I've never really understood the TWSS joke, probably because I'm missing some cultural context. I really, really hope I'm not this kind of asshole about other things without realising.
Small tip: since you're already using Twisted, you may find it useful to daemonise it with twistd (http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/tap.html) and configure it similarly.
For example, to start twisted.web: $ twistd -n web --path=. --port=8000
So your twsrs bot could have something like $ twistd -n twsrs --trigger="BINGO!" --server=irc.freenode.net --ssl=on --port=6667 --channel=#foo
PS: Posting on your blog was a little hard (anonymous disabled, openid login still required many clicks to add an email address)
Interesting approach
