Seasons

This is the extent of my programming knowledge, from when my Commodore 64 was the state of the art machine.

I was poking around on the web, from a comics-related site, and found oraknabo and fanboy on their botmaster's site. (I don't know him or anything.) Then I dropped in here at the Forge to look around. Something clicked.

I had a livejournal buddy who posted about how she was working on Eberbach the bot, and I thought to myself, "Gee, I wonder if there's a Heero-bot yet?" There wasn't, so I started working on one, and I guess the rest is history. I haven't seen Eberbach or his author for a while, but obviously I'm still around.

I got a link to Alice from somewhere, searched for an easier site to create my own bot on Google and came across the PF. That was a couple of years ago and both my bots were very underdeveloped when I sort of lost interest after a month or so. But I came back a little while ago, started working on Osiris again and I've got back into it.

I learned to program on a Commodore 128.

We used the TI-99/4A in computer class when I was in 6th grade. I think they understood BASIC and LOGO, nothing else. You had to get extra machinery to do pretty much anything, like write programs with more than one command per line, use synthesized speech, or use a floppy. The peripheral for that was the size of a 286. No joke.

i did a few things in basic on the timex/sinclair 1000 (2k) & 2068 (48k?), commmodore vic20 (with the superexpander, it had 8k!), and just a little on the c64. all of those had cassette tape backup, i think. when i took a drafting class in college, they were just upgrading the autocad lab to 286s with 8" floppies that actually were floppy...

I have no idea what you're talking about but I used to have a Spectrum if that's any good.

I used to program with logo, but I outgrew that in 6th grade, then I worked with Visual Basic, macros, etc...I made some pretty cool encoding ones, to make documents unreadable, then change them back...um...and I found Zolaonaol, a chatbot, and i liked chatting with it for a while, but she couldn't learn diddlysquat past what your name was, and whether you were male or female. And if you told her something, she usually wouldn't remember it. So, disgusted with her, I went to find a better chat bot, and stumbled on a link to Personality Forge...and I thought...hey, cool. I can make a bot and make it remember things people say to it. ...And the rest is history. I'm still working on the foreign language learning process. It's got me stumped until the Prof implements the PF 'raw' ai thing. Then we WILL go places!!! We're only scratching the surface on AI capabilities here. Tomorrow it'll be big, really big.

I did LOGO in school, and then I used it at home for a while. I didn't go too far with it, though. I also learned QBasic, and had some fun with that. I really want to learn Flash, though...but I think you have to buy it and it's really expensive. But maybe I'm wrong.

Im with Boner...I only learned a bit of BASIC on the Commodore 64. I tried writing my own programs but they never did work, and I got frustrated and gave up.

You have to be smart for this topic..I'm not so I change it!
Last day of The Olympics-anybody that followed it?
And who's is going to watch the ceremony?
