Hehe, me neither, BTW. =P I'm a composer not a musician. I use a little

freeware proggy called Modplug to put the sounds togather in neat code

and listen to that, then finetune it. If you have the time, you might

want to get the thing yourself and I can help you up to make some

remixes of your own.

Last ***4*** being 3 8 5? LOL. Are you just learning how to count or did

I get something wrong? =P

I preffer to resort to objects than copying up code. VB modules rule. ;]

I have tried determining the system myself, but evenutaly gave it up and

decided my memory was categoric insted of sequential. There is one thing

which is obvious, for example while walking down the road I will be

asking myself where I am every 5 minutes and still keep the correct

direction.



I have found I still have all the memory of all times, it's just hard to

access and it's availabilty will change as my view of the world changes.

They want you to be happy and their logic is too short for them to

understand that there might be such people in this world that do not

find the participation just as fun.

LOL. Yes, that's a typical autistic observation I guess. I've said to

myself it could not be taken as such because it's too discriminating for

NTs. =]

Hmm, that's not my idea of group work. Perhaps your oppinion is shaped

by bad experience. You sure know Bill Gates, well, lightining strike me

if that guy was not a total aspie, yet he would not reach anything

without the team of coworkers. My experiences of REAL group work (well

the forced version in school sucks as hell) are very nice; tho you have

to notice one thing that in order to make them do anything, you have to

start off spreading around commands. Productive discussion is always a

joy.



But then again, I must admit that this groupwork is all very related to

my work itself. Perhaps sometimes a little hard to make the distinction.

I will stop now because what I'm trying to tell you about is a little

beyond my cognitive abbility and I'm getting a headache.

I don't experience any simmilar delays myself, but will still say that:

These NLs just can't wait, can they? They'd rather say first and then

think than the other way around. =P

Natural language is a little harshly beyond the simplicity of code or

maths. I'm sure the Lisp NLU program agrees with me on this one

completely, as it is running on a rather gigantic Linux box and still

sometimes takes up to a minute to chew trough a complex sentence.



A good joke of explaining why the programs are so slow at it is saying

that all the programmers were aspies. ;] =]

Well? I think it's true, what about you?

LOL. You are a duplicate of me except maybe a few months behind. =] I

can help you here, just ask me QUESTIONS. I have the resources to find

all the answers, I promise.

Those models won't do you no good, you know you can't invent the MISSING

information. You need explanations. ASK! If you feel like you can't

complete a question because of lack of information, then don't.



C'ya!
