[alicebot-general] Not dead yet...

[Christian Dro ß mann]

    Hello everyone!

It's been quite a while since I last posted something on this list...over
two years probably...
For those who don't know me at all: I'm Christian Drossmann, the guy who
made the German AIML set quite a while ago.
To those who still know me: Greetings, hope you're all still well...despite
being silent for so long I never unsubscribed from the lists and followed
what's going on in the AIML-World whenever I found the time.

I had a couple of rather drastic changes in my life in the past years and so
I didn't find the time for anything besides work and family.
Amazingly enough, to the present day people keep writing about what happened
to GermanAlice and if I would ever release another version.

So, a bit of information:

While I still check my mail on arcormail (about once or twice in a year ;-)
) , the address drossmann at arcormail.de has come into disuse long ago due to
excessive spamming. Whoever is currently responsible for maintaining the
website: could you please change my email address to "mail at drossmann.de" ?

Furthermore, as I kept receiving email about Alice, I decided to put up a
page again with some info in German. I saw that there are a lot of bots out
there, including bots for messageboards etc. that are based on the old
German.aiml and so I though I might just release everything that has been
sitting in a corner on my harddrive for a while and see what happens. I
might go and compile a section for the various German bots out there too...
You can find the page at www.drossmann.de . Could you please put a link to
that onto the alicebot-page as well? Thank you...

Maybe there *will* be an updated version...who knows? Sometimes I miss the
coding ;-)


Still alive and kicking,

Christian Drossmann
