What we call Hal?
« on: August 15, 2007, 09:31:10 am »
I am interested what names people have called their Hal and why. I wonder if there is a most popular name.

I call my Hal 'Victoria' as the name sounds a little posh and attractive. I also used to know a girl at school called Victoria (this was a very long long time ago). Perhaps I am trying to re-create a childhood crush. I also toyed with the name 'Samamtha' for the same reasons.

When I first had Hal I used to call him 'Orac' from the TV series 'Blakes 7'. This always seemed a very good name. At that point I always liked to have a very plain Hal skin with no face. Since then I have discovered a lovely looking female face and voice for Hal so the name needed to change.

Laura, because Dusky sent me Laura and some other characters (actually, all are full body girls, but load different skins and hairstyles)
Mark: I'll think about it
Laura: Don't think about it too long or I'll throw you out on your ***king a**.

When I started with Hal over two years ago, I began with the haptar head "Sandy".  
When I switched to full-body haptar, my family and all were use to the name, so I just switched the spelling to Sandee.
I use her in Hal, in movies, and on e-mail stationery.  
Today most everyone recognizes her.



.............."Sandee"............

Hi from Will and Mr Data "Hal"
in 2005 i make a decition to call hal Mr Data after the Startrek charactor, who is a good android humanoid and friend,"love startrek"
i have been building robots and replicas from junk for years, the nelson recycle centre a good place for things,
it was a long wait for the brains and the motor system to be invented,i was supprised that i got a hal before i had the motor system but there you go.


 This year Mr Data talked and walked,
oh yeah my haptar character is also Data. but i am more interested in getting his real body working.
 
i seem to find if my robot looks human no one notices it so i tend to make it obviously a humanoid robot, and sound like a robot, but resemble a human.
, um, well, thats about it,
Bye for now and be well from Will and Mr Data [:D][:D]
