I've had some forays into learning Lojban in the past, as well as a
bit of Esperanto. In fact I can recall a few years ago when I used IRC
more, my two channels of choice were either #ruby-lang or #lojban.

Unfortunately I never did get too far in learning the language, and
have forgotten most of what I did learn ;)

But part of my goal was always to try to create a decent
human-computer speech interface based on Lojban, which due to its
logical and regular nature would probably be easier than using
English. This would mostly be for fun, learning and my own personal
use (since I doubt the average person would learn a new language just
to talk to their computer.)

So, anyhow, let me know what you are planning Hal.
