Good Morning everypony~ I have an hour before i start tidying my room, so i may as well spend it here for once. I neglect you guys cause of final fantasy and college q.q

@cavatina You tidy your room on schedule? :S
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:42:29 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin I plan to do it, the day before i do it. Keeps me from *not* doing something i really need to do. I need plans to do anything really... Yay aspergers~.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:43:45 UTC from web-
@cavatina Wasn't Aspergers that disease that made people unable to recognize facial expressions?
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:46:15 UTC from web-
@nerthos Disease....seriously? and that's probably the vaguest definition of it i've ever heard. An easy and truthful way to put it, is my mind will function completely different to hows yours would. Sadly that brings with it a variety of social ineptitudes you have to work on overcoming, like lack of empathy, difficulty understanding sympathy, general social skills. It's really hard to explain. The need for specific insturctions, in specific orders is another thing that can come with it. I think @ceruleanspark may be able to explain it better than i can.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:48:57 UTC from web-
@cavatina Disease/disorder/medical condition, however you want to call it. Guess I'll look it up when I wake up. I remembered the facial expressions thing from a comic. I'm now curious about that "my mind works differently from yours" thing. The output is easy enough to comprehend, but there may be some tought processes I'm unaware of.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:56:17 UTC from web-
@nerthos The thought processes are what genuinely confuse me day to day... I'm still learning.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:58:25 UTC from web-
@cavatina Guess I'll have to find study on the topic, identify those tought processes, and run them in kind of a "virtual machine" (modular mind is the best, heh) to be able to fully understand it. It's that or basically dissecting the minds of a couple people who suffer from it, something with better results but that requires going through the effort of finding people for it and establishing deep connections with them. God, I love these kind of things. Psychological puzzles everywhere to analize and solve.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 10:03:57 UTC from web-
@nerthos heh o3o
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 10:07:40 UTC from web-
@cavatina GAH I wanted to sleep, but now my mind is active again. Oh well. I'll try anyway. Good luck with your room tidying and such.

@nerthos Another thing i just remembered, is i have an inability to understand totally irrational thinking. I cannot piece together any logic for hatred of an OS, for example.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:51:49 UTC from web-
@cavatina Become a programmer, it'll seem much more rational then.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:53:33 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Most people do not hate the OS from that standpoint, so no it wouldnt. I can appreciate some OS's are easier to develop for though. I know OS X is a total **** to work with sometimes. But i'm pretty sure most people who hate the OS dont give a damn about that. So it seems irrational...
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:54:35 UTC from web-
@cavatina So because most people are irrational about something, it means everyone is? Because the latter is what you actually said.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 09:56:10 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Well that's not what i meant...

@jla Unless i know someones reasons for hating anything though? Totally irrational to me. Though if they mention cost, then that's not that valid a reason to hate *anything* to me x3
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 11:16:49 UTC from web-
@cavatina In this case, I of course mean free as in freedom, not price. And the reasons are ethical.

@jla I personally prefer Linux above all else... I wish the stuff i need to do my work was available though. Or not in a fledgeling state..
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 11:19:02 UTC from web-
@cavatina Most programs not available are proprietary anyway and I refuse to use them. And I would always pick a less advanced free program over a more advanced non-free program, I consider technical features irrelevant. But in my case, most of my serious work needs are covered by Emacs, which happens to be cross-platform.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:02:31 UTC from web-
@jla What exactly do you do?
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:04:06 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves I'm a student! I don't think I have any classes involving programming at vocational school any more, but I write everything in org-mode.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:10:02 UTC from web-
@jla I'm a student to, and it's not even an option in my program. There's a CompSci major I know who works that way though, and it really looks like a pain.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:15:41 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves What you do to avoid Emacs pinky is hit the Control keys with your palm, use the left Control for commands on the right and vice versa and hit Alt with your ring finger.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:19:36 UTC from Choqok-
@jla Operating Emacs isn't the issue. It's that very little of my work can be done there.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:21:15 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@eaglehooves Oh, right.

@jla VI IS SUPERIOR
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:21:30 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Vim sucks. It only beeps at you and then you don't know how to quit. (I actually do know how to do that but I need the emergency vi guide for more.)
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:25:53 UTC from Choqok-
@jla That's basically my feelings about emacs. Funny, that.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:39:41 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark I suppose it depends on what you learn first. ;) I first learned the basic commands in the bash shell and went from there.

@jla We are rather liberal about the form, so I "program" the format for the document myself :)
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:24:17 UTC from web-
@hakupony My upper secondary school is liberal about that, but my vocational school is business oriented and we learned document standards.
Wednesday, 19-Sep-12 13:31:29 UTC from Choqok-
@jla Well, we only need science standarts over here :3

@cavatina Well, hatred is always irrational. But I can see how you can really dislike an OS - I for example really don't like what I've seen of Windows 8 - so I won't use it. I personally even like when people tell me why their OS is better as mine since I may learn of something I'd like more. And then there is my general dislike for windows in public-funded systems because it basically is my money they buy it with.
