- The title of this video should change with the times. But nothing lasts forever: here's the story of how I made it work, why it used to be easier to make that work, and how it all ties in to the White Cliffs of Dover and the end of the universe.

This is turning out to be way more accurate than Tom expected
I'd imagine the views presented by the CZcams API are what are also used to show end users. All of the view fudging and aggregation will happen in the background before it's presented anywhere.

Hi
Two years later and it's still holding up. Nice work, Tom.
I wrote some code for a company that no longer exists "Bankers Trust". Many years later I came across a small pocket of people I used to work with at BT and found that the remnants have been bought sold traded for around 13 years. At that moment I got introduced as the "Guy who wrote the zzz system". I was mostly shocked that they still had it running. It was written in vb4 using DCOM and MTS in the lat 90's. AFAIK it's still going.
