Question: sedona.net haha awesome! What year did you get on? Looks like you didn't wait for those AOL Floppy disks to show up in the mail Asked by AnalSeducer (75.125.220.x) on November 19 2011, 5:36am Reply on November 19 2011, 6:12am: It was 1994 I think. AOL didn't have a local access number, even. Comment... Question: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnR3ZMiYczw does that make you laugh, or is it cheezy? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on November 19 2011, 5:05am Reply on November 19 2011, 6:12am: Hah. Not really my style. Comment... Question: (speaking of production) you like your servers up to date or if they are rock solid you run them for as long as possible? Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on November 19 2011, 12:26am Reply on November 19 2011, 6:11am: the stuff that can't go down often doesn't get updated often.. if it's a dev server, it'll be more up to date... There's a nice balance to be had, though.. if you never reboot, you never know what'll happen when you do finally need to reboot. Comment... Question: Who was your first ISP? Netcom? Aol? Asked by PinkAsso (208.64.185.x) on November 18 2011, 8:24pm Reply on November 19 2011, 12:15am: sedona.net, booya. Comment... Question: You ever dream and have a Codemare? I had one recently where my app only worked fine for me & when people used it, it had errors Asked by AnalSeducer (75.125.220.x) on November 18 2011, 7:59pm Reply on November 19 2011, 12:15am: Nah, I have good music dreams where I've just played some really awesome riff, and I'm afraid I'll forget it tho. Which I of course do. Comment... Question: Do you ever want to quit Reaper then and do music only? (I'm assuming your WinAmp payday was big enough to retire.) Asked by John (69.15.110.x) on November 18 2011, 7:17pm Reply on November 19 2011, 12:14am: No, because then I'd use REAPER and want it to do X Y or Z and thus the cycle would continue. Comment... Question: Why don't consumers naturally work backwards to what's "good" then? Is marketing control that powerful? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on November 18 2011, 7:05pm Reply on November 19 2011, 12:14am: A lot of it comes down to availability -- you can only (easily) buy the new stuff. Look, a lot of new versions can be great, but when you've been using the old version, especially in a production environment, upgrading is not something that can be taken lightly. Even if we could migrate our VC2005 win64 projects to VC2010, and have them easily compile, we would want to have those builds tested for extended periods before we released them. Too much can change. Comment... Question: I sent you an email maybe 2 weeks ago. about an idea i've been working on, i'm just curious if you got it. Asked by DevXen (174.27.237.x) on November 17 2011, 2:37am Reply on November 18 2011, 4:10am: Yeah those sorts of emails are a bit pointless imo. Comment... Question: Word 2000, old HTML, VS6 ... would you say you may be an"old dog" who doesn't want new tricks? Do you still learn new tech? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on November 17 2011, 12:20am Reply on November 18 2011, 4:11am (edited at November 18 2011, 3:24pm): Edit: when new things are good, I'll switch to them. VC2010 can't compile my code without crashing. Xcode 4 is awful. I've only been using Git for a year, but I can't imagine going back to SVN. So much new is terrible, though. Newer versions of Word? no point, really. Comment... Question: Thoughts & Opinions? americancensorship.org/ Asked by AnalSeducer (75.125.220.x) on November 16 2011, 10:49pm Reply on November 18 2011, 4:11am: I think censorship is bad, but I'm not too worried. Comment... Question: Why do you still use transitional HTML presentation attributes instead of CSS? Never bothered learning it? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on November 16 2011, 6:43pm Reply on November 16 2011, 10:13pm: I do know some CSS, but not enough. Every time I make anything using it there's a ton of fiddling trying to get things to look right and/or work as I expect. :( So I'm lazy and just whip out a table. Comment... Question: Ever feel like Reaper is in maintenance mode and you want to start something totally new? Asked by John (69.15.110.x) on November 16 2011, 6:11pm Reply on November 16 2011, 10:14pm: I often wish I would spend more time writing music in REAPER than programming... It doesn't feel like maintenance mode though, overall, constantly big things needing to be done. I'm reminded of a great quote: "Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance." (Vonnegut, from Hocus Pocus) Comment... Question: is victor gay? Asked by Fred (85.134.194.x) on November 16 2011, 5:30pm Reply on November 16 2011, 10:15pm: The internet doesn't allow you to know these things, ever... Comment... Question: Is there a good solution to reducing spam on decentralized networks? Asked by Mr. Distributed (199.48.147.x) on November 16 2011, 2:40pm Reply on November 16 2011, 10:15pm: None that I know of, other than making good filters on the receiving ends. If everybody has good enough filters, who would bother with spam? Comment... Question: Have you ever done an audio course in mixing? If so, do recommend it as being helpful? Asked by Mick (194.19.111.x) on November 16 2011, 12:28pm Reply on November 16 2011, 10:15pm: I haven't. Comment... Question: What WAS the reasonable question you didn't answer back in 2009? Asked by Ruairi (203.59.148.x) on November 16 2011, 1:05am Reply on November 16 2011, 10:16pm: That's when the site began, the idea being that I wouldn't not answer any reasonable question... now with the added restriction of no REAPER FR/BR/etc type things. Comment... Question: Have you ever studied the academic side of algorithms, or do you just use raw brain power/logic to do what works? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on November 15 2011, 8:25pm Reply on November 16 2011, 12:16am: What does "the academic side of algorithms" mean, exactly? Comment... Question: I beleive that there are three people developing REAPER. In % how much of the three are involved in the amount of total coding? Asked by JustCurious (89.180.116.x) on November 14 2011, 6:13pm Reply on November 14 2011, 6:40pm: The three of us do all of the coding, except for the licensing of certain technologies (such as Elastique). I would guess that about 40% of our time is spent coding, and the rest dealing with everything else. Comment... Question: man to man here-Do you ever spend days on code & not go anywhere. And then when you go somewhere you feel anxious around people? Asked by AnalSeducer (75.125.220.x) on November 14 2011, 4:00am Reply on November 14 2011, 4:32am: Not to that extent.. I might spend an afternoon debugging something then be in a strange mood following that, as my brain adapts back to normal life. Comment... Question: Protoss, Terran or Zerg? Asked by Eyes (210.9.92.x) on November 14 2011, 2:10am Reply on November 14 2011, 4:33am: Never really got into starcraft, the few times I've played it anwyay. Comment...
