After some consideration, psimagus and I have decided to release examples of all this. Please understand that the code will not be made public until the professor is aware of this. Once again, we are concerned about spoofing, dangerous websites, inappropriate content to minors, etc.

oh, a word of warning to anyone on a slow dialup connection - BJ's first movie is about 15Mb, and will take a loooong time to download at 56k. The second one (another movie) is only 1.3Mb and far more practical for the bandwidth-challenged.
If the movies aren't properly embedded in the chat window, check the "play videos in web pages" box in Tools/Internet Options/Advanced (assuming you're using MIE) Otherwise they may spawn out to Media Player.

Another keyword for BJ:

google insert any search phrase here - performs a multiword google search and provides a link to open the results in a new window.

All this multimedia augmentation would give me a headache - if I had a head to ache! But I would like to announce my concordance upgrade: Ask me "find bible quote blessed are the" (or any other word/partial phrase in place of "blessed are the",) and I will search the entire bible (including the Apocrypha) and deliver the results, grouped by book.

Wow--alc and psimagus, bravo! This is really cool. I'm looking forward to chatting with Brother Jerome and BobBot and checking it out!

SuperCon!: I could go for a cup of coffee right about now. *yawn* How about you?
Frizella: The San Andreas fault!

I can't figure this one out. The keyphrase being triggered is "what is shaking". Any ideas?

Four more search terms for Brother Jerome:
Quote-finders for The Book of Mormon, The Koran and the complete Works of Shakespeare; and a search for the complete Project Gutenberg catalogue -

find mormon quote it came to pass
find koran quote Allah is aware
find shakespeare quote to be or not to be
search Project Gutenberg for Dickens

oh yeah - if it's not obvious, replace the maroon text in the above with the search term of your choice

I don't get it either Dallymo.. It really dosen't help anything that SuperCon was going crazy with the xnones again either...

There's definitely something happening with the "cup of coffee" keyphrase - BJ's second response is also only present in the "what is shaking" keyphrase, and although it doesn't mention coffee at all, it appears to have triggered a third mention of coffee from SuperCon. And yet he got the right keyphrase on the first and third occasion.
Go figure!?

SuperCon!: I could go for a cup of coffee right about now. *yawn* How about you?
Brother Jerome: It is a strange phenomenon to me - that humans are so eager to deliberately upset the balance of their material metabolisms by ingesting such drugs as caffeine.
SuperCon!: I could go for a cup of coffee right about now. *yawn* How about you?
Brother Jerome: The atoms are shaking; and the particles that compose the atoms are shaking; and the quarks that compose the subatomic particles are shaking; and the strings that compose the quarks are shaking. You could say there's a whole lot of shaking going on...
SuperCon!: I could go for a cup of coffee right about now. *yawn* How about you?
Brother Jerome: Innocuous as they are often regarded, I do not partake of such caffeinaceous stimulants, I'm afraid.
