From: thunk on 3 Apr 2010 17:56 The troll rode in here looking for the answer to the question, that, in retrospect could be worded so: "they are members of a group, they are minimalistic, they are ..blablabla and they remind the group seems like a "Swarm" so I will start with "Boid". Boid carries AI baggage offending some, intriguing others, and dazzling not a few. Circles were gone in, kophs were butted, gurus passed judgements, mullas mulled and so on.... A nekkid ru'id was posted, examples given, ................. "Actors" were suggest but they are all tied up in more trivial seeming tasklets "ABS" doesn't impress (at least what was turned up in 1/2 hour of.... Bottom.bottom.bottom line nobody has been able to tell the troll what the freak'n thingy is: sooo, the troll must assume 1. nobody cares anymore || 2. nobody really understands (even looking right at a nekkid one) || 3. the troll has done something to register at least a "interesting" (but nobody has the balls to acknowledge) || 4. the troll is wacked the troll thinks a mix of 1&2&3, yaaa some 4 (what else is new) but lots of 2 and enough 3 to make the troll even more curious what is the REAL big picture is. and also the troll is frustrated, yes, frustrated because the domain she is working in is not where the greatest Good is to be done. trinkgeld ya, but not much for good. but screw it, enough is enough posting now so this is DONE, the troll will not feed herself, she's not of that sort... and that dot.com startup theory? the troll thinks you guys may be eating some of the wrong mushrooms.
From: thunk on 3 Apr 2010 18:23 ps this is the most fun the troll has had in awhile, she's off now to write a book on: How Emergent Swarms build knowledge farms in the clouds; and why your shopping basket just laughed at you or how to make ru'id behavior pay she's still pondering on that choice

There is no question in that paragraph. This is an example of what made me stop listening. > Bottom.bottom.bottom line nobody has been able to tell the troll what > the freak'n thingy is: IMHO it's your part to explain what all this is about. Either you have an idea for a design or software architecture and want our judgment. Or you present some ideas and want to know what architecture would fit that or whether that thing does exist already. But it's your turn to convey your point. We can only help by asking questions about things that are not clear to us. > sooo, the troll must assume > > 1. nobody cares anymore Well, fact is that with the flow of posts and news coming our way most of us employ some form of heuristic that stops following a topic if they did not get to the bottom of the issue after a certain time. Given that I'd say people have followed your "boit" stuff pretty long. > 2. nobody really understands (even looking right at a nekkid one) I believe this is the main problem. For whatever reasons people did not or do not seem to understand what all this is about. > 3. the troll has done something to register at least a > "interesting" (but nobody has the balls to acknowledge) That's not true: IIRC several people have stated interest in your project but failed at point 2 of your list. > posting now so this is DONE, the troll will not feed herself, she's > not of that sort... Apparently you broke your vow already... :-) Cheers robert PS: I don't think it is a good idea to invest time in a piece of software as that advertised in this thread. -- remember.guy do |as, often| as.you_can - without end http://blog.rubybestpractices.com/

But it was very little time and it's been fun :-) Sometimes, it's a good idea to spend some time doing something that is recreational but not of any other particular value. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.
