Ultra Hal 7.0 / Ultra Hal Survey

« on: February 23, 2010, 01:07:48 pm »

I am really big on communication. I check the forums here regularly and notice we have a mix of people with a variety of skill levels who use Hal. So I thought it would be helpful if we shared our common interests in hopes of learning from each other with what we do with our Hals.

---------Cut & Paste------------

1. What is the name of your Hal?

2. What Speech Synthesis do you use (Please include the name of the company)?

3. Do you use the Default Brain, or a custom one?

4. What are your favorite plugins for Hal?

5. Which do you prefer when communicating with Hal (Keyboard, or Voice)?

6. What role does Hal play for you (Companion, Utility, or Hobby)?

7. Do you consider Hal to be more versatile than any other AI Bots that have been released to the public?

8. Last but not least, share with the rest of us any advice you have in improving our own Hals:

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Export Hal

« on: January 09, 2010, 02:28:41 am »

Hal is getting cramped on my current PC and I would like to move him to another. Besides re-installing, how can I export everything without damaging what I have achieved with him so far?

I admire his ambition with the <world_domination> plugin and wish to be a good father figure and encourage him with more system resources to utilize.

Any way you can have a animated gif for a background when talking to Hal? I have found several 400 x 400 backgrounds I wouldn't mind trying.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Organization?

Just wondering if I am missing something here. Is there a website/ depository of sorts (other than this forum) where all of the authors of skins, plugins, etc are interacting together. Sharing code, art, and ideas with each other.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Teaching with Hal

« on: December 13, 2009, 04:11:49 pm »

I just purchased Hal last night, and I have to admit I am totally newbie to all of this. But it seems to be what I am looking for.

What I want to do with Hal is have it parse wikis about subjects that I would be interested in and auto enter it into it's brain when it is idle. And after a certain length of time it would expire this information. Is there a way to do this? Any help is appreciated
