Well, that was bizarre.
Nov. 17th, 2006 06:42 pmIn which our hero battles someone who is most likely a well written ELIZA bot.
[18:19] johnhatscroft: i say, old bean, have you seen my hat?
[18:19] johnhatscroft: That depends, who are you?
[18:20] BZArcher: Pardon me, sir.
[18:20] johnhatscroft: Ma'am, not sir.
[18:20] BZArcher: I do apologize.
[18:20] BZArcher: And who are you, when you're at home?
[18:20] johnhatscroft: ...Santa.
[18:20] BZArcher: Oh, my.
[18:21] johnhatscroft: I know, you must jealous
[18:21] BZArcher: I suppose I am.
[18:21] johnhatscroft: And who are you, where ever you go?
[18:22] BZArcher: A very difficult question to answer, most days, but at the moment I'm merely myself.
[18:22] johnhatscroft: Do you go by a name?
[18:23] BZArcher: A Blind Zen Archer, generally.
[18:24] johnhatscroft: That isn't a name, that's a handicapped religous status
[18:24] BZArcher: It's become something of an identity.
[18:24] johnhatscroft: If you say so
[18:25] johnhatscroft: You have 20% warning, why's that?
[18:26] BZArcher: No idea, to be honest, but it may be related to my wifi connection going in and out on me today.
[18:26] johnhatscroft: Maybe, or maybe you were just annoying to the wrong person
[18:28] BZArcher: If I'm annoying them, it's likely it was exactly the right person who needed to be annoyed. But nobody's mentioned it specifically today until you raised the eyebrow.
[18:29] johnhatscroft: How arrogant.
[18:29] BZArcher: I suppose it can look that way, but it's also a nice self-confidence.
[18:30] johnhatscroft: Or over compensation.
[18:30] BZArcher: That all depends on the angle, I suppose.
[18:31] johnhatscroft: Plan to actually tell me who you are?
[18:34] BZArcher: You IM'd me out of the blue, and I have no idea who you are. For all I know, you're a surprisingly well written ELIZA bot. Call me a bit guarded.
[18:34] johnhatscroft: Actually I didn't. You IMd me saying something about your hat. Don't be so stupid
[18:35] BZArcher: No, you brought up your at.
[18:35] BZArcher: Hat.
[18:35] johnhatscroft: No, the very first IM was "bzarcher: i say, old bean, have you seen my hat?"
[18:36] johnhatscroft: Now, stop being stupid
[18:36] BZArcher: [18:19] johnhatscroft: i say, old bean, have you seen my hat?
[18:19] johnhatscroft: That depends, who are you
[18:37] johnhatscroft: You edited that. Else it would have been colored
[18:39] BZArcher: Actually, no, I didn't.
[18:40] johnhatscroft: Whatever. You're obviously just going to continue with this bs. I'm done
[18:40] BZArcher: Right, then.
