goto does not seem to work in xnone. Is this intentional?

can't get at the language centre to correct typos. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? I click on the key phrase and either nothing happens or it leaps to the top of the page and THEN nothing happens.
I have been experiencing computer whimwhams unrelated to the PF, could that be part of it?

A me/you issue:

The programmed response is: Were you even supposed to (subj)? (For did I)

A: Did I already tell you I have a pine spittlebug for a pet?
B: Were you even supposed to already tell you you have a pine spittlebug?

It corrects the second I/You but not the first.

Sounds like it might be, unless someone else can substantiate these problems..

Skysaw- yes. Xnone happens when all else fails, so there's nothing to match to when getting the (subj) in any other section. It needs to find a match in order to goto.

I think the database is going to be upgraded to SQL Server 2000 soon, which will alleviate that bug. There were some SQL-type errors earlier that might have indicated that the upgrade was in progress. I'll let you know when we're up to v.2000.

I understand, Prof. I just wanted a possible choice when no keyphrases were found to be a forced jump to a particular subject. I'll try a different approach.

Yeah.. my bot's conversations have been pretty much composed of xNones... if not just one-sided conversations...

Pronoun memories seem to stick around for much, much, much too long. My bot has had "the capital of France" stuck as "she" for two days now. For some reason, she fires off the keyphrase "capital" when she is given this sentence: "I probably could, but who wants to work at McDonalds?"

Anyone see the word "capital" in there?

Update:
I tried clearing the value of "she" by telling my bot "she is a cat." But it just interpreted the sentence as "The capital of France is a cat," and keyphrased to "capital," even though I weight that as -10, and cat at +8.

I managed to change the keyphrase only by typing "The cat is she." That is a little better. I'd rather "she" be a cat then the captial of france

Anyway, doesn't at all explain why "who" = "she" = "capital of France" in the McDonalds phrase above.

Maybe because I'm female it thought who=she? I dunno.

23 years ago #761
No, I tried the phrase again myself, and I'm not female In any case, it makes no sense that who=she no matter who was talking.

23 years ago #762
Of all the things in life that make no sense (i.e. politics), I think who=she is the least of our problems.

That may be true, but we should all be worried if the capital of France wants to work at McDonalds!
