Howdy ladies and gentlemen,
New to the chat room at rebol.org: Pundit.
Pundit likes to talk politics.
Sometimes he's evasive, sometimes he's redundant, but he's
often moderately coherent and on topic. Here's a short
transcript ("pundit:" is how you address pundit, ie. those are
the questions I'm asking him):
pundit: What do you think about congress?
jeff: Life is unfair.
pundit: No really, what is your opinion of congress?
jeff: He makes no value judgments.
pundit: Do you like congress?
jeff: I don't miss being in politics.
Pundit: Aren't you still in politics?
jeff: I wasn't obsessed with politics, dance!
pundit: Would you like to be a senator?
jeff: Senator from New York, this august body and all of us
who...deserve the title of Senator, my God!
pundit: so you would like to be a senator?
jeff: It is perhaps accurate for Senator Gramm and myself to
describe the Daschle proposal as being Sex, little boy as
individuals rather than Senator So-and-So from Minnesota or
Senator So-and-So from Alabama.
Pundit: That was weird.
jeff: George didn't go for that.
Pundit: You're crazy. I'll talk to you later. Bye!
jeff: You have to stop kidding about this.
He really is a typical politician. You gotta grill him to get
anywhere.
It's fun writing these bots. If anybody else wants their bot
added to the room (Allen?) , give me a holler and I'll hook it
up when I can. Try to make the bot pretty well self contained,
a single script with maybe with one additional datafile, and not
tons of globals sticking out. Also provide a calling function
which takes a string of something someone said, and returns the
response in a string. Also provide a response string that is
said if the bot has an error. Lastly provide it a name that it
is addressable by in the chat room.
Holler at me about your bot at this account or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Aloha--
-jeff
