You know what? Why don't you check your privilege?

You'll have to be more clear than that. There's tons of porn on Tumblr. What are you disputing?


I've never found anybody who both likes laughing at this kind of stuff and is actually worth listening to.


There's a reason they're always green accounts.


Do you, by any chance, know of a resource that documents the process of actually getting your toy OS (which I assume was cross-compiled) to run on another board such as the BBB or the RPi?


Sorry for the late reply, I just saw your message. I don't have a toy OS (not enough spare time), but I did work on one as part of my job.

I don't know of any documents, but the way you'd generally want to do it is wrap hardware- and board-specific parts of your code in a hardware-agnostic interface which is what you use to write higher-level code in the system. That way, getting the OS to run on another CPU or board is all about writing the relevant callbacks. You can get the general idea from Linux's mach-* and plat-* files. This isn't really OS-specific; I'm pointing at Linux because it will probably be easiest to get documentation about it, though my personal preference is elsewhere.


It looks pretty cool but I think it would be nice if you could put the instructions somewhere more visible. Maybe I'm just retarded but I couldn't figure it out until I noticed the little question mark. Maybe somewhere on the side rather than below.


Yea I'll fiddle around with the placement of that, or maybe just make the popover be showing the first time you load the site.


Are you going to be adding more genres yourself? Or are you waiting for more people to submit songs?

I think it would be cool to have a search by band member so you could see what other bands someone has played in.

I do have to say, it looks pretty cool, but with a bit more features it could be a kick-ass site.


We have two launches coming up in this year, and the first one will see a lot of genres added by us as a team.

The second one will be our new platform, and that's where we'll let people define their own genres and whatnot.

Would you be interested in giving us feedback when these launches occur? I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me :)
