Hello,



I'm going away for a week tommorow, on holiday, so I won't be there to

reply any mails. When I get back, I will have lots of time to work on

the book.



Anyway, I was reading some online documents again and, well, I sometimes

amaze myself with the combinations I come up with while not thinking

about the general impression of things too much. =] It was just that I

was reading a document on how to handle wolf/dog hybrids and came

accross a sentence saying that the owners should take the wolf/dog cub

out into high grass only to prevent it from getting distracted by the

sorrounding activity. Without thinking too much it poped to mind what a

great idea this was... you take Robin in high grass so he does not get

distracted by the arrows and other things around! =P Sorry.

Hmm, yes, that's what happened basicaly. I got my parents and everybody

for the information I required to feel comfortable, then I went on the

trip and everything turned out to be ok.

You get the same thing if you ask my cat about what is the radio's

amplifier like; to most it's nothing but a cold machine, but to my cat,

it's the plesant little square of surface, nicely blowing warm air out

of it. =P

Aha, ok, so I've guessed it appropriately.

That's actualy the defenition of a pack. You see, like humans form

families, wolves form packs. ;] It's the same thing basicaly, but I'm

not the one to tell the simmilarities appropriately, because the family

sounds like a rather lonely option to me... I think too much like a

wolf, I guess. =P



One of my two friends, Rob, said that he better indentifies himself with

a Malamute than with a wolf, so I checked that type of dogs out on the

net, check what I found:

--- Begin quote ---

*    likes to be with you ALL the time. 

*    needs constant mental and physical stimulation to avoid boredom. 

*    needs regular exercise and grooming. 

*    won't come when called unless he feels like it. 

*    can be stubborn. 

*    likes to drag humans for a walk by a lead. 

---- End quote ----



And it seems all of it is amazingly true for, guess who... yes, my

friend Rob. =P

Hmm, interesting. Reading brainstorms is quite nice to me, tells me just

as much as, say, looking into a dog's eyes: A lot! Tho I have to admit

that a "brainstorm" sounded like something else to me when I first heard

about it.



Anyway, you mention reincarnation... well there is a problem in

principle with me, so no I don't belive in it. My religion has something

to do with interpreting the world in 3 elements (that cover everything

from my POV, but that's all I need): Information, life and power. These

elements are not really around, they're just labels for things; for

example when something dies, it sets off it's life element and all kinds

of bacteria come and feed on that life element or another example, that

interesting things constantly set off the information element, so

whenever one comes around, he can feed on it by looking at the thing. So

you see, I do know a kind of a reincarnation, but it is a lot more

down-to-earth: The life element it took to make me alive did come from

another lifeform, but most likely not from another person somewhere on

the other side of the planet, but rather some plants and animals my

parents used as food when I was 'in the making' =P and my personality,

the info element, did not drop out of the sky either, I got it some from

my parents as genetic memory and some from my environment.

Very funny. Here psychiatrists are harder to find than gold.

It's VERY interesting, because it points out how do I solve a very tough

problem in ICI's natural language understanding. I of course do not

think in binary maths while forming sentences, I do have automatic

speech like all NTs; it's just that I sometimes do not know how to get

at these tricks.

Wow. I thought you supposed that was your hard work and you wouldn't be

sending it around for free. =P Sure, do send, I would love to have those

pics. =] Then we say I owe you a favour and I have an excuse to offer

you a free copy of my software once it's ready to be sold. ;]

You're right, this _is_ far fetched. =P It would seem however, that it

would take an unlimited amount of memory to store all the things from

"run = fast" to "wind = fast", wich neither I or my computer can

manage... What do you suggest to avoid that problem? Should I take

things the way I feel them (like I feel the wind when going fast, etc)?

I could run like the wind just to be with you.



C'ya!
