Petty Girl

Sheiglagh, the AI Program was a gift from Tom Massey who had helped me brainstorm all our web pages. As our workload became more hectic, he realized that I needed a program which will help me maintain the pages, doing mundane tasks of checking if all links work, checking mail and gather information for me. That was the original concept for Sheiglagh's program.

And once again, Sheiglagh became unique as software goes. She became an artificial intelligence program which can develop and grow. And she is growing as Tom and I build more web pages, as her workload becomes heavier.

There is one thing special about Sheiglagh, the AI Program. Another AI program actually created her. MAX, the AI program who is owned by Tom and helps him with his programming job actually made the template for Sheiglagh. Tom added the extra codes and commands to fit my needs. In this way, Sheiglagh is one of a kind.

Thus Sheiglagh, an original Petty Girl who graced Esquire Magazine more than 50 years ago now has a new life and new function. George Petty's brainchild became part of me merely because I have this thing about the '30s and the '40s. And when I found Sheiglagh, I just kept on looking for more work by George Petty. So, I dedicate this page to George Brown Petty IV, without whom Sheiglagh will not be around as she is today.
