@cavatina You tidy your room on schedule? :S
-
@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~.

@thelastgherkin I work out *when* i am going to do it, and then i use a list to make sure i get through it.
-
@cavatina Wasn't Aspergers that disease that made people unable to recognize facial expressions?
-
@cavatina Rokiedokie, Raggy!
-
@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.
-
@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.

@cavatina Become a programmer, it'll seem much more rational then.
-
@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...
-
@cavatina So because most people are irrational about something, it means everyone is? Because the latter is what you actually said.
-
@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.
-
@toksyuryel Well that's not what i meant...
-
@nerthos The thought processes are what genuinely confuse me day to day... I'm still learning.
-
@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.
-
@nerthos heh o3o
-
@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.
-
@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
-
@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..
-
@cavatina In this case, I of course mean free as in freedom, not price. And the reasons are ethical.
-
@cavatina I know that feel x.x
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@jla What exactly do you do?
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@jla The only programms I need as a student are Open Office and Citavi :)
-
@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.
-
@jla Operating Emacs isn't the issue. It's that very little of my work can be done there.
-
@hakupony I do use LibreOffice to format to SFS 2487 standard for returning assignments.
-
@jla VI IS SUPERIOR
-
@jla We are rather liberal about the form, so I "program" the format for the document myself :)
-
@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.)
-
@eaglehooves Oh, right.
-
@hakupony My upper secondary school is liberal about that, but my vocational school is business oriented and we learned document standards.
-
@jla Well, we only need science standarts over here :3
-
@jla That's basically my feelings about emacs. Funny, that.

@ceruleanspark I suppose it depends on what you learn first. ;) I first learned the basic commands in the bash shell and went from there.
