    The first computer I ever got to use on any regular basis was my older brothers' Atari 800XL, I think.. mmm. shiny. I think the first one that was mine was an XE system, which was very similar in terms of internal hardware. That one I still have (at my parents house).

Question: I remember the RC plane with the camera and the piano from Craigslist. Do you still dabble in either?
Asked by Bubba-kazoo (24.218.215.x) on July 30 2009, 2:34pm
Reply on July 31 2009, 8:04am:
    The piano has its place in our music room.. not bad sounding, probably need to tune it again soon.

    The RC plane with the camera gets used occasionally. The image quality is pretty useless. When I do fly RC stuff now it's mostly helicopters.

    Nah, never really got into the format... I'm told I should listen to Adam Carolla's, though, since I liked him on Loveline.

    There's a lot of general overlap and of course stuff where we each have our own expertise..

Question: svn vs. git vs. p4 vs. cvs vs. mercurial?
Asked by siggy (76.21.34.x) on July 28 2009, 9:32pm
Reply on July 29 2009, 8:02am:
    SVN for now.. Nay on cvs. I suspect we may switch to Git at some point, as it does offer some nice things.. but SVN/TortoiseSVN is working really lovely.

Question: you mentioned vc6 in another post, do you still use that ide for reaper or are you onto vs2008? still using mutt or thunderbird?
Asked by pzdude (206.53.153.x) on July 28 2009, 2:01pm
Reply on July 28 2009, 4:42pm:
    Still VC6 for most dev, yes (using ICC with it for many files).. We build x64 versions in vc2005, but it is such a dog. About as bad as Xcode, actually.

    I gave up on mutt for day to day stuff.. so mostly Thunderbird (and iPhone mail).

Question: How do you feel about .Net base languages and obj-c?
Asked by PipSqueak (67.88.171.x) on July 28 2009, 12:09pm
Reply on July 28 2009, 12:36pm:
    I haven't actually done much with the .net stuff. I generally don't like the higher level stuff, definitely don't like managed code for general application development.

    Objective C isn't bad, there's a lot to like about it, but as it's all dynamically bound etc it doesn't have the same sort of usefulness as C++.

    C++ can have a lot of stuff that I don't like too.. I pretty much use a subset that makes me feel very comfortable with knowing what does what, and avoiding ambiguity. I try to avoid: multiple inheritance, operator overloading and exceptions, and generally speaking try to not over-engineer things.

Question: Which new programming language would you learn now?
Asked by PipSqueak (67.88.171.x) on July 28 2009, 12:05pm
Reply on July 28 2009, 12:39pm (edited at July 28 2009, 12:43pm):
    If I wanted to learn another programming language I would have by now... But if I HAD to? Umm, well probably something like Excel's scripting/stuff.. that seems useful. Or MATLAB.

Question: In terms of programmer, who do you idolize the most?
Asked by PipSqueak (67.88.171.x) on July 28 2009, 11:55am
Reply on July 28 2009, 12:40pm:
    At one point it was probably John Carmack.. If he updated his .plan more than once a year that might still be the case.. Linus Torvalds seems to be extremely reasonable and good humored.

Question: Which piece of code/software are you most proud to have produced/written?
Asked by PipSqueak (67.88.171.x) on July 28 2009, 11:46am
Reply on July 28 2009, 12:41pm (edited at July 28 2009, 12:48pm):
    That's hard to say.. Generally I'm less proud of the full applications, and more about the occasional reusable component... That's what I find most enjoyable (since then it makes doing things in the future easier). I'm so happy I have LICE to work with. And EEL2, too...

    Ok wait actually NSIS is probably the thing I'm most proud of (though it has grown much under Kichik's leadership, so he should get most of the credit).
