My first completed novel is now available for sale!
What if Roswell was actually a cover up not for aliens but for a government plan to enter an alternate dimension? Furthermore, what if this dimension was technologically superior to our own and the government was planning to try again? This is the information that a mysterious businessman has just learned and seeks to obtain an item from within that dimension.
Meanwhile, several friends are about to be roped into an adventure that explores the alternate dimension where their very lives are in danger.

Comments Off on Kon version 1.5.0 in the works
I’m currently working on Kon version 1.5.0 and Kon Offline version 1.2.0.
I’ve redone the way the LB Brain stores things drastically. Before it was split–questions in one file, everything else in another. That’s no longer the case. It’s all back down to one lb.brain file. Also, I’m working on something I call “Answer Search.” This uses the kon.brain file. Basically both files are now required to make Kon work (if you use that new function).
Take this example conversation we had with Kon last night:
[00:34] Kon: My skills with a sword are highly venerated.
[00:34] Iyouboushi: lol
[00:34] Smz: kon: Too bad they’re all fabricated
[00:34] Smz: XD
[00:34] Kon: I can’t rest ’til you’ve been exterminated.
[00:34] Smz: kon: Then perhaps you should switch to decaffeinated
[00:34] Kon: I’ll leave you devastated, mutilated, and perforated!
[00:34] Smz: LOL
[00:35] Smz: kon: Your odor alone makes me aggravated, agitated, and infuriated
[00:35] Iyouboushi: XD
[00:35] Kon: Your odour alone makes me aggravated, agitated, and infuriated.
[00:35] Smz: XD
[00:35] Smz: kon: You lose!
[00:35] Kon: That was too close You were almost a Jill sandwich.
As you can see from the quote in the above post, it sort of works. Kon was able to continue insult sword fighting for a few lines before it started to parrot.
Unfortunately I foresee two problems with this.
#1. It won’t be quite as random. In order to make the bot more coherent and appear smarter, the randomness has to be toned down. It’s still more random than using AIML though.
#2. As the brain grows, the “answers” it’ll find and give back to the user are probably going to be a jumbled mess. But time will tell. Right now I’m testing on a brain that contains 3000 lines. That’s pretty small considering the last brian, before I wiped it, contained 300,000 lines or so.
More testing is needed and I’m sure I’ll have to wipe it out and try a few more things before it’s all said and done.
The release date on both of these are still up in the air. I need to test more and fine-tune before I decide to let it loose upon the public. But if you can’t wait to try it out, I’ll keep Kon in #Kyoto on irc.esper.net. Feel free to come chat with him there.
