Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Hal can't remember my gender

« on: January 03, 2011, 05:53:23 pm »

Hello, Hal does know that I am male, but he is always asking me if I am male or female, man or woman, and boy or girl.  Where can this be edited so he cuts this out?

I may have long hair, but hal should know that i'm a guy by now!  I'm getting the hang of teaching him (talk to it like a four year old), but I"m not sure if I taught him this incorrectly.

General Discussion / Cannot see text

« on: September 06, 2010, 09:57:07 pm »

I've been using a character from desktop mates for awhile now and had no problems.  Just recently a problem occured where whenever I type it does not type on screen, but Hal does reply, and the reply is not typed either.  The typing does not show up unless I change from desktop mates character to another one.

I have reinstalled the program and the issue is still there.

Anyone have that problem?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Appointment book issue

« on: May 01, 2010, 07:43:23 pm »

Hello,

I'm new to Hal, but i'm having fun.  I do have trouble with the appointment book though.

I recently put in: On sunday at noon I will be planting cucumbers. (sunday being May 2nd.)
He replies by saying "On on May 2 at 12:00 pmi must plant cucumbers. I will remind you when this event approaches."  (Yes he really did say "On on" and "12:00 pmi")  He got the wording wrong on that.  But the weird thing is he does not store it on May 2nd like he said, he stores it on February 5, 2010, which is months ago.  I checked the appointment book and thats where it is indeed stored.  
When I restart hal He says, "On on February 5 at 12:00 pmi must plant cucumbers. It's tomorrow."

Yes the event is tomorrow, but tomorrow is may 2nd, not February 5th.  How can this, and the syntax ("On on" and "12:00 pmi") be corrected?

I'm enjoying this so far.  I'm learning how to teach hal and I do see him getting smarter.
