MSN Pandora Bot

[nickjuly4]

I created a program that lets you put your bot on MSN Messenger and talk to other users. This program is a stand-alone program so you don't have to worry about it taking up your existing MSN Messenger (or Windows Live Messenger as it's now called). Just go to http://nickjuly4.googlepages.com/msnpandora

With all the attention of the Spellbinder program, this excellent piece of
software seems to gone amiss.
I've been trying this out for a few days and have found it absolutely first
class.

Well done Nick

How can that be? I haven't been able to connect to any panorabots or alice site for two weeks running. I always get a Network Timeout.

After my company paid for the "Be your own botmaster" book I was given links to download a PDF version of the book or a Word version. I can't even access these any longer.

How much longer is this blackout going to last?

This is a good idea.  Thank you very much for introducing this
software.  People write to us all the time asking for
Pandorabots<--->IM solutions.

Ah sorry, I use the paid server and do not get any downtime at all for my
bots, apart from one afternoon about a year ago when it was down for a few
hours.
Dr Wallace - Can I suggest you move the links to Mark's book on to the paid
server?

It’s also pretty easy to set up your own bot server using one of the AIML engines provided for free on the website.  Granted, the editing isn’t quite as easy, but GaitoBot isn’t too bad.

I tried running 'Program E' on a PHP server, only to discover that some of
the language (split|explode, eregi|preg_match) in respond.php has been
deprecated.

Has anyone updated this code to run in modern PHP?  It doesn't look like the
project at SourceForge has been updated since 2005, unless I am mistaken.

Thanks for your kind assistance and feedback!

-- Michael

Hi Michael, although this is the Pandorabots list and we recommend
trying Pandorabots free server first, you may also be interested in a
newer PHP/MySQL AIML program called "Program O":
http://www.program-o.com/
which is actively supported.

Thank you very much!  I just finished updating Program E to work with PHP
5.3, but I'm quite happy to start fresh with Program O, since there's an
active interest in it.

I do already use Pandorabots, my sincere apologies for the off topic post.

Thanks again!

Mike, you may want to consider posting your Program E improvements
somewhere.  Others could be interested too.
