Neowin interviews Ben Goodger, Justin Frankel

mr_tommy writes "Neowin has had the pleasure of talking to two prominent figures in the I.T. world. First, Ben Goodger, chief developer of the excellent browser Firefox, and secondly, Justin Frankel, creator of Winamp and many other products for Nullsoft. We've got Ben talking about Firefox, XUL, and the future at Mozilla; equally, Justin talks (humorously) about his past, Winamp, AOL, music, and what he's up to at the moment. Also, read on for some of his projects he thought about doing when he left Winamp, including setting up an interesting alternative to Windows 2000 based on Open Source software, similar to ReactOS."

Keeping A Close Eye on Justin

Justin actually updates his weblog regularly. It's well worth checking out just to see what he's been up to lately.

Winamp Unlimited also does a good job of tracking down any online activities with the Nullsoft staff, or any Winamp/NS-related projects that might be brewing.

"I have an iPod, and I must say I do love the iPod (btw, the iPod Winamp plugin rules, too -- I can't stand iTunes, either)."

NSIS is pretty sweet

I haven't to-date investigated what other alternatives there are for windows-based installers, but these nullsoft guys have made one available free.

Definitely something useful for small developers who can't afford an installshield license.

Some useful background information...
