This is amazing. Currently there are 12000 people tuned to watch a man program live. Who would have thought that would ever happen... live streaming programming.

12000 people watching a man program _JAVA_. I guess hell is a cold place nowadays ;)

He's trying again at http://www.justin.tv/realnotch Edit: Seems like many people having problems with it, but Notch is sticking with it. Would be awesome if the Justin.tv/Twitch.tv crew can jump in and help!

In Germany you have to buy a premium account to watch. It says to much streams in this country.

There is just one peering video hoster, when can users stream on Youtube?

Max number of streams reached for my country. Who knew there are so many Notch fans in Estonia.

Odd when I try to load it the url jumps back and forth between twitch.tv and justin.tv and never sticks on either.

I just get redirected to twitch.tv, is it being streamed on both or only twitch.tv now?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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).

That is the craziest awesome thing i've seen while watching. It never occurred to me, but its so simply brilliant!

He just ended the stream when he checked his usage report on Livestream.com. Apparently he had racked up 17,000 viewer hours so far and said the cost was getting way out of hand. I'm trying to see how much that is going to cost him. It would be cool if we could get Livestream to sponsor him perhaps as a way to promote their service?

Holy shit.
