@nicol Hehe, ikr! Further parallels with Mike's story: ZX Spectrum was very first computer I used; typing BASIC in from magazines (although it didn't sink in for me, probably too young); and later the continuous-upgrading in my own software works exactly as Mike describes WordPress's. Really beautiful interview! Aww, cheers for asking. Yeah, time-synched metadata is bang on, I'd say. Example of it at https://guide.handmadehero.org/code/day667/ There's the basic textual summary, but also categories and references.

@miblo I remember typing it in from an Usbourne book I think but I never had much patience! That’s really interesting about the indexing - the other two interviews we published this last month I used Hyperaudio on for time-synchro metadata, and it was quite a faff. First getting the subtitles file via Vimeo, then correct, then converting it, then going thru and making the questions bold with breaks and paragraph returns as needed.. https://25.netribution.co.uk/nic/cath-le-couteur-on-digital-utopias-closing-shooting-people-film-collectives-the-future/. Must have taken me near a day - so I didn’t do it for Mike! A long time ago I used Pocorn.js to add all sorts of synched info to some vids, that seemed to go out of fashion, but was useful.
