Journal Regression
Tas's sister Marta got married today. She looked awfully happy, and thus, I am happy for her. Met cool academic people at our table. They're visiting Ames this weekend (wish I had remembered to tell them to visit VRAC!). Good times. And you can't go wrong with fried cheese.
Listening to The Cure and remembering the past is a depressing way to spend a Saturday night.
I've broken my work/research mental block though.
Cheers.

mmmmm, fried cheese....drool
Oh, and as for The Cure and remembering the past: Yes....bad, bad, bad idea =) I like The Cure a lot, but it's damn depressing music.
Things starting to settle for you a bit? Or is it still crazy? :)
I'll have to visit come August.
The best way to deal with the past is to convince yourself that it never happened.
Was it girls from the past again? o_O
I tend to forget how much has happened in my life and stuff like The Cure reminds me of years past where I knew totally different people and did totally different things. Remember when I actually worked on Sphere and had a community around it? :)
Yeah, I don't know why, but I keep on remembering those days. It is not like I did much with Sphere or contributed to its development. Dunno, just being around there, meeting new friendly & creative people, observing all the chats going on at #sphere and learning new simple things made me feel really good and gave me that "I am at home" feeling. Somehow I can't find such a community anymore :/
P.S. Usually older Bad Religion and Millencolin songs remind me those days.
Hi. I'd like to know what you think about the information in my latest journal entry.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/lordgalbalan/71239.html
What do you think? Offnote, I think it applies to you as well as to geniuses, because I think you are an IXTP cross type. That would suggest you can sense patterns around you, and need structured intellectual systems to work with. What do you think?
I'm not a physicist, so the first half doesn't make a great deal of sense to me. I'm not even sure what you're trying to say.
I was suggesting that the reason you sometimes score INTP and sometimes score ISTP on those MBTIs, is because you are somewhere in between. Now to be somewhere in between you'd have to have your mental energy cut in half between the two, and that would cancel out both your sensation and intuition, because you wouldn't have enough energy to tell one from the other. The alternative is to have your input crossed with your output, like saying, the output from the video goes to the printer, and the output from the print spooler goes to the monitor. So you could "sense" intuitive constructs like patterns and shapes, and intuit things like facts, and taste, and the rest of your perceptions of reality. It's just a hypothesis though, because I can't really test it, and I certainly can't fully imagine it because my mind isn't capable of doing so. Does that sound anything like your experience, though?
The Sphere community is still alive. You could always go back.
Nah, gotta move on to bigger and better things. :)
I have no idea. I don't put much thought into those personality test things.
What about the work of Carl Jung?
I don't know him.
That's an insult to everyone who remains a part of it, don't you agree?
Besides, what is "better" and "bigger" than your fellow man, or have you forgotten the famous phrase, "Business? MANKIND WAS MY BUSINESS!!!!!!"
Then how do you measure a person's capabilities, if not through personality profiling?
You should.

He's the Einstein of psychology.
Perhaps we have different outlooks on how to change the world. I believe in compounding smaller efforts into larger ones. You seem content to create a single large effort in as much time, and leave it.
That said, I'm glad you didn't implement tilextile movement into Sphere. Makes another selling point for Worldyne. ;)
Working with them, seeing what they can do. I don't think you can effectively distill a person into four bits.
Uh...? I'm working on much better things for now...
Why don't you work on Sphere?
Sometimes it's a good idea to make things simple even when it's not obvious that simplicity is needed. No one ever said Miyamoto programmed his own game engines.

Because it's not my project.
And it's god damn huge. But I will work with you to put the feature in, if you would implement the algorithm that I design for it. (or arrange for another to)
Do this, and I won't just stop bugging you about Sphere, I'll hail it. And so will others. It'll be a great damn that suddenly broke, you'll see.
It's open source, so others can do whatever they want with it too. Sphere wasn't putting bread on the table though. I certainly don't look at it as a failure.
Tiles are so passe anyway. If I'm not learning, the work isn't worthwhile.
So?
Yeah, you are definitely emotionally impaired. A true IXTP.
You can't measure me.
Whoa, what? What does that mean?
If I follow your thought process, I can with Jungian BS!
CURE Forever!!Super MUSIC!!
