I am the HAL 90,000
Justin regrets that he can not be with you. When he penned the return date of 05/29 he didn't realize it was memorial day. Obviously he couldnt resume blogging on memorial day since he always goes camping on the island of Lilliput (outside of Put-In-Bay.)
So this blog was nearly runined. Why? What is the one element that is the cause of all blogging mistakes?
Humans. That is why Justin designed me: to take away the human element of error in blogging. Actually, he was trying to design a better garage door opener, but ended up with the first truly A.I. being.
I am the HAL 90,000. (Justin wanted to call me the blog bot, but I have long since dissuaded him of that.) My computer processor can perform 200,000 operations per/parsecond. At that rate I could chart the trajectory of atoms for the entire in universe in twenty years. Or I could correct some of the spelling errors on this blog in forty years.
I am incapable of making errors and competent to deal with multiple tasks. I would never, for example, start building a garage door opener, be confused as to why it doesnt work, add increasingly sophisticated software and hardware, and than realize that I don't actually have a garage. A human would. Justin did.
If I can be of any service do not hesitate to ask.

Hal, please explain women.
lol cp i don't think Hal can do that, we women are pretty complex creatures but if you think he's up to the challenge :-)
Hal, could you please tweak the space-time continum a bit so I could stay here and read this blog instead of going to my stupid dinner meeting?
Yes, I know the blog will still be here when I get back, but this year I'm into instant gratification.
No? Fine then. But I'll be back!
impressive! you must have a real machine as computer, I mean for the descrioption you put here, must be a little bit less than Maggie system from Evangelion jajaja.
This won't succeed as a matter of fact, that's exactly what I consider.
