"Unfortunately, mojang has been permanently deleted. All of mojang's videos will no longer be available." Did they just kick him off? Cause I didn't hear him say anything about taking the stream offline.

He terminated it himself: http://twitter.com/#!/notch

We're offering him 100% free service on TwitchTV. In fact, he'll MAKE money through our partner program. Since we already have a massive Minecraft casting community, I think it's a logical place for him to do it: http://twitch.tv/directory/Minecraft

He mentioned getting an email from them on stream.

He's probably cancelled his credit card too. :)

I have lost count of the number of things I learned. Particularly new ways of doing things.

Can you list some of them? The concept of editing the game loop code while the game is still running is new to me (even though apparently this has been around for a long time).

I didn't watch the full stream, only an excerpt from the middle. Do you know how that works? That really fascinated me.

I'd pay money for a 24-hour channel of various programmers, known and unknown, livestreaming. Does this exist already?

Would be interesting to have a recording of the linux kernel programmers, could release a 'Best of Code 3.1'... offering football highlights of coding :) I wonder who would pay to watch Carmack and others code on a regular basis..

Problem is if we only saw him diving into Rage source code and tweaking stuff, that wouldn't teach us much.
