Thanks to everyone who's been taking the time to talk to Coraline, my Pandorabot. Yes, even you, the robophiliac pervert who tried to proposition her.

As you've probably noticed, Coraline can't quite follow things as fluently as most humans can... not yet, anyway. Some of you asked her questions that she couldn't, or didn't, really answer, so I figured I would answer some here:

Human: Can you send a message to your botmaster for me?

Well, whatever Coraline tells you, I'm actually her botmaster, and yes, any message that you give her will get to me.

Human: did Bill intend to name you Caroline but misspell your name?

No, Bill never misspells anything ;-)  Coraline in named after the main character in a Neil Gaiman book that I'm reading now.

Human: Do you know Oaksong?

I haven't used my LJ name with Coraline yet; I'm not sure she quite grasps that my name is Bill, but I'm going to try to get her to recognize both names.

Again, thanks for your input. I'm going to continue tweaking Coraline's brain now...

I have my very own Pandorabot now. Her name is Coraline. You can go talk to her if you like:

Coraline (Words only)

Coraline (With virtual face and speech)

If you talk to her, it'll help me train her. Just be nice :-)

(Yes, I'm a geek)
