Question: Have you ever thought of your work in programming as a kind of stewardship toward humanity?

    I look at it as more trivial in the scheme of things but still worthwhile, I guess.

Reply on May 19 2024, 7:28pm:
    it's hard for me to answer this because my experience was in a world that was so much different from today's! get an atari 800xl and start typing in BASIC programs from Antic magazine? that would be ludicrous.

Question: Back in March 1998, a string of new Winamp versions in the 1.8 range were released adding genre versions, some of which would be backported into the ID3 spec. In Winamp 1.82, the genre "Negerpunk" was added (which, of course, isn't a real genre). Do you remember the story behind the bit at Nullsoft, or anyone else that may know more about it?

    I was adding things (including features, and genres) in response to requests from EFnet IRC, including, regrettably, that one.

Question: Since it will be legal to do now, do you have any interest in hacking on your old code again and adding features to winamp?

Question: What's your take on this? llama-group.com/wp-content/uploads...(TL;DR the people who own Winamp are open sourcing it)
Asked by Kevin (152.173.97.x) on May 16 2024, 7:57pm
Reply on May 17 2024, 2:40am:
    Hopefully they GPL it! It's all based on a bit of ancient crap written by a stupid teenager so it will be nice if someone cleans it up and modernizes it a bit. but not too much.
