Sorry.<br>I think if you had attempted to cover the characteristics of your "hunting" program while give a full discourse of the code base, we would have been there for much longer than an hour. So, I think you spent your time wisely and I certainly didn't hear anyone complaining about the content. Very cool stuff.<br>As a sysadmin, my interest into the AI field is how I would be able to apply learning algorithms into intelligently processing logfiles and/or other alerting events. </p>jonEbirdTue, 18 Nov 2008 16:30:48 -0000http://jonebird.com/2008/11/16/73/#comment-3881268<p>Thank you for attending. I was not sure how much code I should show in the talk. I was trying to leave about 15 minutes at the end of the talk to go over code and show more samples of group predation in action. I also wanted to show the Python code working. I was actually right on schedule (15 minutes left) when I tried to confirm the time with the audience. They said I was already out of time, so I wrapped it up. My main intent was to show that complex behaviors can be achieved. When I started the talk, I remembered it with a slightly rosy cast. By the time I was done with the talk and had the Python code working, I realized just how hard it was to get the complex behaviors. It is much easier that people think, but it was definitely harder than I remembered. I really enjoyed the conference and thank you for attending. I think mixing Python and PHP groups was a great combination. I will put you down for more source code next year.</p>Jacob TaylorTue, 18 Nov 2008 13:54:47 -0000
