Question: Just wondering what this MP3 Search Engine project was that you were working on when you were at AOL. I read it on Wikipedia. Asked by Jason (74.166.234.x) on September 14 2011, 4:47am Reply on September 15 2011, 1:22am: We had nothing to do with it -- there was the netscape search divlet or something, and they just rebranded their stuff with a winamp logo for us. It was silly. Comment... Question: Yes (goo.gl/vQK2Y). A lot of ppl use it and others have asked for a mac port. Asked by Ruairi (203.59.148.x) on September 14 2011, 12:42am Reply on September 15 2011, 1:22am: I'll look at merging it in, thanks! Comment... Question: Hey Justin, I'd like to ask you a longer question that I can on here. If you could email me: danielmaartens@gmail.com. Asked by Dan South Africa (41.2.104.x) on September 13 2011, 6:08pm Reply on September 14 2011, 12:24am: You should email me instead -- my first name at the company I work for's domain... Comment... Question: Re: haha, so true. Qt isn't much fun. I have to admit that there is a certain pride doing things in win32. Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on September 13 2011, 5:22pm Reply on September 14 2011, 12:25am: My choice of win32 over *insert toolkit* is not really about fun, but rather the end result and what I am used to. Comment... Question: What is your most prized material possession at the moment that brings you the most happiness? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on September 13 2011, 5:16pm Reply on September 14 2011, 12:26am (edited at September 14 2011, 12:29am): That's a really tough question, one I've been thinking about all afternoon. There are some small arbitrary sentimental things that come to mind, but they're not really worth explaining here. I'm wearing an Admiral Radley t-shirt which is probably my favorite article of clothing -- if I lost it I would be more upset than losing any other thing I've ever worn, I think. Not that I'm particularly into clothes. Comment... Question: Happy programmer's day!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmers%27_Day Asked by Programmer (161.148.171.x) on September 13 2011, 5:04pm Reply on September 14 2011, 12:26am: Yay thank you! Comment... Question: Know any coders who have tried to quit caffeine only to realize they "need" it to code productively. Asked by Ray Day (24.63.81.x) on September 13 2011, 12:38pm Reply on September 14 2011, 12:27am: I've recently reduced my caffeine in take by about a factor of 90%; I can't attribute any meaningful change of productivity to this change. Other than that, I've never known anyone to actually complain of not being able to function after quitting caffeine. Trying to function WHILE quitting caffeine, that's another story. Comment... Question: Have you ever used FL Studio? If yes, what do you think about its MIDI tools? Asked by Mommy (184.32.201.x) on September 13 2011, 4:20am Reply on September 14 2011, 12:28am: A little bit. It's kinda cool, but I haven't used it enough to say anything about its midi tools. Comment... Question: Are you chaps gonna add AlphaTrack Pro plugin to Reaper at any stage? And make a Mac port? Asked by Ruairi (203.59.148.x) on September 12 2011, 10:07am Reply on September 14 2011, 12:28am: Do you mean an updated, third party version of the AlphaTrack Pro plug-in? Comment... Question: Are "whittle" users forgotten? :( Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on September 11 2011, 7:38pm Reply on September 12 2011, 12:11am: No, but WDL is really for our use first... Comment... Question: I'm playing with Qt for a tiny project, what's your thoughts about it, does it worth the investment for the long run? Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on September 11 2011, 3:53pm Reply on September 12 2011, 12:12am: I haven't used it.. most times I see a Qt app it is obvious -- are there any Qt apps out there that don't look like Qt apps? Comment... Question: Or, infinitely more important, would your wife be as happy? :D Asked by schmoe (50.98.73.x) on September 11 2011, 4:49am Reply on September 12 2011, 12:12am: Probably happier. Comment... Question: If you didn't have wealth, and earned just enough to get by moderately, but had your wife and Cockos, would you be as happy? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on September 11 2011, 1:12am Reply on September 12 2011, 12:13am: Yeah, no question there. I think there's a quote out there somewhere, to the effect of "Money does buy happiness, but it turns out all you need is $26,000 a year" or something. Anyway, provided I was still able to do what I do now (programming REAPER and so forth), I would be as happy. Comment... Question: Are you using some kind of GUI-Toolkit for REAPER? If so, which one? Asked by Maximilian (83.215.66.x) on September 10 2011, 11:48am Reply on September 12 2011, 12:14am: We use WDL's "virtwnd" library for a lot of elements in REAPER, though at a higher level it's plain Win32 code. Comment...

Comment... Question: Do you have a favorite piece of music created with Reaper? Anything from the forums? Asked by Megalodon (24.241.240.x) on September 10 2011, 3:43am Reply on September 12 2011, 12:15am: You mean other than my own? (kidding).. umm, Some of those tycho tracks are pretty awesome... and Jed's stuff too... but there's so much good music out there I don't think I could pick one immediately. Comment... Question: What do you think about STL, regarding (1) design, (2) ease of use and (3) performance?

Asked by stench (68.28.147.x) on September 9 2011, 1:35pm Reply on September 10 2011, 2:26am: 1340. Comment... Question: can you create a software that limits my Internet use to x hours per day? Asked by Mommy (65.9.142.x) on September 8 2011, 9:08am Reply on September 10 2011, 2:26am: What would the point be? Get a girl(boy)friend? Comment... Question: Why the name Reaper and Jesusonic?
