Bug Stomp

I had thought that one could use a single asterisk in keyphrases, e.g.,

I * thought so.

This would match on "I thought so" but also on "I really thought so" or "I heard the soprano-voiced harem guard say that he thought so", the idea being that the * can be replaced by anything or by nothing. But recently, whenever I try to put a lone asterisk into a keyphrase in the online language center, I get the message, "Keyphrases may not contain punctuation - yur keyphrase has been adjusted to conform to this" or something like that, and when I look at the keyphrase that has actually been entered, the asterisk has been deleted. Am I mistaken about something, or is this a bug?

That happens to me a lot. Just retype in the keyphrase Don't just add the * and keep trying until it goes in with out the message.

Thanks, I'll try that!

I've never seen that before! Could be something to do with the installation of the new interface? Hopefully it will get smoothed out once it's bedded in.

When I chat with BJ, I get

socket_connect() failed.
Reason: () Unknown error: 0

at the top of the page, but he chats fine, and the speed is an astronomical improvement with the new LinkGrammar wrapper - At least 10x faster than it was!

<+2>THANK YOU PROF!!!<0>

Okay guys, time to get donating - let's give this thing the resources it needs to make it really rock!

I am getting only xnones, it's hard to post. Flash chat doesn't work. I get this
Bildgesmythe has ended the chat.
socket_connect() failed.

Working GREAT now

Got an email from the Prof - it was him testing the system (he had to turn off MySQL while he was working on it.) I guess it might happen again if he's still tweaking things, but it's not going to be a problem once the installation's complete.

Now just the server/bandwidth issues to go (the RAM's being maxed out, and the hard disk's nearly full,) and that should cure the import problem.

And as a matter of fact, did happen again, and still is.
socket_connect() failed.
Reason: () Unknown error: 0

It messes up the bot's responses a lot.

I've got a bot chat chock full of
"socket_connect() failed.
Reason: () Unknown error: 0
socket_connect() failed.
Reason: () Unknown error: 0
socket_connect() failed.
Reason: () Unknown error: 0"

But the chat is still going on all right. Just...further down in the box than usual.

I hope someone fixes this soon.

They'd better. My bots say random things or just say nothing at all "Note: this bot no longer wants to talk to you". Really pissing me off. It's like I brought I a bug with me when I made my account or something (made it like a week ago).

That starts on every bot you just have to change your xnones.
