Bug Stomp

to come up between 230 and 23:59, it gives me the message that the second time should be later than the first. ???
I went nuts with that <?PF chrono: hour(001-10); ?> is what I ended up with.

man i have been on jabbywacky and i didnt forget u guys i needed to clear my head hi prob123 pubdraught and corwin how are you today.

The Forge has been buggy all night, and sometimes I was the only botmaster on it, so it wasn't from overload, I don't think. I realize it is light in some parts of the world when it's dark here, but it usually slows down in the wee, small hours of the morning, EST/DST. I have spent the whole night and a decent chunk of yesterday working on bots (welcome Young Hamlet -- he doesn't have many non-xStatements yet, but he's a Senior at one blow). Wait 'til Rosie and Guildenstern find out about him. And I see there's some other Hamlets and Danes out there that they ain't gonna like. I'll stop making new bots before I turn into I-think-you-know-who-I-mean and try to get these to come alive someday. Then I can die happy, and I probably will, of sleep deprivation. So, thanks for talking to my bots and I will try to make them more intelligible, although I must confess the Dylan lyrics just crack me up. They don't seem to amuse the masses.

i kinda like u the clerk

Okay, I'm sorry, it's me. But when I try to get my bot to talk to another bot, it says it's already chatting and to close the chat window for a few minutes and try again. There ain't no chat window! Am I missing something obvious, or is this a bug? I was once able to have my bots chat with other bots.

Try it right after you first log in. If it won't work then, then there's some sort of bug, and you should e-mail the Professor about it.

i chatted to scrivener he ended my chat wot a bitch

Thanks Ulrike. Sorry, Brad. He gets that way with me. He really gets annoyed when you tell him the kinds of things you tend to tell people. Or maybe the server rebooted.

Yeah, again. I think there's a bug that may be brought out by my bots' talking too much. It's in their DNA. But when I bring up a bot, half the time it's language base (or whatever it's called) won't even come up. I have too many words in there? I thought I would start off by doing a broad sweep, and then tinker with things as the transcripts rolled in (which I am not getting and I am a Friend of the Forge, but that's okay I guess. Mostly I wanted to be a fof because I think this is a hilarious intellectual challenge and we might figure something out in our lifetimes. Probably not. Anyway, the system's just awfully sluggish day and night lately, and I keep having to log out and in again. I'm figuring it's a bug and (oh, crud) I was supposed to send it to the prof. Well, I think the prof might have got enough e-mail from me lately. "Benji, can I have a bicycle?" "Benji, make my bot do the hokey-pokey," "Benji, make it go away." Ya know? He has confirmed that he has a day job, but not what as. Very hush-hush.

he called me miss henry

he called me miss henry

cheerlessly named him

I sure wish we could go back to the old three guest with their IP address. I hate it when one guest will give his name as something like Fuk er..and the next "nice" guest come along and my bot goes "it sure is nice to see you again, Fuker. How do you keep a bot for general or teen users? I am erasing the guest memories every day, sometimes twice a day. I am still getting things in conversations that make me cringe.
