  1. .@bigballofmud The thing that is tough is that ppl aways want to make money the way they always used to rather than moving on to the next.
  2. .@bigballofmud I still think that the race to free is an illusion. As long as power laws govern popularity, many things won't be free.
  3. @dagfinnr Pretty much.
  4. @KentBeck @bigballofmud The brutal truth is that nothing guarantees that the market will value a particular skill.
  5. @bcook Sounds interesting.. is there a link to that kind of info? Didn't get " 1 (6 4 2) 5 1"
  6. MIDI velocity is sort of like using a thermometer to measure the doneness of meat.
  7. It's really hard to program with SpongeBob in the background. He's not the best pair partner.
  8. @HackerChick You have a point.. still thinking I want some design better than I have, though. Maybe it is old fashioned.
  9. I wonder if I can write threaded dispatch of MIDI events from a priority queue before they get back from shopping?
  10. new Pacer(new ToneGenerator(new MIDIOutput(10), augmentedChord(50)), new Wheel(new ArrayList<Integer>()));
  11. @garry_stewart Thanks. That's a great idea..
  12. Trying to find a good mapping of chord types to scalars for automatic music generation. It's a goofy problem.. sure someone has done it b4
  13. @RonJeffries I don't even know what decent rates are for a designer these days.
  14. I have an extremely lame, un-updated website http://michaelfeathers.com/ I need to figure out how to do a better design job.
  15. @RonJeffries I think there's a way. I just think that seeing prod. of intell. effort as property is getting in the way, however.
  16. Eastbound code, a brilliant new way of looking at 'Tell, Don't Ask': http://bit.ly/up8Pm (from @jamesladd)
  17. .@ashalynd What I like about it is that it doesn't extend the metaphor of property to intell. product. I think that is a prob today.
  18. How capitalism changes when scarcity goes away: http://bit.ly/c4LfZ
  19. .@olabini My grandfather was an interesting guy.
  20. .@olabini My grandfather once told me "For everything you do in life, there'll be someone who hasn't who'll tell u it's wrong or worthless"
