I'm in awe of the amount of hard and good work you put into the "un-sexy" jobs that no-one else wants to do! Kudos, kudos. > My final thought is that the new library is a double-edged sword.

There comes a point where time spent fathoming and fixing bugs becomes wasteful (and even less "sexy" than fixing the core of the problem by redeveloping the architecture). One of the rules of open source innit: be prepared to "throw one away". Anyway, just wanted to big you up for the work. :) One of these days I'll actually get on with the very minor task of hooking up the DJM-800 for MIDI control... but, happy to say, I have very little spare time at the moment because I'm too busy DJing :) Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Mixxx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel
