I had a strange, yet funny conversation with a female friend today. Can you tell she is a geek? purplegreen: let me ask your opinion about a male behavior... purplegreen: popped just right now onto my operand stack :) purplegreen: there is a guy purplegreen: simon is a friend of his, that's why i know the details purplegreen: listening? Gregor J. Rothfuss: yes purplegreen: thnx purplegreen: well, he has been single for a while, but he's handsome, ghee purplegreen: well, he met a girl who was sort of crazy for him purplegreen: and it happened that he met her blabla purplegreen: fact is that there is something going on, but he doesn't tell his friends purplegreen: and you don't see anything in public purplegreen: no holding hands, no kisses purplegreen: no nothing Gregor J. Rothfuss: interesting Gregor J. Rothfuss: intriguing purplegreen: but they come together and go together Gregor J. Rothfuss: i kinda like that approach purplegreen: what is going on? Gregor J. Rothfuss: hehe purplegreen: simon says they are sleeping together, but it's nothing to write home about.... purplegreen: still i think it's strange Gregor J. Rothfuss: maybe they don't want to deal with idiotic friends who want to offer "advice" Gregor J. Rothfuss: i could see that as a problem sometimes purplegreen: ahhhh, come on purplegreen: there's no advice needed purplegreen: right now it's about the fun purplegreen: why not tell his best friends purplegreen: why not show a bit in public Gregor J. Rothfuss: well, why tell him? purplegreen: they are friends Gregor J. Rothfuss: i don't tell all my trivial stuff either Gregor J. Rothfuss: if its fun its prolly trivial Gregor J. Rothfuss: by telling others you make a big deal out of it Gregor J. Rothfuss: which it maybe isn't purplegreen: for her it is - i can tell purplegreen: she not the kinda - fun - girl Gregor J. Rothfuss: serious romances are not fun Gregor J. Rothfuss: at least, i wouldn't call them fun purplegreen: well, when romances aren't fun, so what's the deal in getting started? Gregor J. Rothfuss: romances are Gregor J. Rothfuss: wrong word Gregor J. Rothfuss: love interests are not fun Gregor J. Rothfuss: fun is too light hearted a term imo purplegreen: it's not really fun to get into the analyze und entwurf phasis... afterwards it should be fun or you better get out Gregor J. Rothfuss: implement Gregor J. Rothfuss: is fun Gregor J. Rothfuss: prototyping Gregor J. Rothfuss: is fun Gregor J. Rothfuss: throwing exceptions Gregor J. Rothfuss: is fun Gregor J. Rothfuss: refactoring Gregor J. Rothfuss: is fun. NOT. Gregor J. Rothfuss: man, i'm reading my first chapter Gregor J. Rothfuss: and it sucks rocks Gregor J. Rothfuss: i'm rewriting it purplegreen: to make your source code open -> is not fun Gregor J. Rothfuss: i must have been smoking crack Gregor J. Rothfuss: hehe purplegreen: aha purplegreen: are ya :) Gregor J. Rothfuss: maybe they should copyleft their relation Gregor J. Rothfuss: maybe they do not want others being able to modify it Gregor J. Rothfuss: ahem. purplegreen: i don't want it to be modified by anybody but me purplegreen: sure they can send patches purplegreen: but i might not apply them Gregor J. Rothfuss: i was going to say that Gregor J. Rothfuss: LOL Gregor J. Rothfuss: we are twisted purplegreen: i simply love to explain life in it terms purplegreen: it just suits perfectly purplegreen: i feel like a cvs repository Gregor J. Rothfuss: word!! Gregor J. Rothfuss: you are a geek Gregor J. Rothfuss: welcome.
