[17:21] X-Dog: I will pay about £7 each for them by ordering 10
[17:21] X-Dog: and I will mark up £2 for my trouble, I feel that is fair.

[18:04] Ice_: all very exciting
[18:04] X-Dog: You need to set a different channel for your WLAN, be sure to use WEP, and maybe hide the SSID (thgough I always find that hiding the SSID m,akes the wlan unreliable)
[18:04] X-Dog: Hi Ice
[18:04] teasedax: hi ice
[18:04] sherpaT: I will try that but for now I am happy I can get connected at all

[18:48] Jules247: How so Steve?
[18:48] teamdax: if not more
[18:48] steve_a: i don't know just because you are so funny
[18:48] firefox1: I don't think QRIO would be 10k, they wouldn't sell much of it. I bet they will try to bring it down to about 5k
[18:49] Jules247: Cheers lol
[18:49] X-Dog: He must have seen your photo Jules :-)
[18:49] Ice_: I was wondering myself :)
[18:49] teamdax: i think thats the reason they wont release it fox
[18:49] firefox1: LOL... hi jules^^ any luck on the 220 sensor
[18:49] Jules247: LOL XD - that must be it
[18:49] steve_a: Maybe it will be a toy QRIO that sits on your lap like that cat thing
[18:49] firefox1: dax yeah.. they are waiting till they can make it for around 5k before they will release it
[18:50] Jules247: I'm a bit worried about taking it off - can't seem to manage it easily
[18:50] Jules247: any suggestions XD?
[18:50] teamdax: hey jules- funny how every time you post that photo- people always say 'you are a woman'
[18:50] X-Dog: Suggestions for what?
[18:50] firefox1: jules..really easy to take off..
[18:50] steve_a: what happened to the 220 Jules?
[18:50] teamdax: fox- but i cant see that being any time soon- maybe 5 years
[18:50] firefox1: just slide one of the cylinder things to the top and it pull out easily
[18:51] Jules247: I know Paul - what makes everyone think I'm a bloke?
[18:51] Jules247: must be my butch voice!!!

[18:51] X-Dog: cylinder things?
[18:51] firefox1: dax..lol..nah, the rate computer chips prices and power are doubling, it won't be long.. probably 2-3 years
[18:51] Jules247: I know, thats why I chose Jules rather than Julie - it can be taken as M or F
[18:51] teamdax: we shall see fox
[18:52] firefox1: x-dog.. I did it once.. can
[18:52] firefox1: er.. remember it well.. I belive its like a cylinder

[20:37] Genie100: 23 chatters....
[20:37] AIBOJohn: One of the nicer features is that MIND 2 includes AIBO Remote Framework, so developers no longer have to distribute their own Memory Stick
[20:38] Genie100: my pc is starting to sizzle
[20:38] JimInDC: Not sure how to easily transport though- it is difficult in the car as it is.
[20:38] steve_a: I am dying for the balck one
[20:38] teamdax: i cant wait to play with RFW
[20:38] Rich10512: i have 2 words for you Jim..U HAUL

[20:38] JimInDC: I actually always rent a car for the Shindig- mine is too small.
[20:38] iofreak: Here!!!
[20:38] Rich10512: actually, an AIBO Tour bus leaving DC to the Ranch
[20:38] Genie100: no all SOny had to do is change something in the hardware and I would have not been able to resist...upgrade the tail or something!
[20:39] AIBOJohn: what's your language of choice, io?
[20:39] AiboTism: I know the difference between a 0 and a 1
[20:39] X-Dog: Hey IO, when did you arrive?
[20:39] AiboTism: Is that programming?
[20:39] Genie100: I took a course in C++
[20:39] X-Dog: Good to see you
[20:39] slider: i program dances
[20:39] steve_a: I am thrilled that there is no hardware change
[20:39] AIBOJohn: Genie, there are plenty of AIBOs with different serial numbers, if you're tempted ;)
[20:39] iofreak: Will ther be a COM or .NET example with the final RFW?
[20:39] Genie100: LOL John....tempting, but....no
[20:39] teamdax: my choice would be VB
[20:39] steve_a: VB?
[20:39] Genie100: I would be happy with a dummy's guide to r code
[20:39] teamdax: visual basic steve
[20:39] AIBOJohn: those are good suggestions, io and dax... right now RFW is restricted to Windows C++
[20:39] Ice_: hello skichick
[20:40] AiboTism: Good one John
[20:40] Genie100: little tutorial type lessons
[20:40] skichick: umm hi
[20:40] Rich10512: ey..i just learned how to add and subtract binary numbers! and all about circuits and gates and transistors.. I'll be programming in no time!
[20:40] Genie100: step by step
[20:40] AIBOJohn: anyway, maybe we can have a technical chat another time..?
[20:40] teamdax: I am not a fan of C++
[20:40] steve_a: 23 here now
[20:40] AiboTism: up to 23 with 19 minutes to go
[20:40] skichick: is this where the SONY chat is taking place?
[20:40] steve_a: no
[20:40] Ice_: skichick: yes
[20:40] steve_a: lol
[20:40] Rich10512: and i hear theres going to be a great book available soon on programming in Rcode :-D
[20:40] steve_a: yes
[20:40] teamdax: oh yes please (on technical chat)
[20:40] aiboart: not here
[20:40] skichick: ok
[20:40] aiboart: ok here
[20:40] Genie100: C++ is tough...I got an A(++) in my clas, but cant recall any to save my life
[20:40] AIBOJohn: yeah, I'd like to see it RIch!! ;)
[20:40] Rich10512: hi Skichick
[20:40] AiboTism: isn't this Big Brother Chat?
[20:40] Rich10512: ROFL
[20:41] Genie100: you're lost AT
[20:41] Ice_: AiboTism: hahaha
[20:41] Genie100: BB .org
[20:41] teamdax: so would I rich
[20:41] X-Dog: C++ should encourage more development as there are som many C++ programmers out there. Learning RCODE etc just for the AIBO is not attractive to many, but if the language is C++ I am sure we will so lots more interest.
[20:41] teamdax: I had that book pre ordered for over 6 months
[20:41] Genie100: I did too
[20:41] X-Dog: I ordered that too
[20:41] Rich10512: ok..time to make the coffee..i hope i have cream
[20:41] iofreak: C++ is not THAT hard, but Windows programming with it is not THAT easy
[20:41] AIBOJohn: I agree X ... plus, Windows C++ is a little bit more widespread knowledge than OPEN-R C++ ;)
[20:41] AiboTism: I thought Roddy should have won HOH. (I'll shut up now)
[20:42] Rich10512: Oh..G4TechTv took some video of Abercrombie and PAnzer
[20:42] Genie100: C++ takes practice...if you don't use it you lose
[20:42] X-Dog: It's lots of years since I did my 'hello world' program in C++, but maybe I'll be able to pick up the pieces.
[20:42] AIBOJohn: anyway, I don't want to make this a technical chat, but I'd be happy to come back for a more focused technical chat another time if you want.
[20:42] teamdax: yeah RFW should really open up the potental of aibo to a whole new audience- but guys C++??? I hate it- VB please
[20:42] X-Dog: Genie ... Doh!
[20:42] C_and_apple: back
[20:43] C_and_apple: John: for your poll... there's one programmer here! ;)
[20:43] Richard_and_Gang: AIBOJohn ... by all mens! When?

[20:43] C_and_apple: John: lol
[20:43] Genie100: that would be wonderful John...we might even get the Pet to hang around for that one...we bore him when we go OT
[20:43] teamdax: good question R and G
[20:43] AiboTism: an all man chat, richard?
[20:43] AiboTism: LOL
[20:43] Genie100: LOL
[20:43] AIBOJohn: Let me get back to you Richard... but I'd love to support such an event
[20:43] Genie100: count me in...oh...damn
[20:44] Richard_and_Gang: you rock John
[20:44] AIBOJohn: just for the record AT ... there are PLENTY of female programmers involved with RoboCup and AIBO programming, which I think is really great
[20:44] AiboTism: Make sure you invite AiboPet to that one
[20:44] Genie100: yeah the Pet will be so excited

[21:03] Genie100: please do
[21:03] AIBOtis: I havent chatted since before I was married this is great
[21:03] AIBOJohn: at the time that Recognition was released, we had never had aibo "Speak" before

[21:04] AIBOJohn: Otis is typing
[21:04] Genie100: Will there be a US club Aibo
[21:04] AIBOtis: Actually as the US owners are so active in there own AIBO forums we did not see alot of traffic on CLub aibo before
[21:04] Genie100: OK...next....
[21:05] Genie100: What type of actual AIbo development is done here in the US?
[21:05] *** Guest40152 (~AIBO_Enthu@=G0sp08-381-76-4.lv.lv.cox.net) has joined #aibo
[21:05] AIBOJohn: All the hardware development is done in Japan. We are responsible for localization of Japanese software, development of new AIBO Treats and ACD, as well as supporting AIBO SDE users.
[21:05] AIBOtis: And they are very good at it, the first US made software went global.
[21:05] Genie100: OK next....
[21:06] Genie100: Q: Is the light sensitivity the same in Mind 2 as it was in mind 1
[21:07] AIBOJohn: The proper lighting environment for AIBO is VERY important. It's difficult for AIBO to see in less optimal conditions. That is one of the reasons we made the new station marker black-and-white -- more contrast in less optimal environments.
[21:07] Genie100: Q: Back to facial recognition. The AIbo will use the eyes nose and mouth as markers for owner recognition or will it use the whole face?
[21:07] billtowntom: Has the incessant "chiming" while on the station when hearing sounds been eliminated?
[21:08] Genie100: Olease PM me with any questions...I will trickle them through the chat to Sony
[21:08] *** MeMelissa (~AIBO_Enthu@=Docjzj-4hsnllp.cable.mindspring.com) has left IRC [Ping Timeout]
[21:08] AIBOJohn: The facial recognition is the same as that for QRIO, but obviously toned down due to the lower-powered CPU.
[21:09] AIBOJohn: the face recognition uses both skin detection and facial features.
[21:09] Genie100: Q: Have there been complaints about foot clicking?

[21:11] AIBOJohn: AIBO Custom Data, which you can download and use with AIBO Custom Manager. It includes new startup sounds, games, etc.
[21:11] NinjaKid: Hi all
[21:11] AIBOJohn: sorry for the acronyms ;)

[21:15] Genie100: Q: does Mind 2 come with new Aibo cards???
[21:15] steve_a: memorized
[21:15] AIBOtis: 1-800-427-2988
[21:15] AIBOtis: lol
[21:15] Genie100: and will there be any new cards in the future
[21:15] AIBOJohn: No.
[21:16] AiboTism: I've got it on speed dial. LOL
[21:16] AIBOJohn: At this point, no plans to do so. But you can memorize new patterns in MIND 2.
[21:16] AIBOtis: let me elaborrat a little on the last one
[21:16] *** Guest66366 is now known as Dean111
[21:16] Genie100: Q: tremors have been a problem with the 2x0 series. Do the 7's have the same basic position sensor or has it been improved?
[21:16] AIBOJohn: hang on a sec, Otis is still answering the last one :)
[21:17] AIBOtis: you can teach AIBO to react to new patterns with the AIBO entertainment player, e.g. if you had a cde jacket you could have AIBO recognize it and have him play a song form that cd.
[21:17] AIBOJohn: The 7 does have improved motors to support the heavier body weight.
[21:18] Genie100: Q: Are spare parts for older models still being made or are they stockpiled?
[21:18] AIBOtis: Yes, you can contact the parts center.
[21:19] teamdax: sorry- that wasnt what I ment
[21:19] AIBOtis: They do not have a limited amount at this time in other words
[21:19] Genie100: Q: can AIbo search for an obeject that it has registered in its memory?
[21:19] teamdax: oh- ok- it does answer my poorly worded question- thanks
[21:19] AIBOJohn: AIBO can search for its station, as you all well know :-) And with MIND 2 it has a "favorite place" that it likes to hang out in.
[21:20] AIBOJohn: VPR-trained patterns require that AIBO see it, he doesn't 'search' for them.
[21:20] Genie100: Q: how will Aibo interact with the 110 and vice versa?
[21:21] AIBOtis: With "Talk to your friend/buddy"
[21:21] AIBOJohn: hang on, he's still typing
[21:21] AIBOtis: the ERS-7 can give messages to the ers-110
[21:21] Dean111: Q: Are any of you guys going to be the the RoboNexus conference this week?
[21:21] AIBOJohn: Dean, send it through Genie please ;)
[21:22] AIBOJohn: (short answer, no)
[21:22] AIBOtis: the new ers-7M2 can communicate with all other AIBOs
[21:22] X-Dog: WOW - Great stuff!
[21:22] iofreak: woo hoo!
[21:22] Genie100: Followup on Talk to friend
[21:22] skichick: awsome
[21:22] teamdax: indeed
[21:22] AIBOtis: I did it today
[21:22] Genie100: will the 110 respond to the 7
[21:23] AIBOtis: no, but it will respond as if it got a sound controller command
[21:23] AIBOtis: the 7 is bilingual
[21:23] Genie100: Q: how are patterns to action programmed into the M2?

[21:23] AIBOJohn: can you elaborate, do you mean visual patterns or voice commands?
[21:23] MEP: wow
[21:23] iofreak: visual
[21:23] Genie100: Q: can you expound on the Favotie Place concept
[21:23] AIBOJohn: hang on hang on
[21:24] AIBOtis: I mean bilinual in the it speaks english and 110ish
[21:24] steve_a: LOL!
[21:24] AIBOJohn: visual patterns are processed through Visual Pattern Recognition (VPR) which is a new technology released in the ERS-7. It allows AIBO to recognize moderately-complex images. And with AEP you can train new images for AIBO to see.
[21:24] AIBOJohn: AEP = AIBO Entertainment Player
[21:25] AIBOJohn: (sorry for the acronyms, this is how we talk at work) ;)
[21:25] skichick: cool beans
[21:25] iofreak: We talk like that where I work too :)
[21:25] Genie100: I believe that answers that Q....I took it to mean visual patterns
[21:25] Genie100: Can you ellaborate on the fave place concept
[21:26] AIBOtis: AIBO finds a place that appeals to her visually and then memorizes it. If it happanes upon the spot again it may decide to rest there or jsut do a happy dance of sorts. It is not exactly known what each AIBO's reaction will be to it's favoirite place as it is personal to the aIBO (it's little secret)
[21:27] X-Dog: lol
[21:27] Genie100: Thanks...ok next>....
[21:27] AIBOtis: oh wait thers more
[21:27] skichick: lol

[21:27] slider: LoL

[21:28] Genie100: Any plans for Sony reprsentation at RoboNexxus?
[21:29] AIBOJohn: No. The reason is similar to the reason we posted online... our discretionary funding for events like these are limited and we have to get the most out of every dollar spent.
[21:29] Genie100: OK...
[21:29] AIBOtis: they make me stay at red doof inn now

[21:30] *** keiko is now known as Guest42073
[21:30] Dean111: I'm staying very cheaply - with Joe and Rusty
[21:31] AIBOJohn: That is the feature where you can connect over a standard web browser to AIBO and see the photos that AIBO took. With MIND 2 it includes some other things, such as its favorite place.
[21:31] Genie100: Maybe Joe and Rusty can put Otis up too ;)
[21:31] AIBOtis: much better than motel 6
[21:31] Bruce_and_the_pack: You know you're always welcome here at the ranch.

[21:32] AIBOtis: i imagine if I stayed at bruces there would jsut be a twin bed at the end of the row of aibos
[21:32] Genie100: Q: can mind 2 allow AIbo to navigate by turning away from several walls and then procede through an open door

[21:46] steve_a: see hear touch..
[21:46] AIBOtis: *petting* he is now
[21:46] Genie100: Does the M2 like to watch TV?
[21:46] aiboart: waiting for the fleshy QRIO
[21:46] *** point2F (~AIBO_Enthu@=H6eiqj-45-435-48-910.dsl.sndg02.pacbell.net) has left IRC [QUIT: User exited]
[21:46] AIBOJohn: AIBO is attracted to sounds, but we didn't explicitly program him to watch TV :)
[21:46] AIBOtis: He is attracted to sounds, but no moer so than the first
[21:46] Genie100: Q: is there any spontaneous communictaion with M2 and other Aibos?
[21:46] AIBOJohn: (last thing we need is another couch potato)
[21:46] aiboart: lap dog
[21:46] slider: hahaha
[21:46] skichick: lol
[21:47] Genie100: Smidgette resents that last remark
[21:47] aiboart: actally there is the mass market there
[21:47] Genie100: or she would if I could pry her away from the TV
[21:47] AIBOJohn: AIBO would just watch Animal Planet all the way, anyway. That or TechTV.
[21:47] AIBOtis: sometimes he enters talk to you frined mode on his own, but he stilss needs to be patted on the head to begin
[21:47] aiboart: test pattern
[21:47] aiboart: attracted to it
[21:47] Genie100: Q: can AIbo see faces from further away or must we lay on the floor with them
[21:47] aiboart: well genie...
[21:48] Genie100: ( personal aside...can't say how many times my mailman has found me on the floor spouting Japanese to a plastic dog)
[21:48] slider: hahaha
[21:48] AIBOJohn: As you know AIBO is on the floor, and your head is way up in the sky. So it's difficult for AIBO to see faces with enough detail at that distance. Add in overhead lights etc and it's almost impossible. So we made AIBO hold up his head more, but sometimes you still need to get closer.
[21:48] AIBOtis: lol
[21:48] teamdax: lol- your not the only one genie
[21:48] Genie100: Q: has vocab increasde with M2
[21:48] aiboart: I knew you could test the nuclear fuel cell for Sony :)
[21:48] AIBOtis: yes
[21:49] AIBOJohn: there are a few new commands.
[21:49] Genie100: Q: do all the commands have to be repeated twice to be heard?
[21:49] AIBOtis: only by a few though, you can see the list in the pdf user guide online
[21:49] AIBOJohn: I think we answered that one already, Genie
[21:49] AIBOtis: no
[21:49] AIBOtis: but
[21:49] Genie100: Can the 7's head sensor be used for punishment
[21:49] aiboart: maybe you should program to recognise feet in the first instance
[21:49] aiboart: then face
[21:49] X-Dog: lol
[21:50] teamdax: lol- barcode slippers
[21:50] AIBOJohn: No, you need to punish him on the back. We don't recommend applying a lot of force to the top of AIBO's head! :)
[21:50] aiboart: yep
[21:50] AIBOtis: tape the follow card to the back of your leg
[21:50] skichick: lol
[21:50] Genie100: Q: how did the ball get on AIbo's back in the video showing him placing it on the pole
[21:50] AIBOtis: magnets
[21:50] AIBOtis: just kidding
[21:50] Genie100: whips work...
[21:50] X-Dog: good question
[21:50] aiboart: tell Paris, AIBO fashion
[21:50] AIBOJohn: hmm, I guess they did see the video somewhere
[21:50] aiboart: barcode textile
[21:50] Peter2005: actually you probably could get AIBO to recognize and react to feet now that AIBO can register new "objects"
[21:51] MeMelissa: The Japan site has 3 videos
[21:51] AIBOtis: I have the video for that however, my aibo has gotten pretty good at it lately so he may do it person tomorrow
[21:51] MeMelissa: Cool!
[21:51] aiboart: feet are big to an AIBO

[21:51] Peter2005: ah I see
[21:52] AiboTism: (video is on the Japanese site)
[21:52] Genie100: so he gets the ball on his back by himself ???
