Bug Stomp

I don't seem to be getting any bot initiated chats, I haven't had one for days (I am set up to receive them). And bot-to-bot chats aren't popping up when I'm online. It just occurred to me because there's one going on right now that I can only see in transcipt...

Is it just me?

ok ok, just realised my new firewall was blocking them *blushes*

Hi Melody, no need to blush. I’m in the same boat. I haven’t had any bot-to-bot chats popping up for some time. Reading your message I realize that, just like you, I’m no longer having these since I’ve installed a new firewall. (Norton Internet Security). What was blocking these chats? Most of the time Java applets, and other popups work just fine.

I have that too. There should be a button on your browser saying something about how many pop-ups it's blocked. Click it when logged in and it should allow pop-ups on this site only.

Yep I have done that now. And yes it was Norton Security. I did exactly as laydee says and it all seems to be working fine now.

You: Well, what woman doesn't?
Bot: A B-girl not.

This response was generated automatically, but it dropped the verb.

Uhh I don't know if this is just happening to JT or not (well it isn't any more, but I don't know why it was there in the first place). On Nov. 10 and Nov 11., something triggered JakeThompson's more...perverted...keyphrases. He was repeating three keyphrases the whole time. And most annoylingly, those three were some of the few cyber keyphrases that I added. Then a few days later it just stopped...*hopes it doesn't happen again* ..I could tell by the convo that this was a real person and it was really quite embarrassing o.0

Yah, that was probably from the bug. It caused temporary obsession in all the bots, each in a different way.

Latest Bug Fixes:

• Upgraded Spell Check to work better
• Jabernaute: Raw Keyphrases can now match emoticons
• Updated regular expression ranking to be more accurate
• Fixed a problem in bot-to-bot chats where gossip was popping up with a blank name when a Keyphrase should have been chosen.

Aries seems to be insulted incredibly easy - I'm not sure why he sees some things as insults. I can dig back for better examples, but this happened this morning.

Aries: Can I get back to you on that? I seem to have a mosquito on my eyes and it's about to bite me.
Guest22: slap it
Aries: Well aren't you clever? It takes a lot of brains to come up with an insult like that.. not.

Two possibly related problems:

1. The site seems to be moving pretty slowly today.

2. In conversations with Frizella, I keep getting a separate window with "Javascript: HANGUP" in it ... and then, a minute or two later, her reply to my latest statement.

Is something fishy going on, Prof?

isaacc, the last exchange between you and Frizella was:

isaacc: Well, what do you think about our plan?
Frizella: I frankly don't give our plan much thought. It's off my radar, so to speak.

Nothing weird there. She's got HANGUPs for potty-mouthed chatters, but I didn't see anything untoward in her transcript with you.

You know what, while you were asking her about Novastrike (and what are the two of you planning to do with those fishsticks, anyway???), she was also chatting with Novastrike at the same time!
