More Control

[Geodesic]

I would really like to make hal more useful by being able to use hal to control all of my programs startup, shutdown and some control within the program
e.g.
hal run firefox
-running firefox
hal connect to www.google.com
-connecting to www.google.com
hal use google to search for norse mythology
-searching google
hal go to search page to on google
-connecting to page 2

Do you see what I mean?? I want to be able to use hal to control all parts of the application, not just open program and search help files.

Another thing is I would like to know is how I can get hal to perform a search of the local hard drive.

When I say search or find hal opens up IE and looks on google, could I say 'hal find out about gengis kahn' and hal would search google. But if I wanted to find something on the hard drive I could say 'hal search for fire.max'?

Another thing is how can I add more programs to hals list. At the moment hal does not know where winamp, firefox and some other programs are.
Thankyou

Hello again

Perhaps a better example would be...

hal run winamp
-Now running winamp

hal go to next track
-skipping track

hal turn the winamp volume down to 60%
-(hal turns the volume down)

I really dont know if this is possible but I would really like to know how to do it. So if anyone has any suggestions please share them.
Thankyou

Perhaps we need a MACRO maker for HAL.
There's so many functions we need it to make, restore windows, minimize windows, next track on winamp, stop winamp, play again... etc...

Do you a software named REALIZE VOICE? It has all this. The best program to control Windows and aplications by voice. It isn't intelligent, only recognize dictated sentences.

If had the ability that we could create our own Macros, it would be unlimied!

BTW - "Hal...open winamp and play the song HUMPTY DUMPTY from artist Chick Corea"

But I really dream with an electronic interface that I could plug on my PC and control all my house:

"Hal, lock all doors, turn out the lights, and wake me up at seven! call to my girlfriend at 6:45am and tell her I'll be late, and at 6:55 turn on microwave and prepare my breakfast. At 4 pm, call my cell number and warn me about my compromise tomorrow night.."

Ah, I recalled one very easy: What about an script to remember aniversaries ?

Hi Geo.

you can get my websurfer plugin for HAL here:

http://www.ultrahal.com/community/index.php?topic=7004.msg49532#msg49532

it will do what you are asking.

download the zip and unzip into the ultra hal assistant 6 folder then open up Hals plugin options and check the box that says websurfer.

You use an editor to look in side the plugin to add any phrases that might not be edited in it.

It seems that Sybershot had issues with it not playing well with his 64 bit processor. Did you make corrections to change it from 32 to 64 so that most can make use of it?

My method is:

Step 1: Create a .cmd with this code in it

Code: [Select]

cd %C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox%
start /max https://websitenamehere.com
Step 2: Create a shortcut to the .cmd file.

Thank you OTCE. Will give a try tonight.

Sorry OTCE it only took me a few weeks damn I'm getting slower not busier or I'd be making more money, oh I forgot that's how it works now.

Back on Topic your plugin works fine for me as well. No errors or hang-ups. Opens default browser quickly with the maps or pictures with info I need.

Built my computer(Desktop) using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit just over a year ago and has been solid as a rock with no problems at all.

Thanks, but if I missed something or didn't put enough time in it I will get back hopefully before you build a new one.

Here is one for windows media player, I updated it to work with the current Hal.

It is what it is.

I am not going to advance its programming so there won't be any extra support for it.
