Huh.
David Buck sounds like Linus Torvalds.
Only he's more polite than Linus is. :-)

A definitive ruling on the correct pronounciation!
Seems went pretty well! Very interesting to get a 'take' on both of you
guys. (So now I want to know if David is a Senators fan.)
I am giving it a second listen. I am wondering if the show was
presented straight-up as recorded or if you can detect any editing. It
seemed pretty true with some of the time delays left in and so on.
Given that you had to start from first principles and get across the
keyboard-to-picture concept repeatedly, you were able to cover a lot of
'territory' of the POV-Ray world in the available time. It was
certainly effective to have the HOF available and hear the hosts'
noticeably genuine response to what they were seeing there.
It was interesting and in a way reassuring to me to understand that the
people behind the development side really are heavy-duty technologists
and can simply enjoy that side of it.
It was also interesting to hear how originally, the process of putting
code out and the surprise of having improved code or
pictures-never-thought-possible come back at you, was integral to your
enthusiasm at the time. Thoughout the interview you returned to your
enthusiasm for the POV community and its dynamic for evolving software
and images.
I thought your insights into the attractiveness of this program for
artists were remarkably accurate but quite basic, I thought there might
have been some ways to extend that side a bit more. Still, you and the
hosts inventoried the whole spectrum of issues and interests attached to
the enterprise wonderfully.

I liked how he thought "wait, how did you do THAT with MY program!?"

I know about it. David didn't know who the astronaut guy was. :)

Yes, but my daughter is an even bigger Senators fan.

It seems to me that one or two sections were cut out but overall that's
the way it went. We have a few troubles with lag when we all started
talking at once.

Yes, the HOF helps explain what POVRay does. TO be honest, it's hard to
explain to someone who's never done it. People keep thinking about it
with a graphical modeler.

I'm glad that came through loud and clear. I can make POVRay images but
I recognize that I don't have the artistic eye and talent to make
beautiful POVRay images. I enjoy providing tools that allow others to
be creative and seeing the results of their creativity.
For a while in the late 90's, I was working with a good friend of mine
who is a professional animator. I would write the code and he would be
the animator and graphics artist for our project. This collaboration
was really fun and created things that neither of us could have created
alone. I'd love to be able to do that again sometime.

Thanks. It was fun to do and I would like to thank and congratulate
Chris on his participation. He came across really well and contributed
immensely to the conversation.
