Re: Ben Beaumont jumps ship

I think that Oracle Media Objects was based on the Plus code, which also had 
its own life as a Windows only tool. I programmed a 12 CD-ROM series in OMO, 
though we didn’t get around doing the last two. You can still buy those 
CD-ROMs, but I think thy wouldn’t work on a modern OS:

Re: Ben Beaumont jumps ship

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

The most important thing is your message is "I remember teaching myself" 
. . .


LiveCode should be banging on about this endlessly; I am trying to teach 
myself C#

and getting thoroughly bogged down.

I am also gently teaching myself HyperNext, and because that is 
Object-based like Hypercard
and LiveCode it is pretty painless. HyperNext is an effort put together 
by one person, and as such
is both amazing as a one-person job and considerably inferior to 
LiveCode for the same reason.


Admittedly I did teach myself PASCAL in 1984 (mainly because I really 
couldn't even begin to
understand what the lecturers in the Maths department were talking 
about): but, having got through that

when I "found" Hypercard (1993) the whole thing was far less painful.

LiveCode is quite modular (if one thinks of controls as modules) and as 
such one can
build up from simples to very complicated stuff (c.f. LEGO) relatively 
easily and quickly.

At times, I wonder about what would happened if I asked SuperCard for an
upgrade . . . to my version 1.5 disks . . .

And if SuperCard had leaked that the PC version was coming, I wouldn't have
abandoned my project 25 years ago, and would probably be the largest player
in bankruptcy software today . . .

Re: Ben Beaumont jumps ship.

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

No, turnover is not worrisome; in fact the odd spot of fresh blood
is often a good thing.

I just felt "funny" discovering things like this through other channels.

My plans are modest, but focused on LiveCode 100% . . .

and am amzed that LiveCode has both survived and got stronger
when one compares it with all the also-rans which have gone to the wall.

This exacerbates that sense of fragility.

They didn't move on in the same month. As Heather said, Ben went part

In any case, I'm not sure why it is 'worrying' (especially as we have
had two staff join us recently).

What would be worrying is if companies started locking their employees
up in chains and never let them leave! ( It would also be illegal, in
the UK at least ;) ).
