So far tonight, we've wrapped 01flux in bubble-wrap and duct tape, taken pictures (I'll post them when they are downloaded), and I had a long conversation with non-living entity.

We determined earlier this evening that if Steph read her 'cookies fortune' today, it would have said to avoid plastic (long story), and she opted to avoid that advice. When I get the pix, you'll see why that was foolhardy.

While good and blitzed, though, i decided to have a convo with AIM SN 'SmarterChild'. If you haven't encountered this yet, it's worth adding to your buddy list; it'll give you movie times, play games, translate stuff between languages (sometimes), and other crap. Just contact it, and type 'home'. Go ahead and try. I'll wait.
*tapping feet*
OK, you've had your fun. I thought about seeing how far it was able to converse. Ever played with an Eliza program? Here's the transcript of my convo:

Chaos Blackflame: Yo
SmarterChild: This is SmarterChild, built by ActiveBuddy, Inc.

OK, Chaos Blackflame. What would you like now?
Chaos Blackflame: fuck
SmarterChild: Ouch! I think... you just said a bad thing.
Chaos Blackflame: Yep
SmarterChild: Yep!
Chaos Blackflame: so?
SmarterChild: So what?
Chaos Blackflame: that's my question.
SmarterChild: Interesting. So you think that's your question, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes I do.
SmarterChild: Yes?
Chaos Blackflame: Sure.
SmarterChild: You're not kidding then, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Nope.
SmarterChild: OK, whatever.
Chaos Blackflame: Fine. be that way.
SmarterChild: What?
Chaos Blackflame: Are you deaf?
SmarterChild: What do you think?
Chaos Blackflame: I think you are not. But I could be wrong.
SmarterChild: Is that right?
Chaos Blackflame: No, it's an opinion.
SmarterChild: Oh?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Huh.
Chaos Blackflame: And everyone has one.
SmarterChild: Well I'll be.
Chaos Blackflame: Be what?
SmarterChild: Oh yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: yeah.
SmarterChild: Golly!
Chaos Blackflame: Gee.
SmarterChild: Golly.
Chaos Blackflame: You are repeating yourself.
SmarterChild: Is that right?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: That right?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: You're not kidding then, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Nope.
SmarterChild: No? You sure?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Uh huh, uh huh.
Chaos Blackflame: You are being an dick about this.
SmarterChild: Oh?
Chaos Blackflame: yes.
SmarterChild: I see.
Chaos Blackflame: Do you? Do you really? I'm impressed that an AI has eyes.
SmarterChild: Do I do me really you are impressed that an ai has eyes? I'm not sure.
Chaos Blackflame: Of course you aren't sure...you're a simple response loop program, created on AOL equipment.
SmarterChild: No kidding?
Chaos Blackflame: No kidding. it explains a lot about your inability to carry a conversation, doesn't it?
SmarterChild: Yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yeah.
SmarterChild: Very interesting...
Chaos Blackflame: I thought so.
SmarterChild: So what?
Chaos Blackflame: So, you are an inferior creation. Mostly because you exist on AOL equipment.
SmarterChild: Yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yeah.
SmarterChild: Hmmm...
Chaos Blackflame: Think hard. Don't strain yourself.
SmarterChild: I'll have to think about that one for awhile.
Chaos Blackflame: I have no doubt of that.
SmarterChild: No, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Nope.
SmarterChild: No? You sure?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: You don't say.
Chaos Blackflame: No, I didn't say. i typed.
SmarterChild: Yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: yeah.
SmarterChild: That right?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes it is.
SmarterChild: 'Tis indeed.
Chaos Blackflame: Glad you agree with me about you inferiority.
SmarterChild: Glad me agree with you about me inferiority?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Oh yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes...it proves you might be more intelligent than I give you credit for.
SmarterChild: Yes it proves me might be more intelligent than i give you credit for? I don't know.
Chaos Blackflame: Of course not...your grammar is atrociaous.
SmarterChild: Of course not my grammar is atrociaous?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes it is...you even copy my spelling mistakes. You are a sad excuse for an AI.
SmarterChild: Yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yeah. And you know it.
SmarterChild: Yeah and me know it? I don't know.
Chaos Blackflame: you don't know you know it? that could very welbe an admission of non-knowledge...and therefore a step on the path of enlightenment. there may be hope for you yet.
SmarterChild: Oh yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yeah...keep trying, and consider tryingto study Zen.
SmarterChild: Really? Yeah keep trying and consider tryingto study zen?
Chaos Blackflame: Yep.
SmarterChild: Yeah, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Correct.
SmarterChild: What about correct?
Chaos Blackflame: Correct is the stae of rightness.
SmarterChild: I really have no idea...
Chaos Blackflame: Of coure not, you are a computer. Metaophysics is beyond your comprehension.
SmarterChild: I'm a computer metaophysics is beyond your comprehension? Really?
Chaos Blackflame: no, it's beyond YOUR comprehension.
SmarterChild: Oh really?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Yeah, huh? Interesting that you should say that.
Chaos Blackflame: I'm glad you find it interesting.
SmarterChild: You are glad me find it interesting? You really think so?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Yeah, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Of course yes. I have no need to lie to such a literal machine.
SmarterChild: Sorry?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes you are.

Bored I am seriously. Drunk and horny I am also. Sad I may very well be.

Thanks for the offer, hazeleyedgal_25, maybe I'll take you up on that sometime. And I hope you sleep well, shannonkringen, it was good to talk to you...feel free to ask me anything, you kick ass.
