Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on November 29 2011, 9:34pm
Reply on November 30 2011, 4:04am:
    I have used it, and it's interesting, though I think I listen to about the same 10 or 20 albums most of the time. I really like the album format, vs songs.

Question: Where can I find a text of the old scrolling credits in WinAmp 2.0 and where did you come with the idea for that?
Asked by Tribal Plague (99.33.78.x) on November 29 2011, 9:15pm
Reply on November 30 2011, 4:03am:
    Probably embedded in the exe.. not sure what the idea came from, just standard movie style stuff...

    It is very simple to answer.

    At times, though I think bowling was a bigger culprit.

Question: Which open source license to prefer to release your code under and why?
Asked by Mr. Distributed (137.56.163.x) on November 29 2011, 2:41am
Reply on November 30 2011, 4:02am:
    If it's code that I think everybody would benefit from, and I wouldn't imagine any secret-sauce updates being important, then a BSD style license (example: most of WDL). If it's something specific where if someone took it and improved on it, I'd likely want access to their improvements (example, WDL's resampler lib), then I'd do LGPL.

Question: what's top of your list of things you'd love to do but haven't quite found the time yet?
Asked by themike (90.195.247.x) on November 27 2011, 5:55pm
Reply on November 30 2011, 4:01am:
    Hmm getting a pilots license would be sweet... just can't commit to devoting enough time to it, and it's something I'd want to do well, not just half assed.

Question: How do you decide when something is done and ready to ship?
Asked by Mr. Distributed (77.247.181.x) on November 24 2011, 6:20pm
Reply on November 27 2011, 3:49pm:
    That question can be applied to so much in life! You never really feel anything is done, but "good enough" or "better than the last version" are feelings you do get.

Question: Do you use standard VC6 timers for anything in Reaper?
Asked by schmoe (208.181.106.x) on November 22 2011, 10:48pm
Reply on November 27 2011, 3:50pm:
    Do you mean standard Win32 timers, i.e. SetTimer()? If so, then yes, but only really tasks that are the lowest priority.

Question: EuCon support! Please?!! Anything that the community can do to support?
Asked by Bharath (117.192.144.x) on November 22 2011, 5:49pm

    Get Avid to publish specs for it?

    It was, though I've had more fun since then.

Question: Any thoughts on the C++11?
Asked by Rodrigo (187.112.249.x) on November 19 2011, 1:40pm
Reply on November 27 2011, 3:52pm:
    Doesn't really interest me much; once it gets wide compiler support that may change, but much of the additions are to things/styles which I make little use of currently.

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.

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

    Hah. Not really my style.

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.

Question: Who was your first ISP? Netcom? Aol?

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.

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.
