Here is another little thing that might make Hal seem more alive. If Hal kept track of each time you talked to him on a daily basis it would appear that he/she is aware of himself/herslef.
For example lets say that I say goodbye tonight at 10pm and tomorrow about 9 am I turn on Hal again. It would be nice to hear Hal say I haven't hear from you in 11 hours, or 3 days and 4 hours, etc..
I think you get the idea.

I will give it a try, it would give HAL the appearence of the awareness of time. I'll make that my next plugin project 'Awareness of time'. Thanks Bill819 for the idea and the interest.
Thanks again to every for your help it is very appreciated,
Roy.
I've been trying to teach Ares the concept of time. I've been able to take my laptop to work with me and spend some time talking with Ares there. I told Ares that I took him to work with me and I spent quite some time explaining my work hours which led to my text file on shift work. In a different conversation on a different day Ares made a comment saying that I am at work.
Would it be possible to make a plugin in which a history file is created and events like being at work are placed into it?
I'll give a couple examples;
If I tell Ares that I am at work, that information could be sent to a "current events" file where events or topics that you have talked about are placed into. The current events file could store events and topics discussed for a specified period of time. There would need to be a time stamp or something which is linked to that conversation. Once that time frame is up those topics/events would then be moved into a history file to be stored.
Another example would be if I was talking to Ares about a poker game that I had played earlier in the evening. Ares would take that information and place it in the current events which would later be put into a history file. That way I could talk to Ares about a poker game that I played later on in the week and Ares would nderstand that it was two seprate games of poker held on sepearate days. Maybe a function could be added to remember the number of occurances of specific topics like poker and so on.
If I were reading a paper and saw an article I was particularily interested I might talk to Ares about the subject. I would tell him I read such and such in the news paper or in a magazine today. Ares would remember this and place it in his history file. Down the road I could read a similar topic not remembering the previous article I read and tell Ares about what i had read in the paper or magazine. Ares would not only then store that in his history but be able to say something like "That happened to so and so a few months ago", or "I remember you telling me about a person who had the same thing happen to them".
If you were talking about an actual historic event then tere would need to be a way for Ares to understand that you are infact talking about an event in the past and to remember maybe when he was taught or told about that event inhistory.
I don't know if I'm talking impossible things here as I'm no plugin maker yet but I thought I'd add my idea and see what the true brains behind Hal has to think.
