ticalc.org Interview's

Post by kalan_vod »

They are doing interviews with a few people (mostly the for fathers of programming of calcs).
Joe Wingbermuehle is the first one who is interviewed, he made ion. I believe Pat Davidson should be next.
Here is the website and its the first news item on the page

Well he lost interests in calc programming so he didn’t really have many comments about the community, but what Kevin wrote in his article is a certian prospective. I hope the next interviewee is more into calcs still :(.

Im hoping that Pat Milheron will write back soon (Mikey said he would) and that I can convince him to have an interview.

*sigh* it's that OMGTIARMAGEDDON post again. At least we have our little oaisis here at Maxcoderz.
How would you guys rate it? I would just think of it as those groups were dead long before, just that it took em long enough to shut down their sites.

I was kind of suprised about that gaming convention part he mentioned; and that they still keep in touch.

No, not commercial games. Just little things for fun.

I thought Jimy's interview is kind of boring. It's short and doesn't hold alot of interesting question. I do like the fact that he thinks that big community isn't a real community. Isn't it size that defines a community?

I think the interview was pretty good, it covers the most important issues today. What makes me sad is that it had no effect on the commenting people...
