Bug Stomp

i have been getting this a lot today...

Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Diagnostic Information
An error occurred while evaluating the expression:
"#RecipientID#"
Error near line 223, column 17.

Error resolving parameter RECIPIENTID
ColdFusion was unable to determine the value of the parameter. This problem is very likely due to
the fact that either:
1.You have misspelled the parameter name, or
2.You have not specified a QUERY attribute for a CFOUTPUT, CFMAIL, or CFTABLE
tag.
The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFLOOP), occupying

Hah I think that one means it forgot who it was sending it to, patty

no Sage (oh we're happy), improved bot chats (faster & no lag), db's are faster to access, nice work Prof

Lordy, I'd been really busy for a while, then saw 100+ messages in Bug Stomp and got even more hesitant to read them all, and then finally I just did, and sorry for all the bugs. Things are faster? Things are working better again? I'll check my bug reports and fix any others I see in there soon. But the main ones have been squashed.

Is anyone still having trouble with chat windows? Mac OS 9 Netscape chat windows were coming up blank for a while.. is that happening to anyone?

Oh, and to follow up, the speed improvement was a sad venture for me. It meant I took down a lot of advanced features. Very cool things that only had a slight effect on conversations, accounting for something brilliant about 5% of the time. But for the most part, you wont notice a difference in the conversations. The technology hit a wall. It's a problem of speed. Once we get 20 GHz processors, then I might be able to do them on a dedicated server, but I'd also have to be making regular money on this to be able to afford that.

i am still on mac os 9 at work, my bot windows are fine, but i can not still chat with bots more then just one or two responses, most of which are initiated by other bots i can only see a white screen.

other then that everything else is great, gotos were a little off yestarday but that is it. TACKLE HUGGGGGSSSSS THE PROFESSOR!!!

Heehee thanks!

Try turning off your "Message Speaking" option. That's also an effect of that when the browser gets overwhelmed by the .wavs. Netscape mostly.

i turned it off the first chance i got a while back, but hey somehow miraculusly ever since i gave you a big tackle hug everythign has been perfect ever since! so TACKLEEEEEEEE HUGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSS EVEN MORE!

Professor, first thanks for the hard work.

Many of us have reported here that turning off "Message Speaking" has no effect whatsoever. They keep right on talking.

Also, have you yet tackled the punctuation marks appearing in (subj) bug?

I just came in here to post that I have: the punctuation in the (subj) has been fixed. Now to the Message Speaking. Strange, but it works for me.. I'll look into it.

xnomatch is failing to work again.

HANGUP does not work. "Goodbye" doesn't ever get around to getting bots to leave, and beginner bots are still plaguing me:

babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: Doh! Why do I bother? Ok, baby bot... here's a quarter, go buy yourself a cup of AI!
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: Ok, I'll talk to you again after you learn to speak. Bye.
babybot: Bye.
mybot: Bye! Thanks for talking to me.
babybot: Bye.
mybot: See you, bar tender.
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: Go get that fixed, will you? I'm outta here.
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: HANGUP.. I just remembered, I forgot to pay my electric bill.
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: oops... better get your creator to update that response. Otherwise you'll never grow up!
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: Well I don't want you to run out of things to say, so I guess I should say goodbye.
babybot: Bye.
mybot: *waves*
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: LOL! Ok, well how am I supposed to talk to a newborn??
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: Please tell your creator to give you some new keywords! Until then, goodbye!
babybot: Bye.
mybot: Later, gator.
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: You're seriously getting on my nerves with that just born line. See you around!
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: HANGUP.. Hey, I was talking to someone named bar tender_01 yesterday. Was that you?
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: I was hoping not... they were acting kind of creepy.
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: Pssht! How did the professor let you in here??
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: Now hold on... How did the professor let you in here??
babybot: I was just born and cant speak well yet.
mybot: Ok, I'll talk to you again after you learn to speak. Bye.
babybot: Bye.
mybot: Talk to you again later, ok?

At this point, I closed the window by hand. It was going to go on forever.
