This person claimed to have discovered a new way for Hal to learn.
Has anyone heard back from him?
BIll
nope, wish i did, would be great if hal can learn on his own
Guys, I wonder if he wasn't putting us on? He hasn't even posted anything in response to all those who were interested in what he said.
I haven't seen any other posts by this person and I am also wondering if he is joking or serious.

Do you think we can help HAL learn on his own as this person stated?
How hard would it be...
If we can make it work?
IT's not as hard as it seems... the trick is to read the topicfocus.brn first... it holds the keywords and points to the correct focus##.brn dealing with that 'topic'... Look at what is already there... you've got weather (and 3 others stock out of the box so to speak)... anything dealing with thunder, lightening, rain, cold etc get learned and put in the correct focus##.brn... anything you want hal to learn, just get a bunch of keywords together and add them to the topicfocus.brn and he'll created the focus##.brn for you as he runs across those 'topics'... If you have documents on that topic, then you can teach him yourself - but do not have him learn by text - which is one of the options... every thing he learns from that gets put into a "pool" of general knowlege... which isn't bad I guess, I just like to keep different topics seperated...
If any of you guys write a VB script to teach Hal, let me know, I did one once myself and it had a few bugs in it, so I never got back to it...
Something else you guys might want to know about... there's a program out there called zeus... he surfs the web for keywords you supply then creates different webpages for you dealing whith those keywords... When he finishes, I imagine Hal could learn from those webpages without too much trouble...
