Bot Contest

Yipe! Please tell me what's going on, as soon as you can. This is just one roller coaster after another! And I so want GL to be able to participate, for your sake as well as mine. This could change our lives!

Come on.....cheating? As I understand it, not ONE bot has ever been that convincing. Is there some way to just copy some of GL onto their server, or how does that work?

I don't know if it would be legal, but I'm pretty sure I have a copy of Allaire CF 4 on CD somewhere. It may even be official, but I'll have to check.

You ARE the king of the world.

Good news! I downloaded the trial version of both ColdFusion (lasts 30 days) and SQL Server (lasts 120 days). Both run on Windows 2000 so long as it's a good machine. Plus Windows 2000 has IIS 5 built in. So now the only challenge is going to be installing it and getting it to work, and then working with the interface requirements. No web program could emulate an old-school terminal interface like they used in past years.. but if we used the Turing Hub as the interface for the contest, it shouldnt be a problem at all.

I'm waiting to hear back on that point. *crosses fingers*

Hey Paint Patricia,

If you make it I will come. ;-)

No seriously, if you make me a better web site, I'll post it and put your name on it. All the information I have is already on there. Obviously we want to add more, but I agree that it is pretty lame as is, I just dont have time do do web pages and install most of these bots. Benji seems to have a grip on the PF bot, KiwiLogic is installing their bot, and I am doing the rest of them.

Any help appreciated! Even if you just sent one redesigned page, that would at least be an improvement!

Sincerely, and thanks in advance,

Robby G.

ok would you like it flash or the plain ol' jaineeo stuff?
i love working in flash, you can see my personal site on my profile here or i guess i could make it easier for you and give it to you...

i probably will not be able to do anything for it until after october the twentieth because that will be my closing deadline for a consulting job (another webiste).

Hi Patricia, your site looks very nice, so I can see why you would suggest a makeover I'm going to do my best with it, but I tend to write 1994-era simple pages like at http://www.cybermecha.com, that is my home page. It is also the temporary home page for the institute of mimetic sciences, but it all kind of fits together, at least to me. Some of the text on your page was hard to read, and I want to convey information as a functional priority. That is my plan for the way I'll edit it.

Cheers,

Robby.

Actually, I prefer "Lord of the Earth."
BTW, congrats, I don't think I said it.

Prof-
Good to hear about the software. I haven't messed with IIS in a while, but if you want some support with the setup let me know.

Thanks--for everything!

robby-
