Retiring from Spaghetti

[michelrietveld]

Don't quit, just ignore the ones not worthy of using it.

I finally got around to reformatting my lap top and am ready to reactivate Spaghetti like we discussed about two weeks ago. With, "not offering
suport" I hope you're still willing to do that! I'll shoot you a PM.

Gary,

I understand where you are coming from. Perhaps, it will free you up to do something else. Sometimes closing one door is a good way to find another door open. I wish you all the best and will be in touch.

Cheers, Ian

Bummer. I haven't done much with spaghetti since I got it but it's worked well in my limited experience. I still can't wait to see it running some cool shows once I get my projector built.

I've been thinking about it for awhile. Today some guy on LPF annoyed me to the point where the BS became greater than the beer money it generated. Spaghetti is what I use for laser shows at home and I will continue to improve it to suit my needs. It's all about me now. I apologize to those who might feel abandoned but it is what is. I'll leave Spaghetti available for download and keep my forum operational at least until my domain expires. It's been an interesting jouney but I am excited about my retirement.

I will not be releasing the source code for it because there is a lot of IP that I wish to retain.

Uhhh... What were you doing on LPF anyway?

PM sent.

After some thought, I have decided not to completely abandon Spaghetti but things will be different. I'm sure that I may have lost some customers from my quick decision to abandon it but that's life. For those remaining and/or future customers I will immediately address the first two nagging issues:

(0) Price will immediately be dropped to $89.

(1) Sound card DACs - I will not offer any type of support and no one will receive sympathy from me if they can't get theirs configured properly. However, I will be creating and releasing a FREE sound card DAC utility that will allow tuning and testing with a hard coded test pattern so that noobs can stop blaming Spaghetti when they don't properly configure their soundcard.

(2) I will start charging a small fee for creating replacement license files. The first will be free for the same computer. Subsequent licenses will be something like $5. Transfering to a different computer or to a different person might be a larger fee. This is not set in stone, yet. However, this will be temporary since I will immediately switch to a dongle.

I welcome comments, suggestions, complaints, etc.

I'm glad to hear this. Your work has been invaluable to many here and I'm sure most will support you.
