Question: Any hints about Cockos' "next big thing"? What can we look for from you in the future?
Asked by Alan (67.53.132.x) on July 24 2009, 9:01am

    We've got some research projects that are interesting (to us), but are probably not "big things." One is a caching, persistent IRC proxy that may also end up doing protocol translation. It allows you to disconnect and reconnect with whatever IRC client, and have the proxy bring you up to speed on what you missed. Particularly useful when logging in on say, your iPhone for short periods of time.
Question: Which tech company (apart from Cockos) has really "got it right" in both development strategy and treatment of customers?

    Hah, well Cockos could do a bit better...

    I think doing both of those things is pretty tough, in any industry. Software may be the easiest due to the write (sort of) once, use infinitely aspect, once you have enough users. Trying to get a sufficient number of users can complicate things, if not done carefully (for example, spending money on advertising has a lot of problems).

    Sometimes, though, people just do great work, and genuinely care about the work they are doing. That's what's awesome. We know a painter who is that way. Anytime we need anything done, he's the man.

    Oh, and Taim for falafel. They care. They're awesome.
Question: Can I ask a question?

    Yes of course, that's the point.

    Edit: ha ha, homer simpson...

Question: Do you like pizza? If yes, what kind? Home made, chain pizzeria or random pizzeria stuff?
Asked by Xenakios (91.155.42.x) on July 24 2009, 7:46am
Reply:
    Yes I like pizza. Pretty much all kinds. I don't do big chain pizza much, ever since I got food poisoning after eating Domino's. That sucked. I don't like food poisoning. Highly not-recommended.
Question: I heard you like to party. Do you like cake?

    Cake is good.
Question: Would you like a caipirinha?

    Not at this hour, thank you very much.
Question: When did the fourth field of an IP address become alphanumeric? :)
