Freaked someone out with my data collection capabilities. ;)
sachac: you know so much about me! shapr: Whoops. ;) EmacsChannelDemographics, plus #emacs shapr: I have notes on other people too. * sachac laughs. how did you know I'm both a Finnish and Swedish resident? * shapr is impressed. You must have a superior memory. shapr: BBDB. ;) wow shapr: I also know you've played around with IPv6... shapr: ... #symbian #widian #twisted @#emacs #haskell #orkut, last time I peeked... * sachac laughs. Data collection. I can delete it from my BBDB if you want, but it's kinda cute knowing this trivia. I should learn how to use BBDB how do you know that? ;-) * shapr can guess impressive. no, I don't mind at all. It's nice to know someone outside my direct family is interested enough to record that info about me :-) * shapr feels ego swell anyways, last I remember (without BBDB) you were doing a graduate degree, is that still true? has the FSF lured you away from your secret tropical hideaway to the land of big money for open source coders? * shapr googles for sachac bbdb? big brother data base shapr: Actually, this started from our conversation about Dvorak in #emacs (don't remember when, though) when we noticed the high proportion of Dvorak users among Emacs users. it's written in elisp o_O? Peacimowen: A contact manager for Emacs. you know emacs? I know of emacs Peacimowen: I've also used it to simulate bot-like behavior, though. shapr: I took a few units toward an MA Education after finishing my BS CS, but as CS Ed isn't really a research area here, I'm eyeing schools in Australia (very active in CS Ed conferences). sachac: have you seen my "I am not a koala" kinesis remapping? shapr: ERC hooked into BBDB, so when I /whois, it captures as much information as I can. remapping originally suggested by kensanata, he of much brain. I've never touched emacs.. I just know it exists. Peacimowen: it is very powerful shapr: As it can, that is. No, I haven't seen your kinesis remapping... Peacimowen: It's really cool.
From Mike S. Lacanilao on PLUG:
this only reminds me that we filipino dont really like to have or at
least to see a tagalized version of international apps..
isn’t good to have this recognition for our country..
I think it’s nice, like the way I think it’s nice that cellphones come
with Filipino prompts and Filipino sections in their manuals. I know a
number of people who set their phones to the Filipino interface. I
think it’s nice to have Filipino as a choice on ATMs. I think it’s
nice that train announcements are done in English and Filipino.
But personally, I prefer the English terms because that’s what I
started out with, at least for technical things. I use a cellphone,
not a selpon. I’d rather see “Settings saved.” than “Na-save na ang
settings mo.” or something like that. <shrug>
I’m not against the Filipino language. If having localized interfaces
means that more people will feel comfortable on the Net, then well and
good.

Who is certainly not geek generic
He is better than me

And in graphics and games he’s demonic.

From Nath on the emacspeak mailing list:
You can try C-e n which will read you the text until you stop the speech
by pressing C-e s but the cursor will stay at the position it was just
before you run the command. Sorry I don’t know the command which will
cause the cursor to move in the same time the text is read.
