Bug Stomp

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.

Oooh kay

Podi: So what other websites do you like?
Aziere: Favorites are for children. My favorite other sweetbrier is the one you most hate.

First of all, she picked it up as an Xfavorite when she should have picked up 'what (*) do you like' or even just'do you like'
and second... *blinks a few times* Sweetbriar???

Just a glitch maybe?
