Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / New 'Compact Black' Skin
« on: November 07, 2008, 04:23:42 pm »
I think I am getting hooked again.  Here's one I have been working on today, I think I have finished it - still not sure how the volume control will function though, maybe I can come back to it if I install Speech Recognition.

This one was inspired by the default skin of WinAmp the audio player.  They look quite nice together, I think I may try and get Hal hooked up to WinAmp actually.

Anyways, here's a screeny and a zip file, let me know how you get on if you like.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / New 'Smoothy' Skin
« on: November 06, 2008, 04:06:52 pm »
The last time I made a skin was around three years ago, for some reason I had the urge.  Here's a screeny and a zip file...

I don't use Speech Reco at the moment, so I am not sure what may go on with the volume controls, so let me know how that works out.  Also does anyone have any details about the 'talk' element in a skin ? I am not quite sure of it's full purpose beyond displaying an 'upgrade' option.

Thanks.

General Discussion / Virus alert.
« on: January 23, 2008, 06:10:36 pm »
Just wanted to warn people that I picked up at least 2 viruses here today.  One of them was JS/Psyme.NR, not sure what that does.  Also I keep getting the file ~tmp1174.exe which is another virus related file.  I repeated my surfing and narrowed it down to the Zabaware site.  I believe the viruses downloaded themselves when I I went to the forum page here, or possibly when I clicked on 'Active Topics'.  Hard to tell, but they were definatetly from here as I was watching my documents and settings folder as I navigated.  Soon as I came here I got the viruses again.

One or both might be trojans.  Symptoms are that at least one of them hijacks Internet Explorer and tries to make changes to the shell.  I keep getting redirected to dodgy pages and unrelated search pages or results.  This makes surfing a pain as the browser just takes you anywhere it feels like.

I can't seem to shift them as they reappear after a reboot.  AVG doesn't even spot the #tmp1174.exe so it can do nothing about it.
These virus's are a real pain so watch out.

Perhaps this has something to do with the forum code being switched off ?

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Calling all head makers!
« on: November 17, 2007, 09:01:35 am »
I've set up a new section in the gallery at Aidreams just for sharing heads.  We have a lot of heads listed on the forum at AiDreams but I think this will be a better way of presenting them.  All you need is a screenshot and a link to the file.  The gallery also allows people to comment on your creation.

Here's an example:

And here's some simple instructions :

I hope people will find it useful.

« on: January 10, 2007, 06:48:28 pm »
Hi, After a host of technical problems and spamming, Digital Girl has come out of the ashes and been reborn as www.aidreams.co.uk

All of the old accounts are intact and I managed to save all the forum content and I will be adding new content as and when I can.

If any regulars want to test it out briefly over the next few days then that would be grand.  Thanks :)

We now boast a new gallery, extended news feed, a continuing story (prods Maviarab) and an improved downloads area.  I hope you can pay a visit

« on: September 21, 2006, 08:14:04 pm »
Hi, been a while since I posted, but wanted to let people know I and when I give Mavirab a shove, he will be too, working on some new products this Autumn for Haptek players.

Some freebies will be available from Digital Girl too in a few weeks - there's already a full freebie HTR of one of my biker girls available at www.chalicegraphics.co.uk and DG has a new article with news of the Haptek animator I am presently developing.

Presently I am working on new hair colours and textures for the available wigs, which will be available soon in our shop as full htr's.

The brief article is here :

Best wishes,

PS Sorry I missed you at the Loebner prize Rob, it would have been nice to meet you as well as attend, but with great timing I was in hospital at the time - maybe next year.  Hope you enjoyed it and London.  [8D]

General Discussion / Con artist at work on forum - Princess Scam
« on: August 17, 2006, 09:03:01 am »
Look out for unsolictied mail folks - this one grabbed my email from here, and is not registered under the username the email gives.
This is a pretty common scam, I think they bought the 'Scamming for Dummies Pack" where you fill in the blanks, as the wording for this kind of scam hasn't changed much in years.

This is what to look out for :

Its another obvious Scam.

You know whats really daft is if anyone did have that ammount of money tucked away, they would just go and open a bank account or get professional help - not ask some complete stranger half way across the world if they can do it for them lol

Nice story Princess, but try working for a living and in those imortal words, passed down through the ages, "**** off".

General Discussion / The News
« on: August 12, 2005, 07:27:24 pm »
AI News:

Freddy was able to pull himself away from a large group of admiring fans today, as he pulled up in his new red Ferrari.  Parking the car sideways on to me and after finally persuading the semi-naked model to remove herself from the bonnet, he told me he was honoured to have received the Senior Member accolade at Zabaware.

"This ranks as one of my finest achievements, I can't thank Zabaware enough.  I only hope my next film will be more in the realms of good taste.  Oh, you don't know about the film."


Other News:

Today we learnt that the AI aboard the space shuttle was relieved that the mission had gone so well.  She reported it was such a relief to her that there was a female astonaut on board to talk to, as it had become tiresome being asked to take her clothes off so frequently by the male crew members.  Next mission she hopes that a larger wardrobe will be part of the deal and that people will stop complaining when she goes off topic.
