[GreenKeys] Streamers

[Nick England]

First of all, many many thanks to Jordan, Tom, and Tom/Paul who make the
streams that keep our machines exercised. You are heroes for battling the
software demons/daemons to provide beautiful music in 7.42 time.

There was a joke in television engineering that NTSC stood for “Never Twice
the Same Color”. For software, I think that’s “Never Twice the Same Code”.
With few exceptions, whatever you think you are doing (setting bit rate,
etc) is really just making a suggestion to some quivering masses of code
that *might* eventually cause the desired action.

I understand the dedication/obsession it takes to finally get something
running and the frustration when the quivering mass shifts beneath your
feet. I’m glad that you do that work so that people like me can print
stories/news/pix/etc.

I spent decades designing very complex hardware and getting very complex
software to work with it, so I am happy to retire from that battle and
enjoy dealing with the relative tranquility of the madly thrashing levers
and gears of a Model 28.

Thanks again to our streamer heroes.
Nick
