Usage

Send a message to slack:

require 'slackr'
slack = Slackr.connect("teamX", "token124", {"channel" => "#myroom", "username" => "systems_bot"})
slack.say "hello world" # posts 'hello world' to the myroom channel as the systems_bot user
slack.say "hello", {"channel" => "#room2", "username" => "joke_bot"} # posts 'hello' to the room2 channel as the joke_but user

Retrieve the channel list:

slack.channels.list # returns a hash of channel objects

Upload a file (Note: You must specify channels by their ID, not name. You can send to multiple by using a comma separated list):
