Question: Would you share what the most difficult/challenging time of your life has been? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on July 17 2011, 5:37am Reply on July 22 2011, 3:31am: Hmm. That's tough. I could complain a lot about things I took very seriously when I was younger, but that was when I was younger. I was a bit disappointed when the book Ubik (by Philip K Dick) ended a touch abruptly. I enjoyed it greatly, was very sad to see it end. Comment... Question: Any tips on how to implement an accurate timer on Win32? Asked by Brujo (177.16.109.x) on July 17 2011, 1:20am Reply on July 22 2011, 3:27am: You can use the x86 instruction rdtsc to get a cycle timer (see WDL/timing.c in WDL).. or you can use QueryPerformanceCounter() etc. Assuming you mean accurate timestamps; if you want an accurate (and fast) recurring timer, probably should create a thread...

If I remember correctly, though it has been a while, he lined up advertising and other money making sort of things, as well as was quite forward thinking (and optimistic) about the music industry and what should be. Comment... Question: Ohhhhh Justinn...the code you wrote in high school is turning me onnnn oooo haha - Hey good Jam sessions did u jam in the UK?
