errr ... thanks. :) I know a lot of you know the feeling of loosing your audience when talking about really specialized topics like Schrödinger's cat or the salesman's problem or the backpack problem. Well, I post here non-J related topics since I know for a fact that someone (if not everyone) would know what I was talking about.
Actually, I am a bit frustrated with the General and Programming forums. Why? Because everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) would beat me to the answer. Hahaha, I would be composing my answer and realized that somebody else already posted a better solution (the key word here is "better"). Another one is that I would start composing a question for the forum and solved the answer to the question then and there ... and would be so embarassed to post because the solution was so simple and I didn't thought of the answer in the first place. I remember about the J user location wikipage. It just shows your country ... I was hoping for something like a google map pin for J users. I believe somebody already did that in another website. One that is embedded in the Jsoftware website would be cool. r/Alex _______________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lorin Lund [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 11:04 AM To: Chat forum Subject: Re: [Jchat] Death and What Comes Next by Terry Pratchett Alex Rufon wrote: > I read this short story today and I find that it's the best layman discussion > on quantum and also a really nasty/funny use of Schrödinger's cat. :D > > You can read the short story online here: > http://www.lspace.org/books/dawcn/dawcn-english.html > > Btw, the short story is translated to a lot of languages too. ;) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > Alex, Thank you for persistently treating us like friends. I appreciate that you share not just your 'J' related discoveries with us but your feelings too. Most particularly I recall your posting the day you had that motorcycle crash on the rainy day. The fact that you would mention that here made me think that you view us as friends. And I appreciate that. That makes me think I aught to be a little more open myself - maybe make a personal web page besides my technical/professional page(s). That leads my thoughts to the topic of a J-user wiki page or map or J users. I recall the topic being mentioned but I don't recall reading anything about it really happening. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
