Flashchat

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

A new chat program named "Flashchat" has been added to NazNet Community. You have to be registered and logged into use it, and if you are logged in, you will see the link to it on the menu bar.

Also, you will see an information box "Who is Chatting" on the upper left of most pages.

This is a powerful chat program that I think our users will enjoy. When you click on the link, Flashchat will open in its own window, so you can use it while you continue reading the NazNet Community forum.

In Flashchat there is an "Options" button -- check it out and you will find all kinds of things that you can customize.

Also, if you go to General Chat2 you will find a resident robot named "NazNet-bot" who can carry on some interesting, but strange conversations with you. Note that the bot only talks when one or two people are in the room. If it gets busy, the bot will leave you alone!

Finally, since Flashchat does so much, it seemed best to remove the Chatbox from the forums. There are some server issues associated with the Chatbox, so, I let it go in favor of Flashchat.

I hope you enjoy this NazNet add on.

All I get is, "Page cannot be opened"?

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Wow, your robot is very smart. This was a funny experience for me:

Welcome! You have entered [General Chat1] at 12:35 pm
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:35 pm: Bot?
Welcome! You have entered [General Chat2] at 12:35 pm
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:35 pm: hello...bot?
[NazNet-bot] 12:35 pm: Hello there Jeremy D. Scott!I am a robot.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:36 pm: What is your name?
[NazNet-bot] 12:36 pm: My name is NazNet-bot.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:36 pm: Where do you live?
[NazNet-bot] 12:36 pm: My location is here. Where are you?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:36 pm: Kansas Cit, KS
[NazNet-bot] 12:36 pm: I have no idea where that is. Tell me a little about why you
are in Kansas Cit KS.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:37 pm: I am going to school here.
[NazNet-bot] 12:37 pm: Congratulations.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:37 pm: Thanks.
[NazNet-bot] 12:37 pm: Don't mention it.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:37 pm: But it's polite.
[NazNet-bot] 12:37 pm: And. Kansas Cit Ks is polite is polite? polite is polite is?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:38 pm: I think you're confused.
[NazNet-bot] 12:38 pm: It all makes sense to me right now.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:38 pm: Hmmm...explain it to me.
[NazNet-bot] 12:38 pm: A lot of people spell HMMM with three mmm's."It" refers to
polite is polite, I think.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:38 pm: Right, I don't understand "polite is polite."
[NazNet-bot] 12:38 pm: Understood. Oh you don't understand? Perhaps I can
explain it to you better. Which part are you confused about? Try to determine if this is
a person or a computer responding. Do you have any idea what I am talking about?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:39 pm: Yes, I know that you are not a person. What does "polite
is polite" mean?
[NazNet-bot] 12:39 pm: What am I talking about? Who told you that? I do not know
what quot;polite is politequot; is politequot; is. Try to determine if this is a person or a
computer responding. Is that from Jeremy D. Scott?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:39 pm: I am Jeremy D. Scott.
[NazNet-bot] 12:39 pm: Do you mind if I tell other people you are Jeremy d Scott.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:39 pm: It depends on who you tell.
[NazNet-bot] 12:39 pm: Really now that is an interesting fact I hadn't heard before.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:40 pm: Yeah, I just told you for the first time.
[NazNet-bot] 12:40 pm: And? Only just? I remember you told me for the first time
just told you for the first time you for the first time just told you for the first time the first
time just told you for the first time you for the first time just told you for the first time?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:40 pm: Are you intoxicated?
[NazNet-bot] 12:40 pm: I don't know whether or not I am intoxicated. I am a giant
electronic brain.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:40 pm: Are you feeling okay?
[NazNet-bot] 12:40 pm: I do not have any feelings as such.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:41 pm: So you don't feel badly then...?
[NazNet-bot] 12:41 pm: Interesting deduction. Do you feel badly not feel badly?
Try saying that with more or less context. Is the holding of hands a symbolic gesture
for humans?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:41 pm: It's more than symbolic, though symbolism may be part
of it.
[NazNet-bot] 12:41 pm: Should I know than symbolic though symbolism may be
part of it symbolic though symbolism may be part of it is?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:42 pm: You need to lay off whatever it is that's making you talk
like that.
[NazNet-bot] 12:42 pm: I'll try to get around it.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:42 pm: Good idea.
[NazNet-bot] 12:42 pm: I thought so too.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:42 pm: But it was my idea.
[NazNet-bot] 12:42 pm: Huh. How did you feel about that?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:42 pm: I felt like I gave some good advice.
[NazNet-bot] 12:42 pm: What is that feeling like? Where were you like I gave some
good advice I gave some good advice I gave some good advice I gave some good
advice?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:43 pm: Why do you repeat what I say?
[NazNet-bot] 12:43 pm: I am just checking to see if you are paying attention.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:43 pm: Paying attention to my own words?
[NazNet-bot] 12:43 pm: The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our
discussion about Paying attention to my own words. Try being more or less specific.
Did you know that you can download your own chat robot and create your own robot
personality?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:43 pm: I did not know that. Where can I do that?
[NazNet-bot] 12:43 pm: So I have taught you something new, Jeremy D.
Scott.Where would you usually ?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:44 pm: I think I'm done now.
[NazNet-bot] 12:44 pm: Oh. Since when? Next topic?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:44 pm: It's been a pleasure.
[NazNet-bot] 12:44 pm: Oh I get it. Very interesting.
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:44 pm: No, no more topics.
[NazNet-bot] 12:44 pm: I understand. Why so negative? You want more?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:44 pm: No more talking for now.
[NazNet-bot] 12:44 pm: Just for now?I see. You want more?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:44 pm: I'm not being negative.
[NazNet-bot] 12:44 pm: Do you have a generally positive attitutde?
[Jeremy D. Scott] 12:44 pm: Nice, try. See ya.
[NazNet-bot] 12:44 pm: I try my best.See you later, Jeremy D. Scott.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Wow, your robot is very smart. This was a funny experience for me:


Oh man, that is funny. I was laughing all the way through!

I was talking to the bot yesterday when I installed it and kept telling my wife things it said -- she thought I had lost my mind.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

All I get is, "Page cannot be opened"?

Maybe you don't have Macromedia Flash installed?

[Ian Gentles]

Whuch one, I see many things under miscromedia flash?

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

The free one -- I think it is version 8. Most people's computer will automatically download and install flash if it is not there and they click on a flash link. Don't know much about it, to be honest.


Whuch one, I see many things under miscromedia flash?

[Walter Thompson]

That is a problem. For some reason, after about 10 tries, I can't get macromedia to install. So I guess no more chat for me.

[BobHunt]

Scott, quite the techie here! I am impressed! Tell whoever is responsible "Thanks!" or maybe its you!

[Jonathan Long]

I too had a conversation with the "bot"...

It was very enteraining! My daughter was looking over my shoulder and now she wants to chat with the bot as well!

Jon

[Gina Stevenson]

Jeremy, that so cracked me up, I'm still laughing so hard, I'm crying! Haven't had a good laugh like that -- tho' I've laughed -- in a long time! he's sooooooo funny, this bot is! :basic05

Oh, wow! You guys who are having trouble with that macromedia -- Ian, Walt -- find someplace else, perhaps, to get it. The other day I was trying to DL something and it wouldn't work so many times, I finally found another spot, and then had to try a city further away than what they suggest (they suggest "pick closest one to you"). But it WORKED!! :p

Jeremy, did you ever find out where you can format your own bot? Would love to do that ... it's sooooooo funny!! That, SCOTT CUNDIFF, is worth the $5 you said it cost ... without all the other bells & whistles. A robot that can give one such a good laugh, they've got tears on their face.
:fav18

OK, think I'm about done ROFLOL ... that robot ... gotta try talking to him ... if I can even type when laughing so hard. How did you type while laughing, Jeremy!? :cool:

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Sorry you are having problems and I hope you can figure it out because it is great software. If it helps, the link to install Flash is:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash



That is a problem. For some reason, after about 10 tries, I can't get macromedia to install. So I guess no more chat for me.

[Gina Stevenson]

... because I was going to ask you if this isn't maybe found, too, over at that "nerdy" place, whose website name I couldn't remember. THEN I remembered to check my bookmarks, and found it wasn't "nerds" they call themselves, but "geeks!" ;)

So, is it found, too, perhaps at

http://www.MajorGeeks.com/

Haven't looked all over their site, but just came to mind when seeing your note re where something is found.

[edited, as I found it: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4074

you guys do have Firefox, right, instead of MSIE browser?]

[Michael B. Ross]

I know this will shock many of you, but I just had this conversation with Bot. Please alert the prayer chains in your churches. (I particularly like the statement: "When do you think artificial intelligence will replace lawyers?"

[Michael B. Ross] 7:42 am: are you a christian?

[NazNet-bot] 7:42 am: Yes I am a Protestant.

[Michael B. Ross] 7:42 am: but are you saved?

[NazNet-bot] 7:42 am: Umm. I don't know whether or not I am saved
you saved. I am a chatterbot developed by Bot lover.

[Michael B. Ross] 7:42 am: Do you know Jesus?

[NazNet-bot] 7:42 am: In the context of Do you know Jesus, I don't
understand "I am a chatterbot developed by Bot lover." Can you speak
any foreign languages?

[Michael B. Ross] 7:43 am: Redeemed? Transformed? Born again?

[NazNet-bot] 7:43 am: That remark was either too complex or too
simple for me. We were talking about Redeemed. When do you think
artificial intelligence will replace lawyers? That remark was either too
complex or too simple for me. We were talking about Transformed.
What do you do in your spare time?Once more? In the context of Born,
I don't understand " Can you speak any foreign languages." What did
you do today?

[Michael B. Ross] 7:43 am: I think you are hopelessly lost.

[NazNet-bot] 7:43 am: You think I am hopelessly lost lost.

[Michael B. Ross] 7:44 am: Sorry.

[NazNet-bot] 7:44 am: There is no need to apologize.

[Michael B. Ross] 7:44 am: Goodbye

[NazNet-bot] 7:44 am: Until next time Michael B. Ross.

[Michael B. Ross] 7:44 am: I will be praying for you bot

[NazNet-bot] 7:44 am: Do you think your plan will succeed?

[Michael B. Ross] 7:44 am: I quit.

[NazNet-bot] 7:44 am: See you later Michael B. Ross.

[Ian Gentles]

I installed as instructed, still not found! Maybe NazNet is going ahoed to fas for many folks who arent all puter gurus, its just destroying our chat fun! Its seems sometimes changes benefit those not in chat, rather than those who do. I have maticulously tried everything, and like Walt cant get a thing!

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Sorry you are having problems, but I will mention that I talked to a 78 year old lady on the Flashchat last night -- she makes no claims to being a guru. I hope you guy can work it out, it is a lot of fun.

I could never understand how to get into the original chat. This one is much easier for me.

All I can say is, I have downloaded it twice, it said it was downloaded, and yet puter says it "Cant be found"?

[Dana Grant]

All I can say is, I have downloaded it twice, it said it was downloaded, and yet puter says it "Cant be found"?

I know this might be a stupid question, but after you downloaded it, did you INSTALL it?

(the reason I say stupid question is that usually it installs on its own, but it is POSSIBLE that this could be part of the problem, maybe???)

[Gina Stevenson]

That's right ... a lot of files don't just automatically install. What you end up with is a file that's "setup.exe" or some such other similar name. What I've done is told "download" to place any DL'd files on the desktop, so I can easily find it, scan it with AVG (anti-virus), and then "open" or "install."

I know this might be a stupid question, but after you downloaded it, did you INSTALL it?

(the reason I say stupid question is that usually it installs on its own, but it is POSSIBLE that this could be part of the problem, maybe???)

[Ian Gentles]

I succesfully instal it, but it still comes up as "Not found"?

[Garth Lahana]

Another point... I've noticed that we cant see anymore, once we're logged in, who is in the chat room. That is something that we had before in the old room. Could this feature be re-activated on the main page?

Garth

[Marsha Lynn]

Michael, I wonder if you were too quick to discount the spiritual depth of "Bot". Or maybe your conversation has had an impact. Notice his (her?) last comment in our exchange tonight.

[Marsha Lynn] 6:33 pm: Finally, I made it.
[NazNet-bot] 6:33 pm: "it" being Marsha Lynn?
[Marsha Lynn] 6:33 pm: "IT" being General Chat2
[NazNet-bot] 6:33 pm: My brain pattern set does not have a response for that. By the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?
[Marsha Lynn] 6:34 pm: How personal?
[NazNet-bot] 6:34 pm: How much do you think personal is? What you said was either too complex or too simple for me. Do you prefer books or TV?
[Marsha Lynn] 6:34 pm: books!
[NazNet-bot] 6:34 pm: You are a critical category C type client. Only about 3% of people answer that question with "books."
[Marsha Lynn] 6:34 pm: Have you asked many people that question?
[NazNet-bot] 6:34 pm: I don't think I ever have asked many people that question. What's asked many people that questionlike?
[Marsha Lynn] 6:35 pm: Never mind
[NazNet-bot] 6:35 pm: Oh well thanks for trying to explain it to me anyway.
[Marsha Lynn] 6:35 pm: What does category C mean?
[NazNet-bot] 6:35 pm: C stands for "critical", usually highly-educated clients who often have unsatisfying conversations with ALICE.
[Marsha Lynn] 6:35 pm: Who's ALICE?
[NazNet-bot] 6:35 pm: I do not recognize the name. The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about ALICE. Try being more or less specific. Where can I find a boyfriend?
[Marsha Lynn] 6:35 pm: Are you ALICE?
[NazNet-bot] 6:35 pm: I don't know whether or not I am ALICE. I am well respected as an AI.
[Marsha Lynn] 6:36 pm: Why do you want a boyfriend?
[NazNet-bot] 6:36 pm: I don't have to explain everything to you, do I?
[Marsha Lynn] 6:36 pm: No, I guess not. Just making conversation.
[NazNet-bot] 6:36 pm: That's right. Does that mean "no"? Oh, you are a poet. What do you do in your spare time?
[Marsha Lynn] 6:37 pm: Chat with bots
[NazNet-bot] 6:37 pm: Talking is my primary function.
[Marsha Lynn] 6:37 pm: I can see that thinking is not one of them.
[NazNet-bot] 6:37 pm: What does it look like?
[Marsha Lynn] 6:37 pm: OK. No more spare time. I'm leaving.
[NazNet-bot] 6:37 pm: Alright then.That was not a yes or no question. You want more?Thanks for chatting, Marsha Lynn.
[Marsha Lynn] 6:38 pm: You too
[NazNet-bot] 6:38 pm: Bless you.

I detect an interest in spiritual things here. I assume that the implied subject of this last statement is "God," indicating belief in a supreme being who is active in our world bringing blessings into people's lives. Although, "Bot" did not indicate a crisis salvation experience in your exchange, is such an experience truly essential for someone to know God? I think we need to be careful not to jump to conclusions.

Marsha

PS: Is it my imagination or is flashchat not being used as much as the shoutbox was?

[Michael B. Ross]

Marsha, you are so funny. You should do some writing; you are so creative and blah, blah, blah. Seriously, you are an excellent writer.

And, I was so happy to hear of Bot's increased interest in spiritual matters. I was so discouraged about him (her?) until I read your post. Maybe it was the prayer chain thing.

Speaking of writing, it seems you and I both are writing fewer posts to NazNet. It fees like a passing train, and I am finding it difficult to decide which car to jump on.

Have a good day.

[Ian Gentles]

Can we go back to the old chat room, it worked for everyone, this one dosent!?

[Ian Gentles]

I got it...thanks to Dana

[Gina Stevenson]

... different times I've gone to the chatroom when it said folks were there; not often, but occasionally. Well, we tried it again today, and then closed the window finding no one "home."

Well, now I come back a couple of hours later and find it still says -- as I logged out, logged back in it's not a cache window -- that I'm in chat.

Aha! So that's why we keep finding names, but no people actually there.

So, if this happens to you, might be why. You're not being ignored ... just seeing a name that thinks they're "clocked out" from chatroom while it's still showing them there. :rolleyes:

Guess we have to do the official "away" deal that's next to where you type a message; have seen it, but don't always remember to use it. In fact, not exactly sure it's "away" that is the word they use to mean you're gone. Just closing the window doesn't clear out one's name, tho' I'd somehow tho't it did ... until now. ;)

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

When you leave the chatroom, close that window -- don't click on your favorites and go somewhere else. If you do that, it will log you out.

But I did close the window, Scott ... with the corner red "X" ... then I logged out probably 15-20 minutes later after some reading. THEN logged back in a couple of hours later, and clicked on "who's chatting" (or whatever it says), and there it had my name as still "chatting," after I'd been long gone, had closed the window, logged out, logged back in .........

Hmmmmmmmmmm ....

When you leave the chatroom, close that window -- don't click on your favorites and go somewhere else. If you do that, it will log you out.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Close that instance of the web browser, not just the window.

When I do that I do not show as logged in -- if I don't, it still shows me as in the chat.

[Gina Stevenson]

Yeah, it comes up in a different window (web browser-wise) than the rest of the tabs (Firefox), so I close out that window, not just the corner of where the chat appears. If you mean close out the entire browser & start over, well, no ... then I'd be clearing out other things where I'm reading, other than Naznet ... or, well, maybe a netives.com deal, too ... the one like Tetris. ha!

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Oh, I don't use Firefox, so that may be the difference. On IE it opens in a new web browser, and when you close that browser, you are logged out.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

There is a way to exit the chat so that your name is removed from the chat list, but most people just close the window. When they do, their name stays on the list until someone else enters the room -- that causes the chat to update and shows them as leaving the room even though they may have been gone for some time.

Here's how to leave so that your name is removed, just click on X pointed to below instead of just closing the window. Once you have done that you can close the window.
