I first installed BeOS r5 around the time of the fated "focus-shift".
Despite Be's unfortunate decisions (and ultimate failings as a company), I
was so impressed by the experience of using BeOS, it soon became my
primary (and after a short while, only) OS.
I have a few apps on BeBits,
including some recently released media addons. More to come soon...
I'm working on the OpenBeOS project in the MediaKit team, and am also
involved in the GlassElevator
project - with a view to enhancing and extending the BeOS MediaKit,
and putting (Open)BeOS back on the map for artists, media developers, and
other people who like CoolStuff.
I'm also a musician - in fact, the main reason I started coding in BeOS was
to make audio software that I could really use the way I wanted to.
I'm on BeShare (server : TyComSystems.BeShare.com) quite regularly under
the name 'unlyrn' , and always keen to discuss BeOS audio matters (amongst
other things...)
Finally, if any audio developers wish to discuss features, techniques,
improvements (or just want to say hi...), please contact me at the address
below.
