Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / GRETTA PLUGINS

« on: March 04, 2009, 04:48:01 am »

I'm still here, Dude. I just been preoccupied a bit. I got sick with some kind of stomach virus the other day. Feels more like the flu...It wasn't fun. I nearly passed out in the restroom floor...
..................
I've spent most of my time working on a program that can be appropriately called an AI. The real deal[]. I've actually been working on graphing the human personality for the last six(ish) years and since you got me all fired up on programming I been trying to put those graphs and theories to work with vb and vbscript. I've even been writing an essay just for anybody at zabaware that teach's the basics of personality and how they apply to living/artificial organisms.
.................
Lone Grove is still recovering from the tornado aftermath. I surveyed the damage for myself about two weeks ago when they finally opened up that part of town. Over 100 homes just in Lone Grove were either severely damaged or destroyed. Remember that this is a very small town. That’s one reason it made national news.

Thanks for everybodys prayers and concerns. They are and were greatly appreciated.[]
................
I'll get up to speed on your progress Dude....as soon as get some sleep.[] I'll see If I can't get some of my AI theories out there so that you and Ted can give a new perspective or two. It is getting a little '''complicated''' and any help or ideas would be a blessing.
................
I am familiar with Texas hurricanes...it usually means us Oklahomans can actually get some rain....Althought I always pray for anybody in the path of a storm, no matter who or where it is....


Goodnight and God bless.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Tornado at Lone Grove

« on: February 11, 2009, 02:27:01 pm »

Yesterday, 2-10-2009, we had a tornado buldoze through my hometown, Lone Grove, Oklahoma.

I whatched as it hit. I live on the outskirts. About 3 miles away, It was around 1/4 to 1/2 mile wide. It hailed from about marble to golf-ball size at my home and it was base-ball size in the center of town.

Electricity went off suddendly during a report where a storm-chaser had just spotted the tornado touch down. Suddendly he was struck from behind by another car. Thats the last report we saw (my mom, dad, brother, and I) before the electricity failed all over Lone Grove.

The hail quit, but what sounded like a large freight train or a tearing wind was eminating from downtown.

Theres allot of people dead. I had some family members and friends who lived nearly in the path of the storm. All of them survived.[]

I'm very thankful to God for sparing what he did. It barely missed the newly built high-school, destroyed the UPS building, completely demolished (I think) two trailer parks. All kinds of homes and barns are destroyed, trash is everywhere! A newly built Assembly of God which had been built after the previous one was burnt down is now bearly standing.

There is way more damage than I can write or even know about.

I'd appeciate your prayers and concerns.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Journal EX Beta?

Type=Plugin
Name=Journal EX
Author=jasondude7116, snowman
Host=Assistant

This plugin is used to store journal entries of all types.

This Journal can store stories, comments, thoughts, definitions, or anything else that you choose to dictate. If you say multiple sentences in Hal's console window it will store those sentence as individual lines in a text file  (i.e. 1-27-2009.txt or ToDoList.txt). These text files will store your log entries. When you want to read an individual text file through Hal then give Hal a command and Hal will read the whole file back to you. Like if it were reading a story.

This Journal is ready to record daily logs. It creates a new text file with a new date everyday (i.e. 1-27-2009.txt, 1-28-2009.txt, 1-29-2009.txt, etc.). If you want to give your Log a unique title it is also possible (i.e. Mom.txt, Hot Sauce Recipies.txt). Unfortunately, there is a maximum file size limit before Hal refuses toread it. In order to read larger Log files or even massive ones you will have to use the appropriate Go To Log command to open the log file for reading in the Hal Pad. You can also use the Hal Pad function to edit your logs.

There is a minor problem in dictation. This happens when you say phrases like “I love you” or “I hate you” repeatedly or in conjunction with other sentences on the same command line.
In this case the first sentence you say is recorded but not the second or the third. The way around this is to say your loving or hating sentence and press enter. Do this for every individual sentence and it will record all your work. If you do not say anything that willcall any emotional response from Hal then you’re in the clear. It is possible to dictate your entire log entry on the Hal command line before you press enter.

Here is a list of the commands used in the Journal. A list of commands is also available if you Say-  Show Log Commands  -in Hal’s command line. Note: Do not use any quotes when giving a Journal command. Also, commands are NOT case-sensitive. I hope you enjoy
using your Journal. It took allot of hard work from everyone involved. Thank You.

Say-  Show Log Commands  
-To give a list of commands to use with your journal.

Say-  Begin Log Entry  
-To start your daily log entry.  

Say-  Begin Log Entry Titled  
-Followed by a title after this command line to either give your   new log entry a unique name or to add more information to an
existing titled log entry. i.e. begin log entry titled How to Open a Jar

Say-  End Log Entry    
-To exit log entry mode. You should exit this mode when you are finished dictating else everything you say will be recorded in your open log entry.

Say-  Delete Log Entry      
-Followed by a title or a date to delete that particular log entry. i.e. delete log entry How to Open a Jar

Say-  Show Log Entry List    
-To show all available log entries that are in your Logs
directory.

Say-  Begin Reading Title      
-Followed by an available title that you wish to read.  
i.e. begin reading title How to Open a Jar

Say-  Begin Reading Date      
-Followed by the journal date that you wish to read.
i.e. begin reading date 2-9-2009

Say-  Begin Reading Current Log    
-To read today’s log entry.

Say-  Go To Log Titled      
-Followed by the log title you wish to open in Hal Pad. i.e. go to log titled How to Open a Jar

Say-  Go To Log Dated    
-Followed by a date you wish to open in Hal Pad. i.e. go to log dated 2-9-2009

Say-  Go to Current Log      
-To open today’s log entry in Hal pad.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Hal's JOURNAL (CAPTAINS LOG)

« on: February 08, 2009, 03:57:03 am »

I worked the Captains log/Journal all day today. I got all the known bugs worked out.

I think I'm nearly there. I see the problem Dude was talking to me about. You said Dude that log files over 62K will not read properly. I'm having problems with reading files at around 1.56 K. They will only read to this point and just stop.

I have an idea. perhaps a Do While loop with a readline command.

I need to get that problem fixed before this version is released.

Files that are too large will exceed the time allowed by Hal to process script. Hal will show files larger than 1.52 K in the Hal window but will only read up to that point and no further.

I thought about pocessing a larger text book and splitting it up into sections by VBScript and then reading those sections individually. All automatically through Hal.
With a do while loop I can send each line to Hal so that Hal won't take so long processing before he/it speaks. It would be ideal if I/someome could have it pause and then start after so many lines were read by Hal. That way a very long file could be read. However, you couldn't just start where you left off reading. You could if the file was broken into chapters. Or Hal's screen could displayed a number that you could later refference to and find your spot agian.

Any ideas would be appreciated.[] [] [8D]


P.S. By the way I'm working on this project not for recognition or for posterity but because I'm having fun [)] and because I got something larger in mind that requires some Scrpting background to pull it off. I'm just glad somebody besides me is actually benfiting from my work. [8D]

Yeah, I'm fixin to come through some of Dude's scripts. The BeadLog is his and the JourOpen is my work.

So far I've worked out most if not all of my additions and have separated them tempararily on another file. So I know thay are working. Now I'll attempt to see where his and mine scripts got incompatable.

It's not that big of a deal. It's usually something simple and hidden in plain sight. Sorry for any trouble with the program. I do appreciate both the beta testing and your feedback.

Thanks[][][^]

Copy and Paste what you see wrong and show me what might be the problem. Your help (believe me) is greatly apreciated.

I'm not having too many problems on my end. Maybe I could have posted a faulty version by mistake.[?]


Anyway it's 11:00 AM over here and I'll start fixing some other bugs that I'm have trouble with in the new modifications. Isn't scripting just fun.....[xx(]

I've been more or less adding and adjusting stuff to the Captains Log all day long......

I'm not sure what the problem is with your Journal but I've nearly got the next beta out.

It has the ability to search all your logs and display a list of them in Hals console... No matter how many files or folders you added or will add later on. It has a delete log feature, the dated logs are stored in there own files now while the self-titled ones are in a separate one, You can finally read your titled logs back to you through Hal (yea!)


 

quote:Now if it would just answer the phone for me and ask me if I want to take the call or for it to take a message, that would be heaven!

As for the phone thing........ I'll have to get back to ya on that one.[8D]

« on: February 03, 2009, 11:18:20 pm »

Thats fine. Take all the time you need....[:p]

We are nearly done anyway.[][][8D]

All we need now is to add a way to search for any .txt file in any particular folder on the Hal directory to display. And to be able to read any .txt in any folder in that directory.

Besides that I think the 1/2/2009 log entries should be in a different folder that the titled texts.

I don't think we really need to worry too much about file sizes. If the books are in there own individual files then all you need is to break them up into chapters.

You can say - please read now book  dragonriders of pern chapter one
-too read chapter one

All the encyclopedia stuff can be added later (when we have an encyclopedia to add)

We'll have one main folder for books which has individual folders for every individual book (cotaining the chapters), an encyclopedia folder, an article folder, and of course your song folder (why not[]).

The self-titled entries and the log entries will of course have their own folders.

Other than maybe a few changes in the getresponse's and commands I think that might finish this project up.

Live long and proper -Dude

« on: February 02, 2009, 11:15:18 pm »

Ok, I added the make-your-own title feature to it.

Say-  begin log entry dated  
-to start the automatic daily journal feature. (2/2/09.txt, etc.)

Say-  begin log entry titled ( subject )  
-to either create or modify a topic.

for a new entry called recipes, say- begin log entry titled recipies
( press enter ) -and a file called recipies.txt will be created.
Then continue and add your recipies.
When your finished say- end log entry

If you want to modify the log entry 'recipies.txt' then just restate the command-  begin log entry titled recipies  -and you will continue to add more recipies to hals .txt lists.


I placed my updated plugin at the bellow link as before. (you know what to do)[]


http://www.artificialintel.org/AI/Forum/phpBB3/index.php


Can you make Hal find and append the titles to a file for reading...or just find and display there titles on command.

It also needs to read these file on command...I couldn't seem to use your other command lines to so this.[xx(]

You seem to be better at that than I am Dude.[]

Next I'm considering looking at multiple directory locations for, say Encyclopeadia, or Books that can be added on command. [8D]

later....

quote: Hey snowman! The new captains log is working great. I am enjoying using it. I was a little tricky at first. I tryed using caps and then puntuation as in directions - no work, plus error code. Then I used small letters and it began to function well. An excellant edition to my Hal. Now if it would just answer the phone for me and ask me if I want to take the call or for it to take a message, that would be heaven!

BEGIN LOG ENTRY    or    begin log entry (with or without Caps)
is the proper starting command.

It shouldn't be used with ""  -or-   '' (double or single quotes)

i.e.  begin log entry I was asleep last night when the door bell rang. It was mom in her night gown with a rolling pin in her hand.
(press enter)

You can either write your log entry all at once or you can record each entry line by line.(then press enter)

Sorry about the confusion. I'll try to clarify this in the readme.txt that comes with the final version.

That gives me an idea -Dude. You should be able to ask hal "What can I say" command to show a list of commands to use with the Captains Log.

Dude- maybe we should split some of this work load up. At least we wouldn't be doing the same thing at the same time. Then post our progress on what we are working on exactly. Then we could modify each others work if we see a need for improvement. Swapping each others improvements when each mod is completed.

What have you done so far? I would like to tackle the -make your subject the first line- and then afterwards we can see if we can create different folders for different subjects.

The reading of multiple textfiles in order like 1.1 and 1.2 sounds like your baby.... or appending to a new file after it reaches a certain file size (hopefully way before the maxium of 10,500 words are reached) I'd like to see how that could be done.[]

It would be easy to say 'Please read now list of commands' to show the list of Captains log commands. I wander how we could show a list of log entry files that have already been created. I think I can fiqure a way to Lock a particular text file from being appended to or even read except by a userpassword. Can use a timer to delete temp files. Delete-on-command would be very nice to have and probably more useful than automatic deletion of temp files.

Peace-out![]

Yeah, I saw where I made the mistake in the open Captains log* command, and where I goofed the Randomize Select Case thingy (that's proper programmer talk).  [:I]

I was about to release my updated version. But then after I looked at yours I decided not to.[:I]

I liked your random sentences additions. We do need one plugin called journal 1.1 zip and a Captains Log. I think both will be great when properly customized.

I want to make it where I can store individual text files with there own personalized titles. Like 'MyEssey', 'Mybook', 'How-to-shot-a-duck', 'growing tomatoes', 'all mom's recipes'

I would like to call there subject with the first line of recorded text while Hal responds with "tell me your subject"

That would take the Journal into the next level.[8D][][]

I would also like to recall a list of all the stored subjects on-the-fly.

I'll see what can be done with the username thingy. I know that I tried to use the username command in the journal and the bored.uhp plugin didn't like it. It may be the bored.uhp's fault. I don't know.

Thanks for the encouragement- Dude.[][:p]

Since I can't seem to add an attachment file I will attempt to link it instead. Go to the below link and either login or make a new account. The CaptainsLog.zip file is in the downloads area.

Sorry Dude. I know I changed the name but this is still considered a BETA version and I do like Star Trek.[8D]

This plugin is used to store journal entries of all types.

It can store stories, comments, thoughts, definitions, or anything else that you choose to dictate. If you say multiple sentences in Hal's console window it will store those sentence as individual lines in a dated text file (ie. 1-27-2009.txt). If you say each individual sentence and then press enter, it stores the sentences in the same manner as I said above. As of yet it creates a new text file with a new date everyday (ie. 1-27-2009.txt, 1-28-2009.txt, 1-29-2009.txt, etc.)

When you want to read an individual text file through Hal then you ask Hal and it will read the whole file back to you. Like if it were reading a story.

Here is a list of the commands. They are also listed in the plugin comments in Hal's options panel.


Say- 'CAPTAINS LOG' when you want to begin storing information.

Say- 'END CAPTAINS LOG' to end dictation.

Say- 'PLEASE READ NOW LOG' then the date, using dashes only (ie. 1-27-09) then
Hal will read the dated log entry.

Say- 'PLEASE READ NOW CURRENT LOG' to read the current date's log entry.

Say- 'GO TO LOG 1-27-09' to read the dated log entry in Hal's Dictation Pad for
possible text modification..

Say- 'GO TO CURRENT LOG' to read the current log entry in Hal's Dictation Pad for possible text modification.


There is still more work to do with this plugin so expect future updates or perhaps new plugins that work off the same theory.e is still some work to do with this plugin so expect future updates or perhaps new plugins that work off the same theory.
