(although technically, several of my "real-life" friends call me "chip" or "bluey" or similar) (in the name of pedancy, I am not a developer at all, I am a programmer) # Patches are not submitted by email, but via sourceforge. Although I* use the same nickname everywhere on the internet. Bar one really obscure exception which was requested of me to protect the anonimity of others. # I* do not resist identification via my email address. I'm not actually sure it would be possible - my* IP address is all over the shop. *in fairness, I'm not sure whether your comment is directed to me personally or just a general comment BC Received on 2006-03-11 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
