Assumptions
Answering a yes/no question with "I don't want to talk about it" lets you see what people assume given no information. From a tiny quantity of data, it looks like they're not good at guessing correctly, nor do they seem to be consistent in choosing "yes" or "no":
- "Did you get into MIT?": people assume "no"
- "Did you two kiss?": people assume "yes"
- "Did you get a 2400 on the SAT?": people assume "yes"
I don't have an explanation for why people guess this way. Do you?
Also, a progress report on my summer activities:
- ARML: Yep. I hope I can do it again next year and be a little more useful.
- "Stella Nova": The string parts are coming along quickly, now that I can focus on it a little more. Also, woodwind parts (nowhere near done) are hard to write.
- Math: Is happening but not giving me much to say.
- Fluffies: You'll see it if/when I finish. :P
- ESP and Melon Island: No progress yet.
- OpenGL: I can draw stuff! Now I just need a model format, preferably a well-specified standard that supports skeletal animation. Meanwhile the flakiness of ATI's Linux drivers has been making me sad.
