    Heh, from my Seinfeld reference; “When you name a (bot) Jeeves you’ve pretty much mapped out its future. Not much chance he’s gonna be a hitman.”

    Have to leave that up to Ahnolde the Tuhminatuh.

    Jeeves earned name. Like Two Dogs . … .. never mind. … that was happenstance. Dances With Wolves earned name.

    Now, was that R100’s “personality” to begin with, or did he mimic that from memory because that’s his new name and job?

    Either way, funny, funny, funny.

      So if R-100 is Jeeves who plays Wooster?

    I think that the name from fits better as being derived from the Liaden universe of Sharon Lee & Steve Miller. After all, their Jeeves is an AI with fully awesome capabilities. It also is capable of running planet level defenses.

    R100 should read up on Wodehouse: fussy he could be, but Jeeves was a “gentleman’s personal gentleman” (i.e. a valet, not a butler); also, he was unquestionably the hero of those stories. He was always about five steps ahead of everybody – okay, not a high bar with the likes of Bertie Wooster, but still – and totally unflappable. You could do a lot worse for a name to carry.

      I haven’t read Wodehouse, but Jeeves sounds like Henry in Asimov’s ‘Tales of the Black Widowers’.

        See “TV Tropes- Battle Butler”;

        http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BattleButler

        The quintessential example was Mervyn Bunter, gentleman’s gentleman to Lord Peter Wimsey. Wimsey’s wartime platoon sergeant, he was a fully-trained and combat experienced infantryman, sniper and artillery forward observer- as well as a a photographer and watercolorist.

        The perfect batman, whom you wouldn’t want to cross anymore than your would THE Batman.

      True. Jeeves was the only one who knew what he was doing.

    A very nice touch with “Jeeves”. You could almost sense his nose being raised with his, “Well, really!”

    One of my favorite BBC imports was ‘Jeeves and Wooster”. And one of the main reasons I avoided Hugh Laurie’s later ‘House’. And the fear that Mr. Laurie would revert back to Bertie’s archetypal British Twit and start belting out old Cole Porter tunes, badly.

    Though it would be kind of neat to have “Jeeves” use Stephen Frye’s voice to politely critique Skye’s signing at the Double D Blues Club.

    If you’ve ever read PG Wodehouse you’ll know that Jeeves was a bit of a poonhound and a player who wasn’t above engaging his social “betters” in Machiavellian schemes behind the scenes (and entirely without their knowledge) to take his well-used but now-tiresome sweethearts off his hands.

    Jeeves was not a butler. He was a gentleman’s personal gentleman.

    hell, I figured the Blues Club opening night toon would be the Sunday strip to allow for more strippage, either way, looking forward to it.
