Ok, so the videos are from 2011, and Matt may not be the best presenter and the audio sucked quite a bit.
However ... I found them to be quite informative in several aspects:
You have to have respect for someone who can re-develop an app from scratch without the original code.
You can understand the extreme patience required by the BOINC server operator who is applying many arch-based clients and having to recompile the server software to do so - while the server software is breaking for various other reasons.
I recon 2011 was a very trying year for Matt and he did well to push through.
Now he's got a solid platform and some cracking client apps.
Quite the coup, and well deserving of some adulation, I think.

Great work, Matt!
Thanks for sticking with us.
