i remember when beta ment 'buggey and liable to crash every three clicks, also the graphics arnt finished yet so i have used placeholder images of my face and a animated gif of a man at work'

theese days it seems to mean

'not yet elligable for massive corprate sponsership' or somthing, i dont mean to sound leftey. i guess im a bit of a version control purest, like so meny 'computer aided composers' i tend to number my relieses as 'pre alpha' or v0.3 and i have been knowen to stick to the linux kernel 'even = stable, odd = youll be luckey' system.

I think this spate of 'unending beta syndrome' is largley carried by the web 2.0 bug. maby theres ajaxey scriptey stuff i dont understand goin on but it dosent seem likley.
Google, this fair site, humble voice, a few others i cant think of, all offer feature compleet, stable, compatible content to the public... yet they call it beta... why... unless they have misspelled better in which case fair dos, there are plenty of mistakes similar in this very text.

anyway, rant over.
whatever happened to info bursts?
Foh this weekend, fun *will* be had or ill be well angrey.
need to get back to making some music.
