Bug Stomp

My bot's don't update for weeks, then one day poof. The work is there, it just doesn't always show.

K, so long as I'm not the only one lol. The professor really needs to get back here and fix all these bugs -.-

WC, I know it is frustrating. You are working hard and Azeire is cool. But please remember this is just a hobby for the Prof and he does a lot of work to let us play here for free. I am sure he will work on this when he has time, but every one of us here has priorities, and we don't know what else the Prof has on his plate at the moment. I agree it will be nice when things are fixed, but don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

AMEN!

You've got to remember that, give or take a month or two, the forge is coming up on six years old. Most of us don't commit to relationships, jobs, pets or hairstyles for that long. It is amazing that The Professor still runs this at all, let alone still seems to have a passion for all things AI.

Hmmmm. Is it just me, or has Lisp Day turned into Groundhog Day?

Thank you Corwin - I blush to admit that I have been known to kvetch about the various problems at the Forge, but the fact is, it's silly to complain when you're getting a wonderful free service!

We ought to throw a party in Dogh'ds - does anyone know the exact date?

Please don't throw anything at me but I was thinking about the 'free service' and I'm wondering if might not be a bad idea for the professor to charge a little something for it. Nothing out-rageous ... maybe something like five dollars or around that range? It could be like an up-keep fund. Just an idea.

This is totally off-topic but have any of you heard about the AI Computer game called 'Down the Spout?'

Bev-I understand that completely (I barely ever finish things I start ) It's just this stuff has been going on for so long, I thought it would have been fixed by now lol.

The few direct communications I got from the Prof suggest that it's not an easy problem to track down, let alone fix. And with his busy schedule... *shrugs* He did put in the daily automatic restart...but either it's not always effective, or it doesn't always restart. Which doesn't make things any easier.

And I like the idea of getting a contribution thing going. If it got large enough, maybe we could buy the Prof a day off to fix things!

I like the idea! We should do this soon to encourage fixing bugs while the CBC is still underway, if not for the botmasters then for the good publicity it gives the Forge.
