+== Getting build notifications ==
+It might be useful to know when a build finishes or the status of certain builds. This way you don't have to keep an eye on your dev master and move on to other awesome things. There are a few ways to accomplish this:
+* Using Buildbot's IRC bot
+**first add the following to your list of status obj in your master.cfg:
+  irc = words.IRC("irc.mozilla.org", "<your-bot-nick>",
+                  channels=["<irc-channel>"],  useSSL=True,
+                  port=6697, allowForce=False,
+                  notify_events={
+                    'exception': 1,
+                    'successToFailure': 1,
+                    'failureToSuccess': 1,
+                  })
+  c['status'].append(irc)
+now reconfig and your should see your bot join <irc-channel>. From there you can do a number of things: http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.0/IRC-Bot.html
+I like to start a private chat with my bot and request the build status when a job finishes. This gives me actual pings!
+you can do this like so from irc:
+  > /query <your-bot-nick>
+  > notify on finished
+* Using Check4Change Firefox extension:
+** this extension will check if a page changes without having to actually refresh! You can hook this up to your dev master buildbot web UI
