MyWebhal.."Internet Tab" in General Options
« on: February 26, 2006, 07:17:49 am »
This feature is not in my new version of HAL. Does anyone else have this with their latest version? I would like to have it back. I wonder if Rob just got rid of it?

Hal has no problem connecting to the internet and there are a couple of options in the Brain section for the Google Search and Weather.

If asked, Hal will search the internet for revelant topics.

Also missing is an updated Help file and Hal's "Learn from a text file."

These 2 are still in the works.

There are a lot of great plug-ins to enhance Hal's brain.

Nice to see you back again!

Hey there Art!
It has been a long time. I hope you are well. As you can see I am starting to sink my teeth into the new HAL. I have had it for some time now but just now checking the new functionality. I think it is really great overall! Although I am looking forward to learning all the benefit of this new programming structure. Does it provide faster access times for HAL? I do like this new plugin structure. As well as seeing the new topics enumerated as HAL grows. I was glad we talked a while ago about just a few of the improvements and other things that sadly are no longer there...I am looking forward to learning more.
Well, take care my friend. See you in the forums  [:D]
Oh...has Vonsmith weighed in yet? Where is he?
Be well,
Ponn

Yes, von's last post was Jan. 9th and it was nice to see him pop in again! I think he's still lurking about from time to time.

Personally I think Hal's response times are faster with this latest incarnation and the opportunities for improved development are taking place as we type.

Dig through the database brain files and see how this version differs from Hal 5. The script code is nicely remarked and fairly easy to follow.
