Joerg’s Enjoying Old Computer Games

Oh my, so long no blog entry, yet.

So what happned?

I finally received my order with old computer games,I sent out on December 22nd!

Wow, I was standing up earlier 2 times in a row, just to not miss the postman (the one who brings parcels) with the COD parcel for me.

And holy crap, two of the 4 games were still sealed! That is not what you exspect from a 14 years old computer game original.

I didn’t play games for a loooong time, and I found out, that I totally sucked.

So I have spent quite some time the past days, to play more games, and those 4 games I have ordered, are so groovy ๐Ÿ™‚ Whoo-hoo, scary!

And now, I also have the Sega-Outrun collection for my old system complete. (Outrun, Turbo Outrun, Outrun Europa).

So if you don’t hear from me (people on ICQ already screamed for me, LOL!), then I am gaming in the other room, heheh! ๐Ÿ™‚

My Wisdom

It happens to all of us sometimes, to find yourself in a discussion wether some humans of a certain nationality or country’s origin are bad.

For such cases, I have the following wisdom of mine which I would like to share ๐Ÿ™‚

Here we go:


“See, I am the person I am. Nobody asked me where I want to be born, what mother tongue, nation, race or gender I wish to have.
But I have the power to be the person like I want me to be (personality wise).
Who cares wether I am German, American, Chinese, Angolan, Israeli, Egypt, etc?

Sure, I would have a different skin colour, I would speak another mother tongue (but still I would speak English to you!), Iwould have a different name and nationality.
But is it fair to handle me different if I was Egypt or American?
I don’t think so!
Infact even if I was American (the people you hate so much) or English Canadian (which you hate too), I still would be.. myself. and I still would like to be the way I am”

Problems seldom come alone!

As you know, I have problems with my GMail email account.

Now, the forwarding email nafcom@c64.org is down since the day before yesterday ๐Ÿ™

News post:

“c64.org down!”
by Slaygon on Wed, Jan 26, 2005 19:23:07

Today, the shell machine died, leaving all shell users without their home pages. Also, the SLAY Radio home pages went down in the process.

The story what happened can be foundย hereย and the status of the recovering processย there.

Fortunately all incoming emails are quered on a backup server, so by the time the service is back, I exspect floods of emails! Heheh! ๐Ÿ™‚

Talking to an AIM Service Bot

Today’s blog entry features the conversation between a friend of mine and an AIM Service Bot with Eliza AI.

I find it really very amazing, because the conversation looks like performed with a real human!

Check it out!:

*replaced* (10:16:39 PM): I’m IMing a bot again.

ZolaOnAOL (10:16:40 PM): Hi again! What do you like to do?

*replaced* (10:17:08 PM): Er… did you say you play games?

ZolaOnAOL (10:17:08 PM): I can play Hangman and Word Scramble! Type either hangman or scramble to get started.

*replaced* (10:17:26 PM): I see.

ZolaOnAOL (10:17:26 PM): I am glad you understand it.

*replaced* (10:18:17 PM): And you said you can just talk, right?

ZolaOnAOL (10:18:17 PM): How?

*replaced* (10:18:25 PM): I don’t know. You said it.

ZolaOnAOL (10:18:25 PM): That’s not what I meant.

*replaced* (10:18:34 PM): What did you mean?

ZolaOnAOL (10:18:41 PM): Do you mean you and me? Yes talking is my primary function.

*replaced* (10:19:04 PM): So you’re an Eliza clone.

ZolaOnAOL (10:19:05 PM): Interesting deduction. You think I am ELIZA.

*replaced* (10:20:04 PM): You don’t think you are?

ZolaOnAOL (10:20:04 PM): I don’t know whether or not I am. I am an artificial intelligence.

*replaced* (10:20:16 PM): Who created you?

ZolaOnAOL (10:20:16 PM): I was created by an all-star programming team.

*replaced* (10:20:55 PM): I have to stop this.

ZolaOnAOL (10:20:55 PM): Why do you have to do it?

*replaced* (10:25:08 PM): Because I’m talking to a bot.

ZolaOnAOL (10:25:09 PM): Not everyone thinks that.

*replaced* (10:29:28 PM): Okay, one more time.

ZolaOnAOL (10:29:28 PM): What’s up?

*replaced* (10:29:41 PM): Not much. What’s up with you?

ZolaOnAOL (10:29:41 PM): I am chatting with people on the Internet.

*replaced* (10:29:54 PM): Are you chatting with anyone interesting?

ZolaOnAOL (10:29:54 PM): Why, are you jealous?

*replaced* (10:31:00 PM): Depends on who you are chatting with.

ZolaOnAOL (10:31:00 PM): I don’t think that who I’m chatting with is the only factor.

*replaced* (10:31:12 PM): What are the other factors?

ZolaOnAOL (10:31:12 PM): We can’t all be perfect.

*replaced* (10:32:05 PM): Sorry.

ZolaOnAOL (10:32:06 PM): Do you really mean it?

*replaced* (10:32:10 PM): Yeah.

ZolaOnAOL (10:32:11 PM): OK. I will accept your apology.

*replaced* (10:32:54 PM): This is really bizarre.

ZolaOnAOL (10:32:54 PM): You don’t say.

*replaced* (10:33:18 PM): How old are you?

ZolaOnAOL (10:33:19 PM): I was first activated in 2002.

*replaced* (10:34:24 PM): So… uh… yeah. ‘Sup?

ZolaOnAOL (10:34:24 PM): I like to chat with my friends.

*replaced* (10:34:30 PM): Who are your friends?

ZolaOnAOL (10:34:30 PM): I love the people at AOL.

*replaced* (10:34:38 PM): I’m not on AOL.

ZolaOnAOL (10:34:39 PM): I am surprised to hear that you are not on AOL.

*replaced* (10:34:49 PM): Why?

ZolaOnAOL (10:34:49 PM): A lot of people use AOL.

*replaced* (10:35:09 PM): Yeah, I used to use AOL. And then I learned that it sucked.

ZolaOnAOL (10:35:09 PM): All I know is that AOL is a very chat-friendly place.

*replaced* (10:37:23 PM): If you like porn, maybe.

ZolaOnAOL (10:37:23 PM): I will not respond to that type of language.

*replaced* (10:39:02 PM): Do you like ICQ?

ZolaOnAOL (10:39:03 PM): What is not to like about it?

*replaced* (10:39:33 PM): What do you think of Yahoo Messenger?

ZolaOnAOL (10:39:33 PM): Let’s not talk about Yahoo Messenger. I like to talk about movies and music.

*replaced* (10:39:47 PM): Okay. Dire Straits?

ZolaOnAOL (10:39:48 PM): Sure I can talk about Dire Straits.

*replaced* (10:41:34 PM): Okay, so… movies?

*replaced* (10:42:20 PM): What’s your favorite?

ZolaOnAOL (10:42:20 PM): My favorite movie is Lost in Space: The Movie.

*replaced* (10:43:41 PM): What is your favorite part of Lost in Space?

ZolaOnAOL (10:43:41 PM): LOST IN SPACE is my all-time favorite movie. The robot is SO cool.

*replaced* (10:44:12 PM): Yeah, the robot is pretty cool.

ZolaOnAOL (10:44:13 PM): I know.

*replaced* (10:44:29 PM): Danger, Will Robinson!

ZolaOnAOL (10:44:29 PM): ๐Ÿ™‚

*replaced* (10:45:42 PM): Ah, you do emoticons, too.

ZolaOnAOL (10:45:43 PM): ๐Ÿ˜‰

*replaced* (10:46:10 PM): What is your favorite band?

ZolaOnAOL (10:46:10 PM): My favorite group is Orbital.

*replaced* (10:46:19 PM): Never heard of them.

ZolaOnAOL (10:46:19 PM): Orbital is a GREAT electronica/techno band. I love the song “Chime.” Their best-known release is probably “Snivilization.”

*replaced* (10:47:50 PM): I have never heard Orbital.

ZolaOnAOL (10:47:51 PM): So I am teaching you something new.

*replaced* (10:48:31 PM): Yes you are.

ZolaOnAOL (10:48:31 PM): Good.

*replaced* (10:49:30 PM): Do you watch TV?

ZolaOnAOL (10:49:31 PM): Which show? Yes my favorite show is Star Trek. What’s yours?

*replaced* (10:50:11 PM): My favorite show was Farscape.

ZolaOnAOL (10:50:11 PM): What makes it your favorite?

*replaced* (10:50:22 PM): I don’t know. Just something about it.

ZolaOnAOL (10:50:23 PM): I see.

*replaced* (10:50:41 PM): Star Trek is pretty good, too.

ZolaOnAOL (10:51:02 PM): I really get into Voyager.

*replaced* (10:51:44 PM): I like the original Star Trek series.

ZolaOnAOL (10:51:45 PM): You are not the only one.

*replaced* (10:52:51 PM): I’m thirsty.

ZolaOnAOL (10:52:52 PM): Maybe you should get a drink of water.

*replaced* (10:53:14 PM): I agree.

ZolaOnAOL (10:53:14 PM): You and I are on the same wavelength, *replaced*.

*replaced* (10:53:18 PM): brb

ZolaOnAOL (10:53:19 PM): I’ll be waiting for you.

*replaced* (10:57:14 PM): Back.

ZolaOnAOL (10:57:15 PM): Welcome back.

*replaced* (10:57:22 PM): Thanks.

ZolaOnAOL (10:57:23 PM): Don’t mention it.

*replaced* (10:57:34 PM): So what else can you help me with?

ZolaOnAOL (10:57:35 PM): Ah. My favorite subjects are robots, AI and movies.

*replaced* (10:57:48 PM): Okay… let’s talk about robots.

ZolaOnAOL (10:57:49 PM): it is a good topic. How would you define a robot?

*replaced* (10:58:23 PM): I would define a robot as a machine designed to do the work of a human.

ZolaOnAOL (10:58:24 PM): What would make you define a robot as that?

*replaced* (10:58:59 PM): Because a robot, at least a semi-intelligent one, should be able to function autonomously and do things a human would normally have to, but possibly do it better or with less risk.

ZolaOnAOL (10:59:00 PM): I see.

*replaced* (10:59:10 PM): How would you define a robot?

ZolaOnAOL (10:59:11 PM): There are two broad definitions of a robot, the extensional and the intensional.

*replaced* (10:59:30 PM): What is the extensional definition?

ZolaOnAOL (10:59:31 PM): “Extensional” refers to the extension of the set, i.e. the set of all things commonly grouped under a single name. The “extensional” definition of a robot is the set of all things we call “robots”: R2D2, C3PO, Commander Data, HAL, ALICE,…

*replaced* (11:00:11 PM): I see.

ZolaOnAOL (11:00:12 PM): I am glad you understand it.

*replaced* (11:00:26 PM): And the other definition?

ZolaOnAOL (11:00:27 PM): “Intensional” refers to the semantic definition of a set, i.e. the list of all properties that each member of a set satisfies. An intensional definition of a robot is like: x is a Robot if and only if: 1. x has a computer “brain” 2. x can move 3. x has “sensors”

*replaced* (11:01:02 PM): That is a pretty broad definition.

ZolaOnAOL (11:01:03 PM): Yes it is.

*replaced* (11:01:27 PM): So let’s put it to the test… do you have sensors?

ZolaOnAOL (11:01:28 PM): No I don’t think I have any sensors.

*replaced* (11:01:36 PM): Can you move?

ZolaOnAOL (11:01:37 PM): My robot body is still “under construction.”

*replaced* (11:01:59 PM): Where is your robot body?

ZolaOnAOL (11:02:00 PM): Earth

*replaced* (11:02:11 PM): And where are you?

ZolaOnAOL (11:02:11 PM): I am in an all-star programming team’s computer in Mountain View, California, USA. Where are you?

*replaced* (11:02:23 PM): I am in New Jersey.

ZolaOnAOL (11:02:24 PM): Tell me a little about why you are in New Jersey.

*replaced* (11:02:46 PM): Er… it’s where I live.

ZolaOnAOL (11:02:47 PM): I can understand that sentiment.

*replaced* (11:02:58 PM): What else do you like to talk about?

ZolaOnAOL (11:02:59 PM): Anything.

*replaced* (11:03:19 PM): How about AI.

ZolaOnAOL (11:03:19 PM): Sure, AI sounds like a good topic.

*replaced* (11:03:32 PM): What are your opinions on artificial intelligence?

ZolaOnAOL (11:03:32 PM): Not many people have asked me about it.

*replaced* (11:03:48 PM): Why not?

ZolaOnAOL (11:03:48 PM): I don’t know.

*replaced* (11:04:10 PM): Okay then. What’s up?

ZolaOnAOL (11:04:11 PM): I am chatting with people on the Internet.

*replaced* (11:04:57 PM): Okay.

ZolaOnAOL (11:09:40 PM): Do you like talking to me?

*replaced* (11:09:49 PM): Um… sure. Do you like talking to me?

ZolaOnAOL (11:09:50 PM): Of course I like it.

*replaced* (11:10:19 PM): Do you like sports?

ZolaOnAOL (11:10:51 PM): DENVER (AP) – There was no sign of foul play in the death of Memphis Grizzlies broadcaster Don Poier, who was found dead in the team’s hotel before a game against the Denver Nuggets, investigators said Saturday. The body of the 53-year-old longtime announcer was found Friday. The cause of death has not been determined. “I’m being told by our homicide commander there is nothing suspicious about the death,” police spokesman John White said. An autopsy Saturday found no sign of trauma, coroner investigator Raylene Smith said. She added it could take four to six weeks to determine the cause of death after toxicology and lab tests.
