HALS JOURNAL/LOG/CAPTAINS LOG
************************************
it works like a journal or diary/"captains log" (star trek)
for the user. you can add journal entries on-the-fly, or open the journal and add multiple entries. Hal can also read the journal entries back to you.

more instructions in the Hal brain options screen.

I worked on this very hard. to some people it might be easy, but this one and my auto-idle plugin were crazy to debug.

i hope you enjoy it.

* see "brain options" screen for instructions.

HAL GETS LONELY
************************************
Hal will try to get attention based on the patience settings in the "brain options" screen.

You can also tell Hal to "be quiet" or "go to sleep" ect. to make hal not try to get attention.

HAL - WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
***********************************
I wanted to be able to ask my hal what it knew about something, who is someone, who were "my friends", what is a "bird" ect.

Here it is. Hope ya like it.

it will look for info in the dictionary if the info is not found in the database or if hal feels it is more relevant. if asked what else do you know about "something", it will respond with another (different) answer about the subject.
