unfortunatly, most people, while they had some excess mental capabilities, always came with som e side effects
probably 30-40% of people there had ADD anyway, or were different in some other strange way
but it was paradise
because there, people were all so weird, that we started to forget the outer selves and only see the person behind it
how we looked, how we talked, what we said, all this stupid stuff that seems to matter so much to every-day people and who are ready to pick on you because of that if you're different from them in those points
all that didn't matter

Heh. :)

Talking of torture, /me remembers the ipotato test IBM 'offer' new recruits
deadchip
it's your typical sci-fi "a camp full of weirdos with strange capabilities" scenario
but we were a failed project
it was terminated 2 years after i left the school
approx. 40% of the people i know who were with me participating in it are now drug addicts or otherwise can't really get a grip on their life
and the rest somehow managed, but they still have severe problems
FauxFaux: hmm
FauxFaux: i know a chick who worked at IBM
Ellen
she worked with me at relevantive
it's a usability consulting company; they are making the new HIG for KDE 4 atm
she can get all the Lenovo notebooks for half the price :|
lol
FauxFaux
Heh, I thought that was the SUSE people. ;)
deadchip
FauxFaux: you mean who make the HIG?
yeah well relevantive+BaSysKom+SuSE == more or less a family
FauxFaux
I was thinking of things like the kmenu.
deadchip
yeah
that's all stuff that either Jan or Ellen come up with
while i worked there, i actually came up with some stuff myself LOL
so a small part of what everyone's using in KDE today comes from me
deadchip hides
FauxFaux
Or will be using, when it runs on Windows. ;)
deadchip
yeah well a.seigo is haard-set on getting it run on windows
with Qt, it should be doable in the end somehow
FauxFaux
Heh, there's six people with the /surname/ Ellen here, let alone the first name. ;P
