Huh. I didn't expect to read a post from a fellow 'Wiener' here 
Nice read, surely fun to work on something without stress, corporate guidelines and standards forced upon you

*winkt zurück* Servus 
Yes it is - I am getting a bit nervous as they told me that they will "call me up to the stage" during the concert to present the author of the app... 
Second thing that makes me nervous is... I am a hobby-drummer, played for years and of course they know that... Might well be, that I will take the drums for a song during the concert to play along with them... Now THIS is a bit a scary imagination... on stage... oO

Whhooo! You better practice their songs, nothing messes a band up like a drummer that's off time...
Good luck - and post a video!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What's the difference between a drummer and the rest of the band?
About half a count

If I don't get banned for advertising, I will happily share the video after the concert
(It's on June 24 in Vienna)
Someone asked, if the Band has a name - Yes of course, but I can't tell here - not before the Launch.
I'd love to share a video link of the 3 favorite songs for me from them - but ... no. not today
They are not known in the u.s. for sure - It's not a big name like the earlier mentioned AC/DC - but they play since almost 20 years together, changing single persons now and then, but all the time the same core and the same style of music.
If you want to know what kind of music - think about 3 Doors down mixed with Nickleback and some harder riffs like Iron Maiden would play.
All melodical music, no trash, and every time, I introduced someone to their music (who didn't know the Band), they all asked for more --- but of course, the close contact I have with them makes me "more" of a fan as I would maybe be if I didn't have personal contact.
But no matter how you look at it, if you like a strong male voice, singing guitars and good drum beats, this is something you'd enjoy.
Some ballads are for darkened rooms  but there are many songs that are dangerous for you if you're alone in the car on the highway at night...

And this says a lot about you... in the good way (or at least the way I like)
If I don't forget it, I will come back to know more in sommer, after the launch and the concerts... I now am very curious / excited about their music (and your app)

That would take it too close to advertising. Not allowed in the Lounge.

What's their advertising tagline, "Join the Swiss Army"?
I think we can afford to let a few ads like that through.

How the hell is that advertising?
I've posted a music video every week for the past year and people posted music video's back.
Never was it marked as advertising (for as far as I know).
It's just posting about your hobby, or in this case work.
It's not like he's saying "you should buy the newest album of this band now!"

But you have nothing to do with the music you posted

Somewhat different, but I've experienced that working with hardware engineers and the pleasure of all of us seeing the hardware "come to life" with the software, and vice-versa. Hardware engineering is definitely artistry, not just in this day and age of auto-routing PC boards, but watching how an engineer figures out how best to route the power and ground lines, deal with line noise, select appropriate chips and figure out how (especially on the little SBC's like an rPi) to address the different components in the software, etc.
It's also a pleasure when I work with a software engineer that puts together and architecture and writes code with artistry in mind!

That's a cool history. Glad to see that after all the time in the industry there can still be projects where you get back to this kind of feelings. It gives a bit of optimism / hope in the future again.
I am happy for you and on the same time envy you for the months you had but I don't envy you to be called on the stage... I prefer to stay on the side, behind the courtains

Congratulations !
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal
