. Although
+you can use this command in-channel (and get a response by <span
+class="code">/msg </span>), this is discouraged. Servus also
+understands <span class="code">nsfw://</span>
+and <span class="code">nsfws://</span> URLs, and knows they are an
+obfuscation of the relevant <span class="code">http://</span>
+or <span class="code">https://</span> URL for URLs that are not
+work-safe. You can make your firefox understand <span
+class="code">nsfw://</span> URLS by visiting <a
