Hi everybody! More than half a year ago, I came across LessWrong via Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, and have since read around half of the sequences. I’m so glad I found this site. I had a sense that more is possible, but I didn’t even know the word “philantrophy” existed before I got here, although that might be because that word is less common in German (which is my first language). At the few meetups I’ve been to, I’ve met some very awesome folks – I can’t remeber feeling so comparatively uninteresting ever before. I hope my experience with this site continues to be this eye-opening.

Help needed: German translation of the Singularity FAQ
Meetup : Munich Meetup (updated)
I can’t seem to change my password. It’s 41 characters long (I don’t know why I thought that was a good idea), which might have something to do with it. I’ve tried multiple times, and every time it says “Incorrect password” next to the “Current password” field. Any tips?
I am willing to translate the FAQ to German, but I’m not sure I can do it on my own, especially concerning the technical terms. Someone competent would have to independently translate the document or at least proofread my translation. Who wants to help?
GTD and the Pomodoro technique have different aims, I think, and are not mutually exclusive – you could use GTD for keeping track of what to do when, and Pomodoros for actually doing (some) tasks.
Many people also write down the task they want to do next, and put a checkmark next to it after they successfully finished the task. This might be important because it helps to build a chain of successes: http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret
Okay! I’ll contact you when I’ve finished the first draft.

Thanks, that hadn’t occurred to me. It says “No email address for that user”. I can’t set an email address either.

I admit I’m a bit confused by the date format – I don’t know what the +0200 means, and I could’ve sworn I set it to 3pm or maybe 2pm (and I’m pretty sure when I looked at this post earlier today it said 03:00:00PM). Anyway, I’ll be there at 3pm local time. Gasteig.
Please don’t be! I, personally, am glad for an opportunity to speak English, and this is an English-speaking site after all.
I vote for doing the meetup on the 20th/21th instead. It looks like there’s only three of us who could make it this Saturday, compared to maybe 4-6 at some other time. (Edit: Also, I just learned I have another obligation on the 6th, so this Saturday doesn’t work well for me.) I could make a doodle, if that helps.
Oh, and also: The address of the café is not Bahnhofsplatz 2 – there are two Coffee Fellows, one inside the central station (which I think you are referring to), and one outside (at Bahnhofsplatz 2).
I will attend if there are at least two other people, and I’ll bring my slackline, just in case.
Thanks, everybody! I don’t think anyone is going to make any further edits at this point. As soon as I can I will look through the changes just to make sure that there have not been any accidents and then send it to lukeprog.
Me too.
I’d be interested in hearing them.
