Transcription of interviewer, Eliza Hepworth, and founder of the Win-XD, Christopher Norman in "Friday Night Interviews #276: A cup with Chris Norman" Jan 27 2009.
Hello, Chris! Such a pleasure to meet you finally!Pleasure for me, too. Great fan of your work
*Laughter*, done your research, ey? I just know tonight we'll have a wonderful interview.Hope so too
Start
So, tell us, what was the main inspiration for your system?Great question actually... probably the latest advancements in technology. Everything's moving so fast and I felt as though, to keep up, I could make something truly remarkable. Software with the power to change the world and the way people interact with technology
Any people, specifically?Well, the now-defunct Microsoft is a good example. They went so strong during the 90s, then boom, a catastrophic failure in their headquarters that led to their untimely bankrupcy. That whole ordeal kind of, set me down? But also raised my spirits. It was sort of the last straw for me to actually launch myself straight into the market.
Ahh, fun! I see, I see... Who is currently developing your system?That is a... question. Hah, I mean, we used to have a larger team, split ourselves into two departments labelled the :3 and the xD, we thought the names were funny. Childish things, you know? But nowadays, the team is dwindling, as more and more of our work becomes automated
Automated? Tell me more about that.Well, you see, I really can't. Legally. It's a whole ordeal *nervous laughter*
Ahh okay. So, would you say this "Automation" is for the better or for worse?Better, definitely better! Couldn't be any happier with th-IT. It.
Alright! So, Chris, how's it like being funded by Cold Table themselves?Truly invigorating, albeit hard. They can be a bit of a hassle sometimes, but I can't judge really. Everything we make is fully paid for by them, and we couldn't be any happier!
Sounds great. Now, final question for tonight Chris... What's your favourite color?It is, and will always be, green
