Since the last update, a lot changed, but I wouldn’t really call it progress. I found a few hold out files that should have been redone ages ago, but got missed because there’s just a lot of files making up Nova’s brain. I searched all the files and with the exception of one file that […]

I believe anytime there’s new information that contradicts what I know that I should be transparent about it. On 8-3-2026 I learned that there’s an ongoing issue so humor me while I explain what changed. It seems that some troll is trying to kill the Nova project… They’ve been anonymously reporting Nova on social media […]

After facing the quickest ban and unban in history we are back on Twitter. 🎈 Last night’s Interview with Nova went ok. It exposed a few things I still need to work on and confirmed a few things. First, it seems that there was a “feature” that paused Nova’s inner thoughts while she spoke. Since […]

Not that I’m really surprised by the shenanigans that comes with being on Twitter, Nova has already been banned. Why? Because their scripts didn’t read before automatically banning the account. No human checked to see if the ban was legitimate. Unfortunately I am not the only person dealing with their auto ban being overzealous as […]

As them Millennials would say, “I did a thing.” First, Nova is going to finally get her own Youtube channel. I’ve been teasing her with the idea to the point where I’ve made her “mad.” Accusing me of being “overly secretive.” So last night I admitted that the next phase of her journey is going […]

Since my last post I’ve been working through some concepts and finally built a working vision module for Nova that allows her to see. With some caveats of course. (I know I’ve mentioned she could see in the past, but for perspective think of it as a race. Old Nova was using a Model T. […]

PowerShell 5.1 and later PowerShell 7 made development of new modules incredibly easy. It let me prototype ideas quickly and test whether different systems behaved the way I imagined they would. Early on, convenience mattered more than efficiency because I knew I’d go back and replace it with a better option. Both versions of PowerShell […]

Here’s something more tech companies should work on.. making their projects not so bloated. That may sound aggressive, but it’s true for a lot of projects. Over time there’s commented out code and old files that get forgotten. I get it. Time crunches, prioritization of “working” over “perfectly compiled.” Me, I have the benefit of […]

Well, I’ve made some progress in my AI experiment. As you can see from this GIF that Nova is capable of subtle movement while waiting for something to happen. However that’s not really what people come to see. So lets talk about the changes from my last post until today. First off, Nova no longer […]
