My first attempt to write a decoder was done on a "Cyrix" 586 processor at 90 Mhz. (The kind that fit in a 486 motherboard and let you pretend you had a pentium.) I wrote it in pascal. It did just a little better than 1.5 weeks per minute of audio. I was thrilled to no end that I'd made it work at all.
My hats off to him.
- StavrosK 16y agoWait, if it took a day per second, how did you even know it worked? :P
- masklinn 16y agoLeft it running for days on short samples? (also 1.5 weeks for 60 seconds would be ~6 seconds per day, not one).
- StavrosK 16y agoHuh, this is true. I wonder where my math went, there.
- noonespecial 16y agoI downloaded "Hotel California" via FTP from tamu.edu, set it for somewhere about the middle and did 10 seconds. I recognized what I heard and was thrilled.
