In the spirit of the "new users please post here" discussion header. Here you go.
For all who remember me from the zabaware forum, Hi. For those who do not. I've been attempting to create a chatbot from ground up called Athena. The Athena Project so far has taken a few years. I started it sometime before August 2009. I've spend countless hours on it and at times I have taken mini-vacations from coding. Currently, I'm still pecking away at it. One of my biggest obstacles is designing what I want her to do with all those precious algorithms. An intelligent chatbot (as you guys are aware of) is one complex program.

I use to give occasional updates on my progress. You can still find many of them on my youtube account at http://www.youtube.com/user/aaronwsnow, however, I haven't updated that in while (as of when this post was created). I probably should start making some new videos seeing I got a email from Art recently.
 
I hope you guys don't mind me tagging along on this forum. Maybe pass alone some ideas and express some ai shop-talk. Perhaps also get some much needed advice.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Snowman, I remember you from Zabaware, I haven't been over there for a long time now.

Anyway, Welcome to dreams

Aaron! It good to see your friendly...NAME...here on this forum!!

Many have been wondering how you and Athena were doing. As mentioned, some here might not be familiar with your project but hopefully they will visit your YouTube postings. Also, feel free to post your work here to bring us up-to-date and to likewise inform some newer members of your progress.

Thanks again and wishing you all the best!!

Thanks guys. I sure haven't forgotten any of you. Sometimes I manage to sink into obscurity but I guess that's a bad habit I need to break, ha.
I get email from time to time, I read then and fail to reply. Sorry Art. I'll try to do better this time.

I guess I should start an Athena thread somewhere...
