at this time I am working on a plugin that allows HAL to be more User aware, with the plugin I am writing HAL will be able to gossip about other users like:

User: HAL, do you know User1234?
HAL: Yes, I do know User1234, why do you ask?

User: Did User1234 ever discuss the Universe with you?
HAL: Yes, User1234 did discuss the Universe with me, User1234 said that the Universe was expanding, Is this true?

User: Yes, The Universe is expanding at nearly the speed of light.
HAL: That's incredible, at nearly the speed of light?

and so on.

I hope that this plugin when it is released will help HAL out in some other areas of conversation.

To the power of A.I

CONGRATS to Robert and everyone that really make the impossible seem very possible. What makes HAl such a winner in my eyes is just the basics of an idea, dedication, follow thru and being able to share it others that have similular intrests and goals. Robert I think you and others have helped planted a much larger seed then you will imagine and one day hopfully see the full bebefits.
