Estoy pintando flores por primera vez. No me agradó mucho cuando la profesora sugirió que comenzara con esa pintura,... pero en verdad lo estoy disfrutando.

Me falta un poco de trabajo aún en esta pintura. Estará lista pronto.

MSNAliceBot: a .net Chatter bot

Some time ago,... about a year and a half i programmed an inteface between the programD of alicebot.org and my msn messenger acount using dotMSN. The process was a mess.

There was a programD server running on my machine; a wget which passes the paremeters in an url and file processing to get the answers of alice. 3 separated applications,...

Today i discovered the AIMLBot and i rewrote my application.

I'm proud to announce the first release of MSNAliceBot.

I guess you will need the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 beta 2 (here) to run it

Features:

• A log file of the conversation for every contact
• The ALICE AIML-set (you can change it, it is in the AIML directory)
• A random delay (1 to 5 seconds) when sending the answers

It still lacking of the "is typing" message. Any ideas of how to implement it with the dotMSN?

Here is a screenshot of a conversation between me and my SelfElectricEgo :D

You can add him to your contact list if you want to see how it works: selfelectricego@hotmail.com (Not always running)

The source code will be released soon under the GPL as always (i need to do some cleaning on it)

Installing Robocup soccer simulator (soccer server) on Fedora Core 3

The file rcsoccersim-9.3.4 contains everything for running the soccer simulator, but it doesn't work for me.

I've tried many ways to install it,... this is the one that worked for me.

Get the files:
rcssbase-11.0.11.tar.bz2
rcssserver-10.0.7.tar.bz2
rcsoccersim-9.3.4.tar.gz
trilearn_base_sources-3.3 (to try a team)

Untar all the files

Install rcssbase-11.0.11
cd rcssbase-11.0.11./
./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2
make
make install (root)

Install rcssserver-10.0.7
cd rcssserver-10.0.7/
./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2
make
make install (as root)

Install monitor classic
I use the monitor classic included with rcsoccersim 9.3.4

cd rcsoccersim-9.3.4/rcssmonitor_classic/
./configure
make
make install (as root)

Install UVA_trilearn
cd trilearn_base_sources-3.3/
./configure
make
make install (as root)

See the trilearn play alone :P
rcssmonitor_classic
cd trilearn_base_sources-3.3/
./start.sh

Smarty tutorial

I made this tutorial about a year and a half ago. It contains the version 2.6.2 of smarty, but you can switch to the current release without any problem.

It is useful if you want to build a multi-language, cached, data-driven, multi-design smarty application.

All of the files of the tutorial are here.

If you want so se them online:

Oh! I almost forgot,... it is in spanish :P
