Wise Words
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Howdy ho ...

This time the "Wise words" series is dedicated to Winamp (TM), the
future of Skins, Skinner support and finaly a SORRY to ICR and Rob
Lord.


         
           
              
                    


And always remember: Legens never die! They only sleep! This should not
                     sound that i myself guess i am a legend but some ppl
                     gave me that kind of status, because i was th2 1st or
                     2nd person who (far far way back) HACKED Winamp. And
                     since i was always the first to come up with a skin
                     supporting all the latest enhancements in winamp. If
                     this means LEGEND ... yes i am :-) But please do not
                     call me LEGEND. Use GOD or SIR FLI7e :-))

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Winamp (TM):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my opinion the rumours (nobody verified it to me personaly) about
Winamp beeing aquised by AOL for a hughe amount of bucks are worth a
statement. Let's say it is true. This would give all Winamp Fans a
safe, stable and promising future. Winamp itself has turned back to
where it started once. FREEWARE. One possible reason could be Justin
became rich enough to get himslef a new AUDI. Maybe even more rich
to get a Hi-Speed car. Alike ... The other possible reason is that
AOL realy bought / aquised Nullsoft and by this the meaning of FREE
came back to it. However: GOOD STUFF!

Hopefully Justin will go the right way and keep up the support and
innovation he always put into Winamp (TM) and Shoutcast (TM). 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Future of Skins:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well well well. Alot of ppl raised and fall down in this special
kind of Winamp (TM) history.

Some retired the work for Winamp (TM), some never reached the
TOP 10 at the most qualified Skin Sites like customize.org and
like.

Some other raised and quitted Winamp (TM) to support Sonique or
other skinable software. Pordy eg. is supporting Sonique and yes,
he is doing real good. Misery? Where is Misery? He is one of the
most talented artists i made contact with while the years passed
by. Plans to do a commercial business with him died because we
missed to meet each other on the Net regulary because we both
have rare time. Maybe one day. Actually he is one of 2 ppl
supporting KJofol with excellent skins. Keep up the good work!

And ? yes! There are some newcommer that do realy good. Most of
them just did one skin so far like Topaz. The skin he unearthed
to the world is real cool. The style itself is not the one i like
most, but he did it real perfect. I hope to see more of his stuff.

Finaly there is my very self. I took a while off the FREE business
and took my time to do some commercial stuff (even i need some
bucks to manage my real life!). Away does not mean DEAD!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skinner support:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section is dedicated to Michael Jervis (hope it wrote your name
right). His immense support in the Winamp Skins Mailinglist and his
Skinning tool (sorry, i dont use it. I have my own real effective
way to work the skins out) he is doing are real great and the only
word i can say is: RESPECT!

His skin reviews (mostly reviews for newbies in the world of Skins)
are real detailed, objective and correct. In most cases my opinion
does not differ from his opinion. Keep on this GREAT work. If i find
the time i will help you inside the mailinglist.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SORRY!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry Ian and Rob for my long away time. I had alot of stuff to sort
out like (you may still know) my mother died, i had a commercial job
to finish (2 hughe intranet systems with loads of CGI) and my 
http://www.well-done.com will soon enhanced with a completely new
system (even the whole guestbook service is re-done!). I will soon
be on IRC in #nullsoft and get in contact with you by mail.

Again: BIG TIME SORRY!

Your german Pal Timo.
