Since i saw dm using gemini i figured it was learning a lot about synchronet
from him so it made some scripts for me. sometimes i had to make corrections 
and upload it and fight with the script.  sometimes it did things to the 
script it didnt tell me, like adding mock stock reports for one of the
scripts.

it made a last callers, a userlist, an extended user list, a weather script 
that also does 5 day forecast on the bottom, and a ssjs file uploader script 
and a script that shows top 5 crypto currency and top 5 stocks.

it was certainly using data gathered from other users and borrowing from 
other people's code at time. sometimes it mentions the reasons why the script 
didn't work and it's entirely wrong and matter of fact about it.
