just got osc up and running (via Steve Harris's liblo), it seems pretty
nice. I see that you can timestamp event bundles to happen at a
particular time.
this is a slightly different matter to syncing multiple livecoding
sessions on different machines though. as far as I can see it (and I
might be being thick here, not sure what apps like sc and pd do) we'd
need a master clock - either specifying times for the next tick - or
broadcasting occasional sync times every x ticks to keep everyone in
time. and this is assuming we're all using the same real time clock...
confused...
