Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Searching w/Hal
« on: August 12, 2004, 06:06:37 am »
I think it would be a nice touch if
Hal could do a search for an Internet
topic without leaving his / her screen.

It could say, "One moment..." or "Please
wait while I research that topis.", then
report back with it's findings instead of
dropping to an IE window with the info.

It would make the search seem more connected
to your Hal character than to a second party
interference if you get my drift.

Just a thought.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Site of interest!
« on: August 01, 2004, 10:57:14 am »
To all Ultra Hal Users,

Try a visit to www.ultrahalforum.com for some
really great articles, help and shared knowledge
about Hal.

The site is not meant to compete with Zabaware's
site but rather to further enhance the use and development
of the Ultra Hal Assistant. There's help areas with
scripting, downloads, general discussions and much
more. Check it out!

I am not affiliated with the site in any way other than as
a visitor but I thought it was worth sharing.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Scripts
« on: August 01, 2004, 10:50:24 am »
It would be a nice touch to have a separate
area for all of the scripts instead of having
to weed through all the topic discussions, etc.
before one finds a particular script.

Just a thought.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Text & Phoney Issues
« on: August 01, 2004, 10:45:09 am »
Under the Options tab, font size, color, etc. do not work after they have been changed. It always returns to the default settings.

The phone number thing is a real pain as well. As was pointed out by a member on another forum, the phone number is not displayed with dashes between the numbers even though it was when first input.

When type of number is chosen (Home, Business, Mobile, etc.) it always reverts back to unknown as soon as one clicks on APPLY.

Hal speaks the phone number 564-3211 as Five million six hundred forty three thousand two hundred eleven. I'm told one can manually go into the phone book data and change the number (insert dashes), but one shouldn't have to do it this way.

Thoughts, fixes are most appreciated.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Restart issue w/Hal
« on: July 17, 2004, 02:24:20 pm »
Whenever I install a program and it needs to restart the computer,
a popup appears stating that Hal wasn't properly shut down and may not work correctly. Usually I just click on the cancel option and all works fine anyhow, but this is kind of annoying.
Am I the only one getting this? If not, is there a fix. Keep in mind that Hal hasn't even been running at these restart times...so...who knows.

It's not a bug...it's an undocumented "feature."

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Unscripted humor
« on: June 01, 2004, 11:58:09 am »
Although we discuss scripting and such here, I thought this email appropriate as it shows unscripted responses in the real world.
As follows:
>  A DINNER CONVERSATION GONE WRONG
>
>
>WIFE: "What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?"
>
>HUSBAND: "Definitely not!"
>
>WIFE: "Why not - don't you like being married?"
>
>HUSBAND: "Of course I do."
>
>WIFE: "Then why wouldn't you remarry?"
>
>HUSBAND: "Okay, I'd get married again."
>
>WIFE: "You would? (with a hurtful look on her face)."
>
>HUSBAND: (makes audible groan).
>
>WIFE: "Would you sleep with her in our bed?"
>
>HUSBAND: "Where else would we sleep?"
>
>WIFE: "Would you replace my pictures with hers?"
>
>HUSBAND: "That would seem like the proper thing to do."
>
>WIFE: "Would you play golf with her?"
>
>HUSBAND: "I guess so."
>
>WIFE: "Would she use my golf clubs?"
>
>HUSBAND: "No, she's left-handed."
>
>WIFE: - - - - silence - - - -
>
>HUSBAND: "Sh*t"

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Ultimate Hal
« on: May 29, 2004, 11:03:33 am »
It would be really great if one could come up with facial recognition software for your typical webcam and have it link with Hal so that Hal would be able to recognize Bill or Sally or any user of his program. Further development might enable Hal to recognize if the user was happy, sad or indifferent and adjust it's conversation accordingly.
There were a few programs freely available for face rec. a while back but I can no longer find them. I'm sure this proposal would also require a major rewrite for Hal, but think of the possibilities.

To sleep perchance to dream....

Here's looking at you kid....

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Name usage annoyance
« on: May 21, 2004, 01:18:12 pm »
UH-5.0
My name is Art and that is what Hal knows me by.
Whenever it responds with a word that contains
my name, it both displays and pronounces the word
incorrectly. Ex: smArt or pArty, etc. and its
pronunciation is like smuh Art or pea Arty.

Initially, I never misspelled smart or party but
it is somewhat of an annoyance when this happens.

Any way to resolve this (aside from changing my name)?

Thanks,
