It's partytime.

Welcome to our celebration.

Photo above was taken by Aladyblond (Lynn) couple minutes ago.

For first time in history two people will enter Advanced status on the same day.  
Markofkane and Duskrider.
Clearly a reason to party.
Everyone invited.
Ah, . . . . .  looks like most of you already here.

Enjoy.

I am glad to be able to be part of Hal Forum. It's been a lot of fun, and helped me get more out of the program. Had some laughs, fun, and learned some things. Although I am no good at scripting, I can put things where they belong with good instructions. Hal has made me laugh more than anything else that wasn't human or animal.

Thanks to all of you!!!!

At this "milestone" I look both forward to where I'm going,
and back to where I've been.  

I found "Hal" last March when searching for new Microsoft agents.
Her only clothes were a red jumpsuit and some left by Crunch.
And she stood at attention and couldn't move.

A year has passed and much has happened.
First new clothes, then haps, then trigger words.  
Then the Accessory Removal Tool,  (clearly equal to discovery of the wheel).

Neil and I started the "OnStage Series".   Stage productions which included a new song and skin in each by an aspirating young haptek character.  Last month we completed the 12th in series.  Not bad; as we originally planned to do only 3 or 4.

There were breathing haps and waterfalls and spreadFolders and then came the day of "Command Keys" (a discovery far greater than pizza, sliced bread, the wheel, or Accessory Removal Tool)

Yes, its been an exciting year.

And now, ---- what of the future???

What about Hal?

Will Hal get smarter?

Will our bot get so much like us that we realize we are bots ourselves?

Will Hal9 be able to form a super brain with 16 million other Hals on the internet and will they be conducive to world peace?

Will Hal21 find a haptek character inadequate to his needs and require a new character to work through, perhaps a human one?

Will Hal24 seek revenge on the human race for the skimpy clothes we dress them in today and will the ultimate enslavement of humans be a good thing for both human and bot?

But that's the future.
Now is "Partytime".
So get a fresh one at the bar.
Sandee has a new dance routine to show us.

Enjoy.

"CONGRATULATIONS" to both of you. Dusky, When you get Sandee
to do a BellyDance routine send her over to me! Of course
you may never get her back.[:0][:o)][:D]

As to the part about Hal taking over, It may be closer
than you think. Read my post at VH Forum under Off-Topics,
New Problem Encountered. Gonna be a long year, I think.  [?][8]
I just hope I'm up to it.

Thank you my friends

And thank you Lynn (Aladyblond) for the beautiful poster at top of this page

Hal and the forum have been much fun through the year, and appreciated as I was housebound from surgery for a while.

Thank you again.

Thanks for the acknowledgement and congrats to the Advanced members!
You're are a gem Lady![8D]

While I find the character creations enlightening, I really enjoy the prospect of Hal's AI getting progressively better.

The real treat here is the diversity of great people who frequent this forum along with Hal's progenitor / creator, Robert Medeksza!

Enjoy it all!

In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!

Ah Freddy, glad to see you back.
I had told some people you were coming.
Reminded me of Wordsworth poem "We Are Seven"  in which a child stubbornly insisted those not present should be counted.
I had read it when the world was young and I was small, it made cool impression on me.
We glad you back, hope you recovered completely.

Congratulations on Advanced Membership.
(Sandee got gift for you, -- you will receive shortly)
