For our alpha test of InterMix Voices of Humanity software, we held a discussion with participants from two groups, the Big Endians and the Little Endians ala Gulliver’s Travels. These two groups cannot agree which end of the egg should be up in the egg cup. Well, when the issue is so night and day, not even InterMix can find a solution, though there were mighty attempts at bridging the gap, including an intriguing notion that equi-ended eggs might be bio-engineered.
In the end, the overall winning message reflected a Big Endian point of view, because there were more big endians than Little participating:
“Is there more to this than meets the eye?” Asked a prominent Big Endian. “Since big end up is obviously more practical for consumption, I suspect a secret vegan agenda behind the Little Endian movement. I suggest we form a Big Endians For Truth committee.”
We may never know how the Big Endians for Truth initiative works out, but we do know that some 80+ fixes/improvements were made during the alpha test. Coming up is our Beta test where the Steering Committee will advise on the top priority for the Voices of Humanity project. This will be a double test, since there are bound to be another batch of fixes and improvements, and also the usefulness of InterMix as a bottom up advisor will be in question.
Thanks to our Alpha Testers and please join us for the Beta test – a link will be available soon at voicesofhumanity.org.
