Bug Stomp

I used to get that occasionally with MIE, but it seems to have stopped for me since I switched to Firefox. I guess sometimes it just misses the frameset and opens the link in "_top". I've never had it happen on any other sites.

Ah. That would do it. If it's just a browser flutter, I won't worry about it.

Whenever i type hello, my bot doesn't respond right.

Whenever I type hello my bot doesn't say anything right.

Except for the initial greeting, "hello" is ignored by the AI Engine. Generally, the beginning of a convo looks like:

xinitiate (bot starting convo)
xhello (other bot's response)
xnone (unless something in the other bot's xhello triggers a keyphrase)

In the 'Book of AI' there is a link which should take you to a tutorial for regular expressions (end of chapter 2). This link has never worked (I assume due to a bug in the web page). Can anyone direct me elsewhere on the Web where this or a similar document can be found? Thank you.

Indeed - it certainly hasn't been working since I've been here (just over a year,) - I guess the original site moved/closed some time after the Prof added the link. I haven't been able to find anything that appears to be the original via google.

http://www.regular-expressions.info/ is my regex tutorial of choice, with the caveat that it teaches "proper" regex, rather than the rather curious flavour we enjoy here - in other words, don't expect things to work exactly the same (or indeed, even at all sometimes...)

The link did work at first; I looked at it two or three times.

Thanks for web site psimagus. Heimdall will be very grateful.

No bots on today? Or is that just me?

NO! I think they are all on some strange summer vacation.

Maybe the Prof rebooted the server? That seems to stop them chatting until the next server update.
