six months later

First of all, thanks to everybody who's helped with the development of Incognita. That means every person who's ever submitted a word through her "communication interface." Every dialogue the robot has - every sexual advance she foils - helps me to see how her brain is working and what needs work.

This has been an off-and-on project for me. As a student, I occasionally have to give my school and jobs a higher priority than robot personality coding. Writing Incognita is also very tedious. Besides some basic html and flash action script, I have no programming experience. I'm making it up as I go, but so far it's going OK.

On August 14, 2006, I set up a Google Analytics account for Incognita. Since that time, she has chatted with humans in the United States, Jamaica, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Egypt. I'm proud to have an international robot, more proof that people are the same everywhere.
